Fig. 4.1 Fig. 4.2
The machine is packed in wooden crates.
Unpacking must be done close to the installation
position. The cases may be easily transported by
a lift truck.
If the crate has been damaged during transport,
notify the insurance company immediately and
do not proceed with removal of packaging until
authorised by the insurance company.
When the crate is positioned in the place of
installation,proceed to removethe machine from
its packaging as follows:
a. Unnail the top cover and remove it. Do the
same with the side panels. Take care with
the wooden spacers between the walls of the
crate.
b. Remove the box containing spare parts and
the other components from the crate.
c. Unnail the wooden blocks that hold the
machine in place during transport and
remove the protective cellophane.
d. Check that the content of the package
corresponds to the shipping documents.
e. Make sure that all covers and panels are
correctly fastened in place and there are no
loose parts.
f. Visually inspect all electrical components to
make sure they are in perfect condition.
g. If any part or component is missing, notify
Tetra Pak Hoyer immediately.
4.1 Unpacking, delivery checks and transport
The machine may be moved using a fork lift
truck, taking care to position the forks so that
the machine’s weight is evenly distributed.

The machine is fully tested and regulated in the
factory with about one hour of ice cream
production prior to shipment to the customer.
Installation simply involves connecting up the
pipes for the condenser cooling water supply, ice
cream mix intake and outlet, compressed air
supply and electric power supply. There is no
need for internal adjustments to the machine; we
recommend that factory settings not be changed.
Proceed with the installation procedure as
follows:
a. Positionthe machine in its operating position
and check the plate data to make sure that
the machine is compatible with the site’s
electrical power supply.
b. Level the machine with a spirit level by
means of the adjustable feet. The plates
provided may be applied underneath the feet.
c. Connect up the condenser cooling water
pipes. (1) (2).
d. Connect up the ice cream mix intake (3) and
outlet(4_pipestothe production line.
e. Connectup the compressed air pipe(5).
f. Connect the machine to the earth and to the
electricalpowersupply(6).
4.2 Installation

4-4 F40 03 DB 00
Fig. 4.4
4.2.1 Cooling water connection
Connect up the supply of condenser cooling
water, taking care to get the direction of water
flow correct: water must flow in through the
connection at the bottom (2) and out through the
connection at the top (1) . It is recommended that
two on/off taps (3) (4) be installed close to the
machine,aswellasasmalldraintap(5)closetothe
bottomconnection;itisalsoa goodideatoconnect
upthesetwotapswiththemachinethroughtwopipe
unions(three-piece connectors) to makeit easy to
separatethefreezerfromthe installation.
Themachine is fittedwith a pressure valve which
controls the flow of water in inverse proportion
to its temperature to obtain constant cooling
(constant condensation pressure on the coolant
side); this makes it possible to use water supplies
withwidely varyingtemperatures forcooling the
condenser.Thewaterflow varies asa result, from
about 600 litres/hour at 5ºC to 3600 litres/hour
at 28ºC (average values for machine in operation
at maximum production rate).
Pipe diameter depends on pipe length and the
pumps available, and must never be less than
the diameter of the connections, which is 1” gas.
It is essential to wash out the pipes BEFORE
connectingthem to themachine by flushing them
with water to eliminate any particles or dirt. If
the water that flows out of the pipes continues to
bedirty,it will be necessary to install a filter with
a filtering capacity and size appropriate to the
typeandamountof dirt conveyed attheintake (1)
(thebottomconnection).

4.2.2 Ice cream intake and outlet connection
Connect the mix supply pipe to the mix pump
inletconnection (24) on the front of themachine.
The machine has a CIP washing programme
permittingthorough,safe washing of themachine
without dismantling its parts; it will therefore
be necessary to prepare the required connections
between the CIP washing pump and solutions
and the mix pipe.
Make sure that the mix flows spontaneously to
the machine connection (24) , and does not need
to be suctioned by the freezer pump; this may be
done by simply positioning the aging vats higher
than the freezer (check that the spontaneously
flowing supply is sufficient even when the mix
level in the containers is low), or by installing a
suitable centrifugal pump close to the vats. Take
care to ensure that there is no air getting into the
pipes, which could pollute the product and result
in fluctuation of ice cream overrun.
CAUTION:
Pipes must be dismantled and washed
thoroughly after completing this procedure
to ensure that no hard solid particles are
conveyedtoward the freezermix pump.This
is very important as solid particles such as
metalburrorweldingresiduescouldseverely
damagethefreezer pump and will invalidate
the guarantee.
Connect up the ice cream outlet to the utility.
Use the shortest possible pipe, with as few
curves as possible, and use a pipe which is shiny
inside; the pipe does not need to be insulated.
Make sure that ice cream pressure in the
cylinders does not exceed 12 bar (the absolute
maximumpermitted value); if this should occur,
move the freezer closer to the ice cream utility
and/or use hot gas to produce softer ice cream.
Connect the compressed air supply pipe to the
connection on the rear of the machine; it is
recommended that an easily removable tap and
connection be assembled close to the machine
connection.
The supply pressure measured on the machine
4.2.3 Compressed air connection
must never drop below 6 bar. It is strongly
recommended that the compressed air supply in
the place of installation be fitted with an air
drying system and A0 filters to remove oil
vapours and residual fine particles.
CAUTION:
Electrical connection must be made
exclusivelyby competent technicianswhoare
familiarwithsafetylegislationand authorised
toperform and certifyelectrical installations.
Check the identification plate to make sure that
the machine is compatible with the site’s power
supply. Connect the machine’s power supply to
the site’s distribution panel and protect it with a
4.2.4 Electrical connection
suitable device, complying with all regulations
for correct electrical installation in effect in the
place of installation.
We recommend installing an automatic circuit
breaker on the distribution panel, complying
with local regulations. Great care must be taken
to ensure correct connection with the earth, as
incorrectconnection couldcause severedamage
to the machine’s electronic parts and injury or
death to the operator.
The section of the power supply cable must be
determinedon the basis of its length and the grid
