WARNINGS
Danger of physical injury from the chute or disassembling the cases during maintenance. It is
possible to come in contact with the machine-members in motion. Make the machine safe before
performing regular cleaning and maintenance by turning off the Main Power Switch.
Danger of electric shock if the machine is not properly grounded with suitable earthing. It has to be
connected in accordance with the local/state regulations in force in the country of installation.
DESCRIPTION AND USE OF THE MACHINE
The T50 vertical sheeter is designed for processing dough in small size areas where space is a crucial issue.
It has the capacity of restrained dimensions during processing and can become extremely compact during
non use.
Two steel cylinders ground in hard chrome, with efficient rakers easily dismantled, guarantee a perfect rolling
out processing while high-powered transmissions make it possible to process harder dough. The opening
and closing of the cylinders are activated by a simple to use handle which is equipped by two options for
minimum and for maximum thickness. This makes it possible to use the machine to roll out dough in two
ways, pizza dough rolled out in pans or small quantities of pastry dough. The machine is particularly efficient
in processing fresh dough while regulating the speed by an inverter makes operations easier guaranteeing
fine pastry dough and regular thickness dough. Close attention has been put in the anti-injury systems and in
the controls which perfectly abide by the norms in force, while maintenance is reduced to cleaning and
periodic check ups.
It is difficult to evaluate how much work load is admissible considering that the machine has a powerful
transmission suitable for hard dough as well (egg-based dough). Nonetheless we advice that egg-based
dough are processed in portions no greater than 600-700 grams and to sheet the dough gradually by
reducing the thickness a bit at a time. The best results for thin and regular pasta dough can be obtained this
way.

OPERATING CONDITIONS
Environmental conditions: The machine needs to be installed inside a well lighted and aired building, on a
solid and levelled support. Temperatures from 41oF to 104oF (5°C to 40°C) with humidity not over 90%.
Lighting: The light at worker disposal has to be suitable to accomplish the performed work, should be in
accordance with regulations and sufficient to read the controls and danger signals. The light should not
obstruct the operator’s vision or impair it in any way.
Vibrations: Under proper conditions of use, vibrations are not strong enough to cause dangerous
situations
Sound emissions: 70 dbA during standard use
Electromagnetic environment: The machine is produced to work properly in an electromagnetic
environment of industrial type.
Environments exposed to the risk of explosion: an atmosphere open to be transformed in an
explosive atmosphere due to the local and/or working conditions is defined potentially
explosive atmosphere.
The machine has not been manufactured to work in environments with potentially explosive
atmospheres.

Control Arm dough should be achieved through gradual movement of this control. Trying to
achieve to thin of a pass abrubtly, will jam the machine and not produce the desired
results.
Thickness Level - These stops are used as guides to set the Thickness Regualtion Control Arm for a
Stops start and stop point for the desired thickness level.
Release Button - This releases the Thickness Regulation Control Arm so it can be moved back to
open the roller spacing.

ROUND PIZZAS AND IN PAN
To obtain a round-based pizza or a sheet for a rectangular pan, proceed with the sheeting by inserting on the
upper chute balls of leavened dough (1). For the first sheeting, keep the cylinders wider than the desired
thickness so not to overload use. The dough should be passed several times while making gradual
adjustments with the Thickness Control to the final desired thickness.
For the pans, lay one under the machine so to gather the dough after the last sheet comes out.
FRESH PASTRY DOUGH (USE OF ROLLING PINS)
For long sheets dough, the rolling pins are useful as described before. Continue with different turns being
careful to fold the dough on itself during the first sheeting to compact the mixture. When the sheeting
determines an excessive length not manageable by the hands,
use rolling pins as described.
To use the rolling pins, roll the sheet on the upper one (1),
leaving one part out to push along the sheeting cylinders.
When the dough is sheeted, make it go only one round on the
lower rolling pin (2), rest it on the forks allowing the dough to
be rolled automatically.

CLEANING and MAINTENANCE
Use a mild detergent and warm water to clean the outside of the T50, scrapers, upper chute and rolling pins.
Do not use direct spray or hose to wash this machine! Do not use liquids to clean the mats as they
will ruin the felt. The belt can be dusted with a soft bristle brush. It is a good idea to leave flour on the
mats to keep dough from sticking to the belt. Any damage as the result of water entering the unit due to
direct spray or immersion of the mats will void all warranties.
There is no need of any particular maintenance operation. All moving parts should be lubricated every 4 to 6
months. (use, for example BECHEM type BELORUB FB19). Keep the machine clean to avoid that any flour
deposits on the moving parts creating troublesome creaking and irregular wear and tear.
DO NOT CARRY OUT ANY MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING WITH THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT ON.
Scrapers cleaning
To take out the scrapers, disconnect the tension springs from the machine (1) and remove the front grid,
lifting the bolts (2).
Press the spring at the left end of the scraper (3) and extract the opposite end. Do the same for the scraper
inside
