-provide for sufficient lighting of the machine and the area of handling of at least 150 lux,
-machine operators should wear a tight fitting clothing, long hair should be tied together with
a rubber band and during work you should not wear necklaces, neckties and the like.
-ensure that work with the machine does not compromise the safety of anyone in the area, and
that there are no children in the vicinity,
-ensure that the surrounding of the workplace are tidy and that no other items are stored there.
The selected materials and machine components that come in direct contact with the juice are in
accordance with the Order on machinery safety, Annex I, item 2.1 –Machines for the processing of
agricultural and foodstuff products.
Operating procedure –pressing
-set up the press correctly, blocking the brakes on the transport wheels and prepare it for use (according
to the instructions before first and each use),
-before starting to fill the basket (edge perforated sheet), unscrew the air-vent screw and the threaded
nut and remove the press cover,
-place the press basket in the centre of the collecting container, directly in the centring ring, which is
welded to the collecting container and fasten it with tensioners,
-fill the container (circular space) between the pressure membrane and the press basket with crushed
fruit. You must be careful that the mass is evenly distributed, since otherwise it can result in the damage
to the press and injuries to the user,
-during filling, the discharge channel from the collecting container should be opened, otherwise the
capacity of the press can be reduced,
–always fill the press to the top (the farthest edge of the basket),
-put the cover on the threaded spindle so that it fits tightly (along the entire perimeter) on the basket,
-secure the cover by screwing the threaded nut onto the threaded spindle,
–never tighten the threaded nut using tools such as various levers, but tighten it only by using
hand force,
–connect a hose on the water inlet ball valve (Figure 2, Chapter IV) and connect it to the water
distribution system on the other side, close the water discharge ball valve and partially tighten the air-
vent screw at the top of the threaded spindle,
–by opening the water inlet ball valve, you start the pressing procedure,
-the membrane of the press is filled for a while, then you will notice the water drain on the air-vent,
then screw (close) it completely,
-increased pressure will generate in the system that can be observed on pressure gauge readouts,
-if the pressure exceeds the value of 3.0bar, the safety valve will open and some water will flow out of
the system,
-by closing and opening the water inlet pipe, you can avoid the drainage of water from the system
through the safety valve by continuously monitoring the pressure level in the system on the pressure
gauge,
-after the pressing procedure is completed, the press is relieved by closing the water inlet pipe, and
then you open the discharge ball valve on the set and the bleed valve on the threaded spindle,
