Commissioning; Operation - IMC SP12 Installation And Operating Manual

WARNING: 1-phase machines should not be PAT tested under any
circumstances.
They contain an inverter (motor drive) which can be damaged by the test and the
test results will be invalid anyway. This advice is in accordance with standard
practice within the industry and is due to the inductive/capacitive components used
within the inverter. If in doubt please contact IMC Service Department.

COMMISSIONING

After making the electrical connection, switch on the machine, and check that the
direction of rotation of the peeling plate is CLOCKWISE when viewed from above.
The direction of rotation of single phase units is set at the factory. If it is not
rotating in the correct direction contact IMC. To change the direction of rotation of
three phase units, switch off the machine, isolate the supply and interchange any
two phase wires.

OPERATION

1 Fit the peeling plate, ensuring that it is properly located on the drive shaft.
2 Measure out the potatoes into a container which holds a known measured
weight of 12kg or 25kg depending on machine size. Check for stones which
could damage the abrasive. Should this happen, the noise will indicate the
presence of stones. Switch off immediately and remove them. The top of
the liner can also be used as a maximum loading line.
3 Set the run time required on the control panel - two minutes is normally
more than adequate – or select manual operation, and press the green start
button. Turn on the water supply.
4 Ensure that the chute discharge door is closed.
5 Load the potatoes into the peeler and place the splash cover onto the top of
the cylinder.
6 The machine is now operating. Remove the splash cover to check the
progress of peeling process.
7 The peeler can be stopped at any time by pressing the Stop button, or it will
stop on completion of a timed cycle.
8 Turn off the water supply, open the chute door and while keeping the door
open, press the Start button to evacuate the potatoes, press the Stop button
when the peeler is empty.
9 Keep the peeled potatoes under water until required for cooking.
ON NO ACCOUNT put a hand or implement into the machine, or
wedge the door open while discharging.
