Page 3: Introduction
Encompassing Retail, Commercial and Industrial sized models, the range has been designed to accommodate the needs of both high and low volume producers. Simplicity is the strength of the Formatic system. Suited to a variety of mixtures of numerous textures and consistencies, the formatic uses synchronised paddles to gently press mixture into the required form shape. -

- Page 8 Manufacturing Ltd. Before Operating the machine:- Remove any packaging material Position the Formatic relative to any other equipment it is to connect with. Connect the machine to the correct supply. Step 1; Locate the selected drum onto the drive shaft ensuring that the keyways are aligned and push the drum completely home (if the form is not at the top you may need to lift the ejector set over the cam).
- Page 9 Step 2; Locate the conveyor platform onto the pivot shaft positioned to the bottom left of the drum. Slip the conveyor belt onto the nylon drive roller and around the platform nose roller, with the platform rotated to the 10 o’clock position. Set the platform down so that it rest on the round conveyor stop and lock in place using the hand knob provided.

Page 10: Operating The Machine
(4) OPERATING THE MACHINE Connect up to the supply and press the green start button. The form drum conveyor and hopper paddles should rotate smoothly and quietly (if a foot switch is fitted this will need depressing to operate). If any safety interlock is not in place the machine will not operate. Relocate the interlock and press the green start button to operate. - Page 11 To adjust the thickness and weight of the finished product (the variation available being between 6mm and 34mm, approximately 3 – 8 oz) use the following routine. • Approximately half fill the hopper with the mix to be used, checking it’s suitability •...
- Page 12 Generally the size of the paddles should balance with the size of the product being formed i.e., small paddle combination for a small product. Deighton Manufacturing will supply the machine with a series of paddles suitable for the mix being used and the form sizes being created however you can obtain various sizes and...
- Page 13 If a mix is sticking to the hopper a causing a ‘tunnelling’ effect a knockdown paddle can be supplied to release the product from the hopper and push it into the path of the pressure paddles. If, in the unlikely event, problems still occur in filling and forming it may be necessary to modify the mix slightly to achieve the desired results.

Page 14: Cleaning
(5) DISMANTLING AND CLEANING Please ensure the machine is disconnected from the mains supply before proceeding to clean. Dismantle the machine in the reverse order to assembly. Wash all parts with hot water (at a temperature no greater than 60 c) before the product has a chance to dry. -
Page 15: Safety
(6) SAFETY 1. Always disconnect mains supply before servicing, cleaning or changing the drum 2. Disconnect mains supply when removing drum and guard 3. The machine should not be run when the drum guard is removed 4. During operation the hopper guard can be opened to refill. This will automatically stop the machine 5. -
Page 16: Maintenance
(7) MAINTENANCE The only maintenance that is required is a light oiling (food lube) of the form drum mechanism and scraper shaft after cleaning. The most beneficial thing to extend the life of the machine is; • Keep it clean and dry when not in use •... -
Page 17: Optional Extras
(8) OPTIONAL EXTRAS Hoppers As well as the standard hopper supplied with the machine several other hopper options are available for all the range of Formatics. Low Level Hopper Generally used for delicate mixes where the product quality can deteriorate when over mixed by the paddles. - Page 18 75 Litre Hopper Used in large batch production to reduce the frequency of refilling 200 Litre Hopper Again used in very large production to reduce frequency of refilling. Can be filled using a 200kg bin lift.
- Page 19 We can also supply a ‘gooseneck’ or ‘funnel’ feeder for the standard, low level and extended hoppers. These enable the machine to be continually filled whilst in operation. Conveyors The Formatic machines come supplied with a standard length conveyor (length varies depending on model). Also available are extended and jointed conveyors. Retail Formatic;...

Page 20: Auto Wire Clean
Mainly used in the meat industry when there is a requirement to put paper interleaves between formed products. The papers (which can also be supplied by Deighton Manufacturing) are loaded onto a cartridge and then released onto the base of the formed product before been ejected onto the conveyor. -
