Deighton FORMATIC Instruction Manual 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
• Start the machine until two full forms are obtained
• Weigh the fully formed product and either increase or decrease the thickness until the
correct weight is achieved. This is done by removing the paper attachment cam/guard,
releasing the lock nut (item 1) and turning the spiral cam (item 2) the required amount.
• Re-tighten the lock nut and replace the paper attachment guard/cam and repeat procedure
until correct setting is achieved.
The machine is now ready to run.
Note; The scraper wire should be kept as clean as possible to aid the release of the product from
the drum. The manual scraping of the wire should be carried out in the part of the cycle when the
wire is away from the drum.
