Cutting products 12. Cutting products 12.1. Before you start . . . Before putting the machine into operation, check the function of the safety buttons every day ! (chapter 8.2) If one of the safety covers is opened or removed during a cutting process, the machine is switched off automatically, and the knife comes to a standstill instantaneously! By this action, the knife may come to a standstill in the chamber.
Cutting products 12.4. Running the cutting program Place the product as described in chapter 12.3.1 Depending on the position of the ’LID START’ 3 switch:: – LID START OFF (lamp off): Press START button. The machine starts running! – LID START ON (lamp on): The machine starts upon closure of the replenishing cap.
Cutting products 12.6. The single-cut function The single-cut function has mainly two purposes: – cutting the product individually with different cutting thicknesses – interrupting a cutting process to cut, for example, a roast piece out of a cutlet section. Cutting a product piece individually: Open the infeed cover Insert cutting material and attach to the cutting material retainer.
Cutting products 12.7. Return travel limitation of the product feed holder Purpose: If a particular cutting programme is used always to cut short products (e.g. escalope), the return travel of the product feed holder in the infeed chamber can be limited. In this way, empty travels of the product feed holder can be avoided.
Cutting products 12.8. BRAKE RELEASE" push-button The key "loosen brake" is for fault clearance, if for instance the knife jams in the knife slot as a result of bone splinters, and for twisting the knife into a freely accessible position while exchanging the knife. If the knife jams in the shaft: Open the knife box door.
Cutting instructions 13. Cutting instructions 13.1. Types of knife available A wide selection of knives is available for the PUMA-CE. As a standard feature the machine is equipped with a “single knife” and a “double sickle-shaped knife”, if nothing to the contrary has been agreed upon when the machine is ordered.
Cutting instructions 13.2. Place the product properly ! Cutlets with rib bones Belly If possible, place the rib bones Place the belly as shown in the along the front wall of the infeed drawing. The rind must always chamber. be underneath. Other notes: –...
Cutting instructions 13.3. Cutting with or without counter-blade (For machines with a conveyor belt only) It is sensible to cut without a counter-blade when cutting thin slices (< 5 mm). This way the cut off slices are fanned out more precisely onto the conveyor belt.
After every cleaning process, inspect the knife shaft seal (arrowed) for visible damage. If it is damaged, have it replaced by the TREIF service engineer imme- diately ! For machines with a conveyor belt only !
Cleaning 14.1. Preparatory work for cleaning For machines with a conveyor belt only Disassemble the conveyor belt (cf. chapter 7.1.) No water may penetrate into the plug housing when cleaning the conveyor belt ! Remove conveyor belt (cf. chapter 7.3) Dismounting the holding appliance: Lift retainer away from the chamber wall slightly and pull back.
Page 64
Cleaning refer to chapter 14.1: Preparatory work for cleaning Removing the knife: Always wear the personal protective gear prescribed in the chapter " safety" when working in the open cutting range and when cleaning the knife! ! Loosen both hexagonal nuts by means of the provided ring spanner. Hold the knife with one hand and unscrew both nuts.
Cleaning 14.2. Instructions for cleaning In order to avoid damage to the machine and to guarantee a hygienic cleaning of the machine, cleaning has to be effected according to the cleaning, and disinfection plan listed below. The data in the cleaning plan refer to single-shift-operation ! ! Solely the specified and approved cleaning agents and disin- fectants may be used, in order to avoid damage to the machine.

Maintenance 15. Maintenance The function of the safety switches has to be verified after all maintenance and repair work (chapter 8.2) Carry out an operational check after every maintenance work. Being the buyer/operator, have the check-up work confirmed. In this way the adherence to the check-up work for safety and warranty reasons can be verified easier.
NOTE It is not possible to regrind serrated knives on site as special sharpening equipment is required for the purpose. Please get in touch with your dealer or directly with TREIF ! Please send your blunt cut-off knife to the following address with a note reading “for regrinding”:...
Maintenance 15.3. Greasing of the feed guide part The friction bearing of the feed guide part has to be greased every 40 operating hours. For this purpose use the grease gun supplied along with the machine. IMPORTANT: Move product feed holder into its furthermost, right-hand end position.
Maintenance 15.4. Adjustment of the counterblade ATTENTION: the counterblade is fragile. Do not drop it ! If a new counterblade is mounted for the first time, the gap to the non-cutting knife edge has to be set anew. Please proceed as follows: (knife has to be mounted previously) Set the main switch to “ON”.
Page 74
Maintenance ref. to chapter 15.4. Adjustment of the counterblade Undo collar nuts and disassemble the counterblade. Loosen both lock nuts on the back side of the counter-blade Preset hexagon head cap screws to a height of approx. 49 mm (Refer to measurement "X" drawing) Do not tighten lock nuts Fit the counterblade correctly, and use collar nuts to screw down.
Page 75
Maintenance ref. to chapter 15.4. Adjustment of the counterblade Readjust distance of the counter-blade Loosen both union nuts half a turn. Loosen hexagon head screw with washer and unscrew. Readjust the distance of the counter-blade via hexagon head screws . For this purpose, insert a screwdriver into the front end of the threaded hole (M6x8) and adjust both hexagon head screws to the desired degree.
Maintenance 15.5. Height adjustment of the counter-blade The height of the counter-blade can be adjusted to suit the respective cutting material, in order to attain a better cutting result Set the main switch to “ON”. Dismount conveyor when fitted. Open the knife box door. Press the ’Brake release’...
Maintenance 15.6. Retensioning the conveyor belt (only for machines with conveyor) If the conveyor belt moves lopsided or slips it must be retensioned as follows: Let the machine run in slow conveyor speed. For retensioning evenly turn the clamping screws (arrows) clockwise until the conveyor does not slip any more.
