MODEL TC700MC TENDERIZER MADE IN USA Ross Industries, Inc. Midland, Virginia 22728 Phone: (540) 439-3271 (800) 336-6010 Fax: (540) 439-2740 MN700-MC0010...
The magnets provide just enough force to drive the blades through the toughest meat, but no more. When a ROSS blade hits anything tougher than meat, the magnetic force is overcome and the individual blade simply stops trying to penetrate –...
Take a moment to note the areas on the machine where serious injury may occur if proper safety precautions are not adhered to. The ROSS Tenderizer has been carefully designed so that during normal use, the operator is never exposed to dangerous moving parts.
6) Sanitize entire machine using only neutral pH sanitizers. 7) Rinse machine and Blade Assemblies with clean hot water. 8) Liberally spray the Magnetic Head Plates, Blades, Guide Uprights, Main Uprights and Seals with ROSS 601 Oil. 9) Replace Blade Assemblies in machine. CAUTION: NEVER USE CAUSTIC CLEANING SOLUTIONS ON THE ROSS TENDERIZER.
1 SPECIFICATIONS R O S S P ERFO RM AN CE IN S TAI NL E SS WEIGHT 1000 pounds SIZE Length: 52”; Width: 24”, Height: 62” ELECTRICAL Voltage: The 700MC can be supplied to operate from any of the standard world wide three phase power system supplying from 208 to 575 volts.
2 DESCRIPTION 2.1 MECHANICAL When the 700MC is turned on with the guard(s) in the closed position, the head assembly reciprocates. The conveyor advances when the blades are fully retracted at the top of each stroke. The meat to be tenderized is simply placed on the conveyor. The powered conveyor advances the product under the blades.

disconnect switch (S1) to the line terminals L1, L2 and L3 of the motor starter (K1) and to terminals 3, 4, and 5 of the phase sensor. A single-phase connection from the incoming power is applied to the primary of the control transformer (T1) through fuses F2 and F3.
3 INSTALLATION 3.1 UNCRATING The 700MC Tenderizer is shipped in an enclosed crate. The Tenderizer is supported by a wooden skid with wooden framing at the ends of the cabinet. The overall assembly is covered with clear polyethylene film and placed in a complete wooden crate. Prior to uncrating the Tenderizer, inspect the condition of the packing material;...
move the Tenderizer by pushing or pulling on the guard assembly can result in misalignment of the guards. This can result in the safety switches being inoperative, which would prevent the Tenderizer from operating. 3.3 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS The Model 700MC Tenderizer can be supplied to operate from any of the standard world wide three phase line voltages.
NOTE - Always turn the main power switch OFF before connecting the machine to a power source. If the machine is plugged in with the main power switch ON and the head adjusting motor operating, the primary transformer fuses may blow. This is due to the high magnetizing in-rush current of the transformer added to the reflected starting load of the motor 3.4 POWER PHASING As with all three-phase motors, the phase sequence of the incoming power determines the direction of...

6 OPERATION 6.1 MACHINE OPERATION NOTE: The 700MC Tenderizer will not operate unless the safety guard is closed. Once the Tenderizer has been correctly installed and properly phased, the operation is extremely simple. A. Connect the line cord to a suitable source of power. B.
E. Sanitize blade assembly (maximum time in sanitizer 5 minutes). F. Blow dry blade assembly. 6. Oil blade assembly with Ross 601 white mineral oil (or equivalent) paying particular attention to the tops of the blades and magnetic head plates.

12. Reinstall the Reset Plate and fasten with the original acorn nuts and washers. Tighten to a torque of 50 ft lbs. 13. After every cleaning, spray the blade assemblies, tops of the blades, main uprights and guide uprights with ROSS 601 white mineral oil (or equivalent). MN700-MC0010...
7.2 LUBRICATION DAILY OR AFTER EVERY CLEANING The magnetic head plates, tops of the blades, blade assemblies, main uprights and guide uprights should be sprayed with Ross 601 white mineral (or equivalent). EVERY 200 HOURS OR ONCE EVERY MONTH CRUSHING HAZARD TAG OUT, LOCK-OUT POWER.
To add oil, remove the plug on the top of the transmission and fill with USP extra-heavy white mineral oil (Ross Oil No. 15040014, or Exxon Primol 355, or equivalent) until oil level is even with the oil level plug.
7.3.2 HEAD HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (blade-to-belt clearance) The blade to conveyor clearance has been set at the factory and should not change as a result of normal use. Although unlikely to occur, there are several reasons why this mechanism may need to be checked or adjusted: •...
switch to the STD setting and observe blade to belt clearance when the head stops its’ travel. Re-adjust if necessary. The adjustable main upright(s) (p5-11, item 44) should never thread too far into the elevator nut(s) (p5-8, item 7). There should always be 2 to 4 threads showing in the STD position. CRUSHING HAZARD TAG OUT, LOCK-OUT POWER.
After the head height has been set correctly, the clearance between the tops of the blade assemblies, (p5-3, item 6), and the reset pad, (p5-2, item 2), should be checked. To do this, run the head assembly to the top of the stroke. Open the pivoting guard, (p5-1, item 1), and look for a space between the blade assembles tops and the bottom of the reset pad.

I. Replace unlock cushion J. Make sure that the guide raisers (page 5-10, item 18), on the main uprights, are seated all the way down on the stabilizer bars and spacers (page 5-11, items 29,30) K. Make sure toggle assembly is centered on toggle rod. L.
