5 Transport and installation instructions Consignment Start-up The mobile machine must be placed on an even surface (do not use on sloping surfaces). Leave enough space around the machine for the provision and infeed of fruit blocks as well as for the container catching the singulated products.
6 Operation Preparing the machine The machine must be prepared for the fruit to be processed. Ensure that the machine is switched OFF. Open the declumper hood: pull the handle and swing the hood to the side. Fig. 11: Opening the hood Fig.
Insert the perforated plate into its frame. Ensure that the right side faces up. The hole size should comply with that of the declumped fruit pieces. Fig. 14: Inserting the perforated plate Place the spiral separator on the upper end of the drive shaft. The bayonet lock lobes must snap into place.
Adjust the distance and orientation of the four scrapers on the scraper unit. The distance between scrapers and perforated plate should roughly comply with the size of the singulated fruit pieces. The spiral separator indicates the direction of rotation which needs to be observed for scraper adjustment. The stud screws can be loosened and tightened with the key in the accessories kit.
NOTE! • Ensure that all screws on the scrapers sit tight and that the scrapers do not rub against the wall! Fig. 22: Scraper Instead of the scraper unit and the perforated plate, a second spiral separator can be mounted on the bottom of the machine.
Fruit processing 1. Start the machine. 2. Place a container suitable for collection of the singulated fruit products under the declumper. 3. Unpack the products (fruit) for declumping. 4. Remove the packaging material (e.g. plastic bag). 5. Lift the chute with the handle and slide the block into the machine. Fig.
7 System maintenance Cleaning Switch the machine off and unplug the power cable. To remove the plastic plate for cleaning, block the loading device with the hook to prevent it from springing back. Fig. 25: Locking the chute Lift the plastic plate through the oval openings from below, pull out from above. Fig.
In case of narrow distances to the scrapers, rotate the scraper unit until it is positioned transversely to the machine rotation direction. Very small distances may require raising of the scrapers to allow removal of the perforated plate. : Scraper unit placed transversely to the plate Fig.
8 Troubleshooting Delivered fruit too big - fruit not completely declumped. The scraper distance might be too big. Reduce the distance. Ensure that the outer scrapers push the fruit towards the center. Delivered fruit too small - fruit crushed or cut. The scraper distance might be too small.
NOTE! The rear door must not be opened when the chute is open! • If these measured do not help or in case of malfunctions not described in this manual, please contact the Brunner-Anliker Service Line.
