CHANGE OF THE MOULD

The procedure for changing the mould is the following. Open the door of the guillotine, release the
safes of the subjecting pivots A (figure 4) and take them out of the hooks to release the mould from its
clicks. Pull the mould downwards, and then it will be free. Take it out and change it for a new mould,
for that, you will have to introduce the mould in its clicks, place the pivots and close the safes, like that,
the mould will be well secured.
Note: before starting the guillotine, it would be convenient to check if the new mould is well
regulated. (See next part)

REGULATION SLICE MOULD

For a correct cut of the mould, the mould should have been well situated respect to the surface
of the transportation band.
Trough the rebated B /figure 4) the axis of the cylinder; we can regulate the height of each one of the
extreme of the mould until it is completely in level with the transportation band and that there is a
thickness between the band and the guillotine equivalent to a fine paper.
If the cut is not uniform on all the thickness, we'll lower de side where it cuts less, until we get an equal
cut.
Note: depending on which type of mass we've to cut, the guillotine has to be lower, but always
be careful that it doesn't marc the transportation band.
