INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
We have detailed below how to use the "kneader-mixer" for the various kinds of products that are most commonly
prepared. If possible, meat should have been placed in a walk-in cooler for a minimum of 24 hours before
preparing it for sausages.
a. First, a product is minced and then sent to the kneader.
b. Spread the product around the entire container and add the paprika, salt or applicable spices.
c. Start the machine in the MIX position – paddle in reverse – for 30 seconds. Then stop the machine and reverse
the paddle direction, in other words, place the machine in the KNEADING position – paddle forward – for 30
seconds. Continuously alternate directions this way as needed to produce the correct kneading or mixing of the
mince that is being prepared.
As a guideline, we can indicate some processing times for a few products:
- from 3 to 4 minutes, alternately rotating the paddle in each direction, for sausage.
- from 4 to 6 for blood sausage.
- from 6 to 8 for loganiza or chorizo sausages.
- from 8 to 10 minutes for sobrasada sausage.
To empty the machine, first lift the container cover (B).
Pull the container locking slide (C), and then tip the container by pulling on its handle. Place a rectangular
container in front of the machine's bowl so that the product falls in the interior of the container by its own weight or
by helping it manually. If it is necessary to move the paddles in this situation, press the two buttons
simultaneously (except for the 20-litre kneader).
CLEANING
Make sure the kneader-mixer is unplugged from the mains before cleaning.
Put the paddles with the lateral scraper (E) in horizontal position, as shown in the picture below, then extract the
locking pin (F), pull the handle (G) all the way, and take out the paddles set from the mixing tank. Please, check
the following pictures:
Lateral scraper (E)
The cleaning will thus be easier. Use hot water, neutral soup and some pieces of cloths. It is also possible to
clean the tantk and the paddles with a preassure cleaner. Be sure not to apply pressure water directly into the
areas around the right and left axles, where the grease seal rings are located.
MAINTENANCE
Lubricate the rotation areas of both ends of the container (in the 40-litre model, only the left-hand side) using a
refined, non-toxic oil. For the 20-litre kneader, no type of lubrication is necessary.
REGULAR SAFETY CHECKING
Once a week, open the lid (B), tilt the tank (C) and push the two green buttons (D) at the same time, the machine
should turn on.
Once a week, check the red emergency button. The machine should stop, when pushin the emergency button.
Once a week, with the machine running, lift the lid (B) slowly (until 5 cm / 2 inches approximately) in order to
verify that the machine stops.
SOUND LEVEL
The weighted and continuous, equivalent acoustic pressure level "A" at the work station and with no load is a
maximum of 62 dB(A).
