General rules for the operation of mechanical equipment. Persons who are well acquainted with their device, operating rules and who have been instructed in safety are allowed to use machines and mechanisms. Getting started, you need to make sure that the equipment is in good sanitary condition:

1. Visually check the chassis grounding (grounding
the wire must be firmly tightened at one end with a bolt labeled "Earth", and the other end must be securely connected to the ground loop);

2. Make sure that there are guards, removable parts of the machine, good sanitary condition of the working chamber;

3. Check the serviceability of the starting equipment, engine and gearbox by turning on the machine to idle. At the same time, attention should be paid to the absence of increased engine hum (which indicates phase failure), extraneous noise and knocking in the gearbox (which indicates breakage of gear teeth, old grease). In case of any malfunction, the machine is turned off and a mechanic is called;

4. For universal drives, check the direction of rotation of the shaft with the direction of the arrow on the housing. If the drive is in good condition, then it is necessary to check the correct assembly and the sanitary condition of the replaceable mechanism and firmly fix it in the neck of the drive;

5. In dough sheeters, bread slicers, cutters, check the serviceability of the electric lock by raising the grate (lid) by 5-6 °. If the engine turns off, the lock is good;

6. Adjust the machines for the thickness of the cut, the thickness of the rolling, the degree of grinding, set the rotation speed of the drive shaft, etc.;

7. Prepare raw materials and containers for the processed product;

8. Machines can only be loaded on the move so as not to overload the engine and cause it to fail (with the exception of beaters, cutters, dough mixers, batch dishwashers);

9. During the operation of the equipment, it is forbidden to leave the machine unattended; until the engine stops completely - remove replacement parts, troubleshoot, remove a jammed product; violate the terms for changing the lubricant in the gearbox, motor bearings, which can cause the gearbox to shift and burn the windings; push the product with your hands, lower your hands into the camera;

10. When sanitizing washing, cleaning, sulphating and other machines, water must not be allowed to enter the electric motor, as this may cause short circuit;

11. Using the KNA-600M continuous potato peeler, it is necessary to periodically update the working surface of the rollers with a special brush;

12. Strictly monitor the cleanliness of the body of the sulphation machine, as the sodium bisulfite solution corrodes the paint and lining,

13. In vegetable cutting machines and mechanisms, having adjusted the thickness of the cut, you must first install the working body on the shaft, and then attach the loading device. (The exception is two vegetable cutters - MRO-400-1000, in which the drum with the rotor is first attached, and then the necessary knife block, and MS-28-100, where the working chamber with the loading pipe is first installed on the guides, then the knife grill and everything is fixed nuts). Using the MOP-11-1 vegetable cutter for cutting raw vegetables, the drive must be turned on to the second speed, and for boiled vegetables - to the first;

14. Be careful when operating vegetable cutters, meat grinders, rippers, mashers and other machines so that your hands do not get under knives, milling cutters or other rotating tools;

15. When using meat grinders, it is necessary to monitor the correct and timely sharpening of knives, lapping of knives and grates and the degree of their pressing when screwing the nut (after assembling the meat grinder, unscrew the nut half a turn, then, turning on the engine, manually tighten it until it stops);

16. When working on the beaters, you must not take samples on the go, add products (if there is no cover with a tray), remove tanks or a beater, change the speed of the working shaft (if there is no variator or blocking);

17. Strictly observe the bowl loading rate so as not to damage the electric motor: when kneading tough dough, the bowl is loaded by 50%, and when kneading batter - by 80%. You can’t roll the bowl on the go, add food and take samples;

18. During the operation of dishwashers, do not open the doors of the working chamber, so as not to burn yourself with steam. When sanitizing machines, it is necessary to clean and rinse hot water nozzles for washing and rinsing showers, filter trays and pump filters;

19. After work, any machine should be turned off, disassembled, cleaned of the product, and working tools and the chamber should be washed with hot water (except for grinding mechanisms), dried and collected. The body of the machine should be wiped with a damp cloth;

20. During the operation of the equipment, it is necessary to sharpen working tools in a timely manner, change the lubricant in gearboxes and bearings (according to the instructions), check the tension of drive chains and belts, fix loose threaded connections, change various seals, monitor the serviceability of valves and control devices.

EQUIPMENT FOR CUTTING BREAD AND GASTRONOMICAL PRODUCTS

BREAD CUTTING MACHINES

Bread slicers are designed for cutting bread into slices of a given thickness. Currently, catering establishments use machines for cutting bread MPX-200 and XPM-300M.

Bread-cutting machine MRH-200(Fig. 7.1) consists of the following parts and mechanisms: a frame, a body 4, a drive, a loading 5 and a receiving 1 tray, a cutting mechanism 6, feed mechanisms, cutting thickness control, a grinding device 2 and a push-button panel 3. circular knife equipped with a counterweight. In the lower part of the case on both sides there are two windows: for feeding bread to the knife and for exiting sliced ​​bread slices.

The drive of the machine consists of an electric motor, V-belt and chain drives. It provides the planetary movement of the knife and the supply of bread to the zone of its rotation. For manual control of the knife, the machine is equipped with a special handle mounted on the left side of the body.

The feed mechanism consists of a running shaft and a carriage with needle grippers for bread. During operation of the machine, the running shaft with the help of a connecting rod and a coupling rotates only in one direction, ensuring that the carriage with bread is fed to the left, into the zone of rotation of the knife.

The cut thickness mechanism consists of a disc with divisions of the cut thickness and a shaped fastening nut. The cutting mechanism is a knife disk that has a planetary motion, as it rotates around its own axis.

Rice. 7.1. Bread-cutting machine MRH-200:

1 - receiving tray; 2 - grinding device; 3 - push-button panel; 4 - body; 5 - loading tray; 6 - cutting mechanism

The machine is equipped with a grinding device, which serves to sharpen the knife disk and consists of two carborundum grinding disks.

The sharpening device is located in the upper outer part of the bread slicer. There are also two buttons connected to two scrapers, which are placed inside the machine body. When you press the buttons, the scrapers are pressed on both sides of the knife disk and clean it of adhering bread.

When the machine stops, the braking device is automatically activated, which dampens the inertial moment of the disc knife after the machine is turned off.

An electric lock turns off the machine after the end of cutting bread and an open protective grill and if the receiving tray is not in the right extreme position. To turn on and stop the machine, a push-button switch with "Start" and "Stop" buttons is installed.

The principle of operation of the MRH-200 bread-cutting machine. When the machine is turned on, the rotation from the electric motor through the V-belt and chain transmission is transmitted to the main shaft, and from it to the running shaft and the disk knife. When cutting bread, the knife disk makes planetary motion. The running shaft transmits intermittently progressive motion to the carriage, in which, with the help of a needle gripper, the bread is fed to the knife. Thus, the bread is fed to the knife at the moment when it is in the upper position. During cutting, the bread is stationary. The cut pieces are collected in the receiving tray and then fed into the prepared container.

Specifications bread cutting machine MPX-200

The XPM-300M bread-slicing machine differs from the MPX-200 machine in that it does not have a protective grill and a safety device on the loading and unloading trays.

Rules for the operation of the bread-cutting machine MPX-200. The bread cutting machine is installed on the desktop and connected to the mains using a plug connector. Before starting work, the machine is inspected, its condition is checked and the engine shaft is released by turning the brake handle counterclockwise until it stops. Then they check the machine at idle and set the thickness of the sliced ​​bread, for which they loosen the shaped nut and turn the dial with divisions to the desired size of the thickness of the slices of bread. After that, tighten the shaped nut. As a rule, a slice thickness of 15 ... 16 mm is used for bread. Then, opening the protective grille and moving the carriage to the right position, fix the bread on it, lower the protective grille, press the "Start" button. After the machine is turned on, bread is cut and, as soon as the carriage with bread takes the leftmost position, the carriage travel limiter will press the “Stop” button, the machine’s engine will turn off and the electric brake will turn on at the same time. After stopping the machine, raise the guard rail, move the carriage to the right along the tray, put in the bread, close the grill and continue cutting bread. When working on the machine, you must follow safety precautions, do not push the bread with your hand through the window and do not speed up the unloading of bread, as you can injure hands of attendants.

Table 7.1. Possible malfunctions of sky cutting machines, their causes and solutions

The quality of cutting bread depends on the condition of the blade disc. Blunting it or sticking pieces of bread to it worsens the quality of cutting and increases product losses. Therefore, the circular knife is sharpened or cleaned daily from the remnants of bread. For sharpening, the circular knife is set to the upper position, the counterweight is fixed with a locking screw and the grinding device is rotated 180 ° so that its grinding wheels are located on both sides of the knife.

Then, the knife manual control handle is released from the machine body, rotating it in the direction of the arrow indicated on the machine body, the circular knife is sharpened.

To periodically clean the knife from bread, you need to simultaneously press the two scraper control buttons while rotating the handle of the disk knife. The scrapers, pressing against the rotating knife disk from both sides, will clean it from the adhering crumb of bread.

After finishing work on the machine, it is turned off and disconnected from the mains, cleaned of bread crumbs with a special tool and wiped with a dry cloth.

Some possible faults arising during the operation of machines for cutting bread, their causes and remedies are presented in Table. 7.1.

In the arsenal of bakeries and catering establishments, even the smallest ones and cafeterias, there are always various electrical and mechanical equipment necessary to facilitate the work of personnel and accelerate production process.

One of these devices, which is suitable for canteens, fast food chains, cafes, restaurants, snack bars, bakeries and bakeries, is a bread slicer.

Industrial bread slicers are electromechanical devices for cutting into pieces of the same thickness of any kind and variety of bread and bakery products.

  • cut into soft warm bread or bread with a crust in equal slices 6-15 mm thick in 5-6 seconds;
  • quickly make blanks for toast or crackers;
  • facilitate and streamline the work of bakers and cooks.

Main types

There are two types of industrial bread slicers: desktop and floor. Models differ in technical and design features, as well as additional functions.

Desktop appliances are designed for small cafes, canteens or restaurants. On such equipment, you can cut from 200 to 300 loaves of bread per hour.

For large restaurant chains, large industrial canteens, buffets and bakeries, outdoor equipment is more suitable, on which from 800 to 1,300 loaves or loaves can be cut per hour.

Bread slicers can be with manual, semi-automatic and automatic control.

In machines with a manual type of control, workers must independently load the bread and select the required thickness of the slices. Depending on the model, loading can be rear or front.

In semi-automatic devices, it is only necessary to manually load bread, all other functions are performed automatically by the bread slicer.

The operation of automatic equipment does not require the participation of workers. A number of models of such equipment are equipped with a function of lubricating the knives with special oil and an intelligent cutting system that allows the machine to control the pressure of the knives depending on the type of bread being cut.

How is a bread slicer

Bread slicers consist of a drive, start and block units, compartments for loading, receiving, cutting and feeding, as well as removable knives that can be sharpened or replaced if necessary.

In machines for cutting bakery products, there can be tape, frame, sickle-shaped or circular knives.

Tape knives rotate in one direction and practically do not deform the loaf when cutting, so it is convenient to cut hot bread on such equipment. Bread slicers with band knives are the most expensive equipment.

Frame knives are attached to the frame, which consists of two parts rotating in different directions. Bread in such devices falls on the knives under the influence of its own gravity, automatic or manual feed, and then cut into identical pieces. In order to change the thickness of the pieces, it is necessary to change the frame.

Models with adjustable sickle-shaped knives are slightly less productive than the rest. Such bread slicers work according to the following principle: the knives cut the bread, and the machine pushes it further.

Bread slicers equipped with serrated blades offer excellent performance and functionality. Such equipment is fully electronic and is equipped with an additional packaging function.

To cut a loaf of bread or a loaf into equal slices of a given thickness, they should be placed in the loading tray, and then turn on the slicer.

All models of modern bread slicers operate silently.

The equipment is insulated for the protection and safety of workers, it is quite easy to use and does not require special care.

In order to learn how to operate the machine, workers will not be required to special knowledge or skills.

How to choose quality equipment

The main criterion to be guided by when choosing a bread slicer is the enterprise itself and its size.

In large bakeries and bakeries, it is more expedient to purchase automatic floor bread slicers with program control and a set additional features, including intelligent cutting, feed rate adjustment, product packaging system, air injection to open bags, crumb collection compartment.

For canteens, restaurants, cafes, food factories and bakeries of medium and small sizes, semi-automatic and manual tabletop equipment is perfect. The choice of model will depend on production volumes, traffic and serving requirements.

So that the bread does not stick to the knives when cutting, preference should be given to models whose knives are coated with Teflon.

Apart from design features, attention should be paid to appearance bread slicer and its manufacturer.

Operating principle: a loaf of bread is fixed with a fork in the carriage, the thickness of the slices is set; lower the safety grill and start the machine. The carriage with bread moves towards the knife, at the moment when the knife cuts the bread the carriage stands, when the knife is in the highest position, the carriage takes a step equal to the thickness of the slice. At the end of cutting, the machine automatically turns off. Raise the grate and manually move the carriage to its original position.


To sharpen a knife: the machine is turned off when the knife is in its highest position, its edge is visible in the upper part of the working chamber, the sharpening device is installed so that the knife is between two grinding discs. Turn off the machine through the plug and manually turn the knife using the handle.

To clean the crumbs from the knife: in the upper part of the working chamber there are scrapers with buttons. Scrolling the knife by hand, press the buttons, the scrapers are pressed against the knife and clean it of crumbs.

Operating rules:

Before work: checking sanitation, technical condition bread slicers, grounding, sharpness of the knife (strip of paper). Prepare the product for cutting. Bread over 1 kg is cut in half. Prepare trays for sliced ​​bread.

During work: set the thickness of the cut, monitor the quality of the cut and take the carriage to its original position after cutting.

It is strictly prohibited: during work, correct the knife and clean it from crumbs.

Problem situations

After work: disconnected from the mains through the plug connector, the electric motor is braked. Carry out sanitation.

Bread slicers (bread slicers) are designed for cutting loaves, shaped, hearth bread into slices of various thicknesses. Bread slicing machines are widely used in catering establishments, bakeries.

Bread slicers are divided according to the principle of operation, productivity and the shape of the knives:

1. Bread slicing machines of periodic and continuous action (with a horizontal or inclined pickup table),

2. Bread slicers with rotary and reciprocating blades.

Industrial bread slicers have high productivity. This machine can cut up to 300 loaves in one hour.

Slicers

Slicers are widely used in public catering establishments, in procurement enterprises, in supermarkets.

Slicer - compact electromechanical slicing machine gastronomic products, bread, meat for steaks, fish fillet etc.

Slicers can be with automatic, semi-automatic and fully mechanical control.

Automatic slicers. AT production shops large enterprises install, as a rule, automatic slicers with program control. The product is held by two clamping devices, and the carriage reciprocates. In practice, such slicers are often included in a production line: the product is cut, placed in trays, packaged with film, a label with a barcode is pasted, and the product is ready for display on the showcase.

Semi-automatic slicers are the most popular type of slicers. In these models, the drive turns the circular knife, the product is pressed by a special device, and the carriage is manually directed towards the knife and back.

Mechanical slicers (rare models). Hand-assembled units with articulated carriage, handwheel and extended console. Both restored and newly created models are presented on the market. In addition to their main function, these slicers can decorate any room.

The body of the slicer is made of stainless steel or anodized aluminum.

Dishwashers

Dishwasher - electromechanical installation for automatic washing of dishes. It is used both in catering establishments and at home. The dishwasher is connected to electricity, plumbing and sewerage.

Training. Dishes are placed in baskets and trays designed for dishes different types. The washing program is selected. Detergent (powdered or tableted) is loaded into special containers, or a concentrated washing liquid designed specifically for dishwashers is supplied.

Soak. As with hand washing, soaking is good for removing dried-on or burnt-on food fragments. Dishes are splashing cold water with little (or no) detergent and left for a while. Subsequently, when washing, soaked residues are removed much easier.

Washing. The process proceeds as follows: water of the required temperature (depending on the selected washing program) with detergent under pressure is sprayed in thin streams by rotating sprayers on the dishes both from below and (depending on the model) and from above, washing off food residues and grease.

Rinsing. At the end of the washing procedure, several rinse cycles take place clean water with the addition of a rinse aid, thanks to which no traces of dried water drops remain on the dishes after drying.

Drying. Then, if the machine has a drying function, the dishes are dried. This happens either with the help of a stream of hot air (less common), or by the method of moisture condensation. The last method is implemented as follows. During the last rinse of the dishes, the water (and, as a result, the dishes themselves) is heated. Then the water is removed, and the cooling walls of the machine condense on their inner surfaces the moisture evaporating from the hot dishes. The latter flows down the walls into a common drain.
