Machine Operation

Intended Operation

This machine has been designed and manufactured for the final moulding of dough pieces for bread loaves, 1/2 baguettes, rolls etc with the use of two sets of stainless steel rollers to express air from the dough piece, moulding chain to form the dough into a cylinder and moulding belt and pressure plate to give the desired length of the final product and to seal the seam.

This machine has been designed and built to operate indoors.

Control Components

Fig 3.1 LRM-1 Control Components

When the red switch is pressed the power is turned off.
b| Lower roller adjustment wheel| Sets the gap between the lower rollers as determined by the operator.
c| Upper roller adjustment wheel| Sets the gap between the upper rollers as determined by the operator.
d| Emergency stop bar| When pressed it stops the machine completely.
e| Emergency stop button| When pressed it stops the machine completely.
f| Pressure Plate adjustment wheel| Adjusts the space between the moulding belts and pressure plate depending on the final length of the dough piece desired.

Moulder Operation

These operating procedures are to be used as a guide, as every bakeries dough consistency is different.

These steps should be used to set up the LRM to your specific product and by keeping records of the settings it will assist in the day to day operation of this machine, be aware though you may still need to fine tune the settings that you record as your dough can change i.e. longer than normal bench rest, or a slacker dough.

• Upper adjustment wheel (c) opens and closes the gap between the top set of rollers.
• Lower adjustment wheel (b) closes the gap between the second set of rollers.
• When setting the rollers up for the piece of dough you wish to put through, the top rollers should be slightly wider than the second set of rollers; this will ensure that all air is expressed from the dough.
• If the dough piece tears the rollers are to close, open rollers further until dough piece does not tear.
• If the dough piece is too lose and the finished baked product has air holes in it the rollers need to be brought in closer.
• Dough piece should be firm once through the rollers.
• The curling chain which lies on the top of the belt assists in forming the dough into the final shape prior to the dough piece dropping and going between the belt and the pressure board.
• If you wish to produce flat bread products the curling chain can easily be un-hooked from the front hangers while the machine is stopped and hung over the rear of the machine or removed and the flat dough pieces picked up off the belt.
• Pressure plate adjustment wheel (f) opens and closes the gap between the belt and pressure board.
• This board determines the final length of the product and helps seal the seam of the product.
• If your product is too long open the gap wider.
• If your product is too short the gap should be brought in closer.

Cleaning & Maintanance

Cleaning

• Always turn power off at the wall and unplug machine prior to cleaning or maintenance.
• This machine should be cleaned at the end of every day, to prevent a build up of dough crumb and flour dust.
