SOMERSET CDR-1550 Front Operated Dough Roller

Specifications

Model: CDR-1550
Type: Front Operated Dough Roller
Manufacturer: Somerset Industries

Product Usage Instructions

Machine Installation

Cut off the fastener wrapped around the machine and the base.
Lift the machine straight up out of the wooden base.
Install the machine in its final position or temporarily secure it to a solid surface.
Wipe off any accumulated dirt using a soft cloth.
Check the nameplate for the correct voltage and frequency.
Plug the machine into the proper power source matching the nameplate requirements.

Machine Setup

The thickness of the final product is determined by the gap between the rollers.

Follow these steps

Ensure the top roll dial aligns with number 4 and the bottom roll dial aligns with number 2.
If adjustments are needed, manipulate both handles to achieve the desired thickness.
Remember to close and secure the safety cover when operating the machine.

Dough Preparation

Use dough at room temperature for best results.
The shape and size of the dough ball affect the finished crust – flatten round dough pieces slightly for round crusts.
Dust dough pieces with flour before feeding into the machine.

Operating Procedure

Dough passes through rollers: the first pair yields an oblong shape, and the second pair yields a round shape.
If necessary, dust discharge trays with flour for smooth movement.
If the dough tears or the machine makes a thumping sound, adjust the roller settings or allow the dough to rest if too cold/stiff.

Operation

Load dough into the chute for processing.
Ensure guards, safety covers, and scrapers are in place before operating.
Avoid putting your hands near or forcing dough into the chute by hand.
For elongated dough pieces, avoid rotating the dough during the second pass.

FAQ

Q: What should I do if the dough gets stuck in the machine?

If the dough gets stuck, stop the machine immediately, unplug it, and carefully remove the stuck dough following all safety precautions. Ensure the machine is powered off before attempting to clear any obstructions.
WARNING DO NOT CLEAN OR SERVICE THE MACHINE WITHOUT PRESSING THE RED BUTTON AND UNPLUGGING THE ELECTRICAL CORD FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
KEEP YOUR FINGERS AND HANDS FROM THE ROLLER AREA WHEN OPERATING OR SERVICING THE MACHINE.
DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE GUARDS IN PLACE. IF THE MACHINE KEEPS RUNNING WITH SAFETY GUARDS REMOVED, IMMEDIETLY PRESS THE STOP BUTTON AND REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER SOURCE. CALL THE FACTORY OR A QUALIFIED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE MACHINE UNTIL PERMITTED BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

MACHINE INSTALLATION

Cut off the Fastener wrapped around the machine and the base. Lift the machine straight up out of the wooden base.
Install the machine in its final position or temporarily secure it to a solid surface.
Wipe off any dirt that may have accumulated during shipping.
(Use a soft cloth) Check the nameplate for the correct voltage and frequency.
Plug the machine to the proper power source that matches the nameplate requirements.

For the machine to operate verify:

All scrapers are installed & secured properly.
The safety cover is closed & secured with two thumbscrews.
The emergency stop (E-Stop) is in RESET. (Turn clockwise to verify)
- Press the green button (start) switch and the machine will start.

MACHINE SET UP

The thickness of the final product is determined by the gap between the rollers.

Machines leaving the factory are adjusted as follows:

The top roll dial is aligned with the number 4.
The bottom roll dial is aligned with the number 2.
If these numbers are not correct or your product requires other adjustments, please make adjustments as follows.
Loosen the bottom clamping knob
Move the handle such that the dial points close to your desired line.
Tighten the clamping knob
You may adjust both handles in any direction to produce the final product thickness you require. Please note that the dial numbers are for reference only.
With very little practice, the rollers can be adjusted so that a perfectly round piece of dough can be made with no waste.
Make sure the safety cover is closed and secured by the two thumbscrews when operating the machine.
The machine will not operate when the cover is open or not secure.
Check that Emergency Stop is not pressed in.

DOUGH PREPARATION

For best results, the dough to be rolled should be at room temperature.
The size and shape of the dough ball affect the size and shape of the finished crust. For round crusts, take a round piece of dough and flatten it slightly.
Dust the dough pieces with flour before putting them in the machine.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

The dough comes through the first pair of rollers, oblong in shape, and from the second set of rollers round in shape.
The rollers are easily adjustable to any thickness of pizza dough or crust you may need.
For example, if making a 10” diameter of dough, set the top roller adjustment so that the dough comes out 10” long, and set the bottom roller adjustment so that it stretches to 10” in the other direction.
The machine has the most success by setting the dough thickness on the handles using a 2 to 1 ratio of the top and bottom roll settings. This setup will give you the most success in getting a perfectly round piece of dough
If the dough does not slide easily on the discharge trays, dust the trays with flour.
If the dough tears or the machine makes a thumping sound, this indicates that the dough is too thick to go through that particular setting of the rollers, which means your roller adjustment has to be opened more, or the dough is too cold and stiff and may require a longer rest period before use.

OPERATION

LOAD THE DOUGH INTO THE CHUTE
The dough is rolled through the first set of rollers, turn the elongated piece of dough ¼ of a turn, and at the same time push it back towards the second set of rollers.
The rounded piece of dough comes out on the discharge tray.

WARNING

Never operate the machine without the guards, safety cover, or scrapers in place!
Keep your hands and fingers away from the chute!
Never force the dough down into the chute with your hands!
TIP: If your application requires an elongated piece of dough, Do not rotate the dough for the second pass.

WARNING

Never operate the machine without the guards, safety cover, or scrapers in place!
Keep your hands and fingers away from the chute!
Never force the dough down into the chute with your hands!
If the dough gets stuck:

Press the red switch to stop the machine.
Open the safety cover.
Remove the dough

Use the EMERGENCY STOP (E-STOP) only for emergencies
Never use oil or grease on any of the mechanical parts of the machine

CLEANING

After all the Scrapers are removed:

Clean the rolls with a clean cloth
- DO NOT USE WATER WITH THE CLOTH
- APPLY A THIN FILM OF COOKING OIL WITH A CLOTH
Brush or wipe the sides of the machine and the trays
Clean all the scrapers and verify they are not worn
All beveled edges should be smooth and not knicked.
Install the scrapers in the opposite order of removal.
Close the safety cover and secure it with the two thumb screws.
Press the green start switch when the machine is ready to use.
- Equipment food-contact surfaces should be clean to sight and touch.
- Equipment food-contact surfaces should be sanitized.

Removing & Installing scrapers

CAUTION DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD OF THE MACHINE BEFORE

Open the safety cover by loosening the two thumb screws.
All scrapers are readily removable.

Scrapers # 1

#1 are located behind the rollers in the back of the machine.
This scraper should sit on top of the scraper pins and point between the middle and bottom rolls.
When springs are latched, the beveled side of the scraper will push up against the middle roll.

Scraper # 2 & 3

#2 & #3 attach. The #2 scraper lies on top of the scraper pins and the beveled edge pushes towards the top roll.
The springs from the #2 scraper attach to the #3 Scraper forcing the slots in the shaft to go inside the scraper pins.
The #3 beveled edge pushes against the middle roll and acts as a guard also.

Scraper # 4

#4 is located under the discharge tray and presses up against the bottom roll.
The slots on the scraper rest on top of the scraper pins pushing the plastic blade against the bottom roll.
The springs latch onto the slotted pins under the scraper pins.

Quick Tips & Troubleshooting

Never use the emergency stop as an on-and-off switch. The emergency stop is to be used only in emergencies.
Clean the rolls with a dry cloth. (NEVER USE WATER)
Install the scrapers in the opposite order of their removal.
Close the safety cover and secure it with the 2 thumb screws.
Turn the power ON, and the machine is ready to use.

If the machine does not start:

Check if the AC Power is available
Is the plug connected?
Make sure the cover is down securely
All scrapers are installed properly

If rolls ever start to squeal due to dryness, remove and clean the scraper blades thoroughly and rub the beveled edge with cooking oil, like vegetable or canola.
This technique will remove the squealing sound you get from friction between the roller and the dry scraper.

CAUTION

THIS MACHINE IS MAINTENANCE-FREE.
NEVER USE OIL OR GREASE ON ANY OF THE MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE MACHINE.
ALL MECHANICAL PARTS ARE PERMANENT SELF-LUBRICATED.
