The slicing machine has been designed and made according to the EEC directive 98/37 - 73/23 - 89/336 and the European norm EN 1974-1998.
The machine offers the user:
- Maximum security when in use, during cleaning and ordinary maintenance;
- Maximum hygiene from the use of inoxidizable materials or adequately protected against oxidization together with a careful design of all the parts that come into
contact with food;
- Maximum cutting precision and capacity together with sturdiness and reliability of the structure;
- The chance to work continuously.
The machine is essentially made up of a base that holds a circular blade that is vertically mounted or inclined, operated by an electric motor, which slices the food
and a sliding carriage on bars, placed under the above mentioned base, which in turn supports the food plate, parallel to the cutting edge of the blade.
The food plate, which in the vertical models is made up of a plate and a sliding overplate, also has an appropriate self-stopping device to keep the product in its
proper place during cutting operations (food press).
The thickness of the slice is regulated by a thickness plate behind the blade; this plate, on which the food ; is placed, can be moved transversally to the blade at
the thickness of the desired slice.
All the components of the machine are made of a light aluminium alloy and magnesium Peraluman 3, ’ polished and anodized, in stainless steel and plastic for food
products as according to the sanitary regulations in force so the structure is sturdy, reliable, easy to clean and does not alter in time.
The cutting blade is operated by a self-ventilated motor, under the base; the motor transmission is obtained with a belt that has longitudinal grooves, guaranteeing
a quiet running.
Starting and stopping is carried out by using the two buttons at the front of the machine which are easily identifiable by their colour and position; there is a light
which indicates the machine is running.
This command system prevents accidental starting of the machine after a possible electric circuit interruption; this means the slicing machine can only be re-
started intentionally.
The machine has a sharpener which is extremely easy and safe to use.
The food plate, transparent protections, sharpener and blade cover can be removed for cleaning.
4.3.1. Safety
The mechanical safety devices are the following:
- Irremovable safety ring around the blade (blade protection);
- Food plate which can only be removed if the regulating knob of the thickness plate is in the ’zero’ position and the carriage is at the end of its position on the
operator’s side;
Once the arm complete with food plate has been removed the thickness plate is locked in the above mentioned position;
- A set of aluminium and plastic transparent protections on the food plate.
The electric safety devices are the following:
- Start-up with start and stop buttons with a low tension control circuit that also requires a voluntary re-start of the machine in the case of an electric circuit
interruption;
- Safety microswitch on the low tension auxiliary control circuit which excludes any possibility of starting the electric motor without the blade cover.
4.3.2. Residual risks
WARNING: The safety ring around the blade is made according to the European regulation (EN 1974:1998) but this protection does not completely eliminate risks
in the sharpening area. When cleaning and sharpening the blade, be very careful and always concentrate on the job at hand. We recommend the use of protective
gloves.
4.3.3. Ergonomics
To avoid the risk of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) it’ important to ensure that the machine is placed on a surface which is ergonomically satisfactory to the user.
It’ recommended the frequent breaks are taken during prolonged usage.
