Ⅱ-2、Function of a meat cutter:
Slicing cheese/slicing meat/cutting steak
Ⅲ、How to operate the meat cutter
Ⅲ-1、Instructions for the Control Panel:
As shown in Figure 1 above:
① Power indicator light: It stays on when the power is turned on. If it doesn't light up, it means the machine is not powered on or the indicator light is damaged.
② Operation/Alarm indicator light: It stays on when the machine is running and is off when the machine is on standby. It flashes when the inlet hopper cover, outlet hopper cover, and cutting hopper cover are opened.
③ Conveyor belt speed adjustment knob: Adjusts the speed of the conveyor belt motor.
④ Stepping mode: The material pushing mode is the stepping mode. It features a stable pushing speed and is suitable for precise cutting requirements.
⑤ Portioning mode: The material pushing mode is the stepping mode. The gripper will push according to the portion setting on the touch screen. After completing one stage of pushing, it will stop for a certain period and then continue pushing. The stop time can be set on the touch screen.
⑥ Continuous mode: The material pushing mode is the continuous mode. It features a fast pushing speed and stable thrust, and is suitable for cutting with large size requirements and cutting without precision requirements.
⑦ Manual forward movement of the gripper: The gripper moves forward in a jogging manner, which is used to adjust and push the material to an appropriate position.
⑧ Manual backward movement of the gripper: The gripper moves backward in a jogging manner, which is used to adjust and push the material to an appropriate position and to manually return the gripper to the starting point.
⑨ Jogging of the cutter: The cutter rotates 1 to 2 circles, and the gripper does not operate. It is used for trial operation or leveling of the first and last materials.
⑩ Start: Starts the machine.
⑪ Stop/Position memory:
● Stop function: Press the button, and the machine will stop working immediately.
● Position memory function: Before starting the machine, use ⑦ or ⑧ to adjust the gripper to any position in the inlet hopper. Press the stop button, and the current position will be automatically memorized. After starting and completing the cutting, the gripper will retreat to this position. Until the next stop button is pressed, the system will memorize the current position again. Pressing the stop button during the cutting process will also memorize the current position.
Ⅲ-2、Installation of the Machine:
1. Installation
The equipment must be installed on a solid ground. Any shaking or vibration is not allowed during the slicing process. (The four support feet of the machine can be adjusted to ensure the machine is stable.)
The rear part of the equipment should not be placed too close to the wall. Some clearance should be left for maintenance and repair.
2. Power Connection
If the power supply voltage is different from the specified one, make changes according to the parameters provided by the manufacturer and replace the corresponding electrical components.
If the on-site voltage is higher or lower than the voltage specified for the equipment, a transformer should be installed for the equipment.
If the on-site voltage is unstable, a voltage regulator should be installed for the equipment.
Before starting the machine, it is necessary to confirm that the power supply voltage is 380V, there is no phase loss, and the neutral wire and the live wire are not connected in reverse (Default: The blue wire is the neutral wire)
3. Trial Run
After plugging in the power supply, the power indicator light (red light) stays on, and the machine is in a standby state, and it can be started. When the machine is started, it enters the running state. To avoid injury, it is recommended to let the machine run idle first. At this time, the protection facilities must be checked.
Inspection Method:
Step 1: Open the protection cover of the inlet hopper and press the forward, backward, jog, and start buttons on the control panel in sequence. If the machine does not respond, it indicates that the protection function of the inlet hopper protection cover is normal; otherwise, it is abnormal.
Step 2: Close the inlet hopper cover, open the protection cover of the outlet hopper, and press the forward, backward, jog, and start buttons on the control panel in sequence. If the machine does not respond, it indicates that the protection function of the inlet hopper protection cover is normal; otherwise, it is abnormal.
Step 3: Close the outlet hopper cover, open the protection cover of the cutting hopper, and press the forward, backward, jog, and start buttons on the control panel in sequence. If the machine does not respond, it indicates that the protection function of the inlet hopper protection cover is normal; otherwise, it is abnormal.
Ⅲ-4、Workflow of how to operate the steak cutter:
Step 1: Turn on the main power supply of the machine. The red power light will turn on, and the machine will enter the standby state.
Step 2: Select the feeding mode (continuous/stepping/portioning).
Step 3: Open the inlet hopper cover, put the material to be cut into it, and clamp the material with the gripper. Then close the inlet hopper cover.
Step 4: Set the required thickness of the meat material to be cut on the touch screen. If the portioning function is available, it is necessary to set the required number of portions and the spacing between each portion.
Step 5: Press the manual forward button to push the meat material to the position nearest to the cutter.
Step 6: Press the start button, and the machine will start working.
Step 7: After the meat material is cut, the gripper will automatically return to the initial position, and the cutter will also return to the initial position.
Step 8: Open the outlet hopper and take out the meat material.
After one cutting is completed, repeat the above process for repeated cutting of the meat material.
