This manual describes in detail the functioning and maintenance of this machine.

In order to facilitate future orders for spare parts the lists of assembly are included in the
present manual.

For the proper functioning and long life of the machine point 5.6 "General Maintenance
Plan", must be followed and acted upon.

1.1 SAFETY

The Refiner/Conche UNIVERSAL machines are designed and built according to European
patterns concerning applicable safety, they surpass these essential health and safety
requisites required by the machines Directive 89/392/CEE.

Our Refiner/Conche UNIVERSAL includes the following safety devices:

- Fixed guards for the external moving parts of the machine, charging hoppers and
ventilation ducting.

Operators should pay special attention to the loosing device, the fan and the charging
hopper, as their their manipulation involves a high risk of hands being crushed.

All the safety devices are intergral to the structure of the machine. The modification,
elimination or deterioration due to lack of maintenance of any part of the machine by the user
will increase the risk of accidents. To not maintain the machines safety equipment in good
operating order is in fact a transgression of the Directive about minimal health and safety.

3.1 POSITION
The floor where the machine will be located has to be flat, horizontal and able to support
the machine´s weight.

The machine has a load charge of 11050Kgs., when filled with product, this weight
is supported over an area of 2 sq Mt.

To assist with transport and manipulation in a safe manner, the machine is provided
with 4 transport hook points. The transport wire that hooks onto the front cover of the
machine must be longer that the others, in order to balance the machine, as the gravity
center is more or less at the (centre of the) rear cover. The wires must have a minimum
diameter of 18 mm, and should be hooked to the holes using appropriate anchor
shackles.

At the base of the machine, at every corner, are 4 plate covers, that hide 4 holes that
can be used to fit mechanic or hydraulic lifters, in case the machine is to be moved by
some kind of group wheels. If this is the situation, is very important to check the floor
strength, as the whole weight of the machine would be applied to 4 contact points. To
ensure the weight will not damage the floor surface it´s advisable to protect it with steel
plates, along the path the wheels will follow. It is necessary to take adequate
precautions to avoid any accident to personnel, or damage to the machine or factory.

3.1.1 Reception of the machine

The machine can be shipped in wood packing or in a container, either open top
or box, according to the facilities of the reception seaport.

3.1.1.a Wood packing

To unload equipment either a forklift or a crane can be used. In both cases, the
wires from the forks must be situated at the places where the marks have been
painted; in order to avoid any accident that could cause serious injures to people,
or damage to goods or the machine itself. Also, when using wheels, they should be
placed close to the marks, under the crate.

When using a crane to remove the machine from the crate, it’s necessary to open
both the upper cover, and a side cover, and hook the machine as described at point
3.1 «Position» If no crane is available, and thus wheels are used, the crate must be
dismantled completely.

When wheels are placed under the base of the machine, assure that their position
will match the reinforcement of the crate base, to not crash it. Please ensure floor
.
surface is as flat as possible., see point 3.1 «Position».

When using wheels, proceed very carefully, in order to avoid any accident to
personnel.

3.1.1.b Container

The machine might come to you in either: open top container or box (closed
container). When the machine comes in an open top, after opening the open top
and the doors, you can proceed exactly as per point 3.1.1.a «Wood packing».

When you receive a box container, discharging the machine from the container will
be a little more difficult.

11
Moving the Refiner from a container

I- Move the machine to the front of the container, by hooking


a cable to the front cover of the machine.

II- Using a lift crane, lift the machine up smoothly, pulling


it out at the same time, till the moment. when the second

3.2. CONNECTIONS
3.2.1. Filling and emptying the double jacket of the machine.
The entry of water from the supply system to the machine and the entry of refrigerated
water (if used) must be done through the pipe provided with valve and electro valve. The
valve for total emptying of the machine has to be connected to an open drain. When
water comes out of the overflow pipe this indicates that the double jacket is full.

The overflow pipe has to be connected to a drainage pipe and never is to be closed,
this is to avoid overpressures, as expressed in the point 2 «GENERAL DATA». If the
machine is used in a closed water circuit, the necessary controls must be installed, to
ensure there in no problem with overpressure, as expressed in point 2 «GENERAL
DATA».

NOTE: The water exit valve (pos.3) must be always closed. (exception is when the
water jacket needs to be emptied). Do not reduce the diameter of the emptying pipe.

1- Water pump.

2- Drainage.

3- Emptying.

4- Water net inlet.

5- Cooling water inlet

(with electrovalve).

3.2.2. Electrical connections.


The electrical panel must be connected to the main line, which should have enough
power (see point 2. «GENERAL DATA»). Connect the connection devices and the
connection boxes of the different machines to the electrical panel following and
according to the enclosed electrical sketch (point 9 «ELECTRICAL SCHEMES»).
Once the panel is connected it must be checked that all motors rotate/turn in the correct
direction. If they turn the wrong/opposite direction, it will be enough reversing two
phases; reversed at the pertinent connection device.

NOTE: Probes need to be connected with shielded cable.

4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

15
4.1. STARTING UP
Follow those steps carefully to start up the machine.
1. Check the oil level in the reducer. The oil has to reach the visor, if not, fill with the
recommended oil on the reducer plate. Use the plug located under the reducer to
empty oil when required. Check the oil level in the hydraulic group.

2. Check that when starting the machine for the first time THE DIRECTION OF THE
MOTOR IS CORRECT, AS INDICATED IN THE V BELTS COVER, and it is
absolutely forbidden that they turn in the opposite direction of the arrow so, if the
machine is started with the shaft rotating in the wrong direction the machine will be
damaged beyond repair. The direction of the motor should correspond to the
direction of the arrow on the housing.

The safest and best way to check motor direction is to loosen the drive belts and
check the direction manually. Ensure the motor turns in the correct direction.

3. Before starting the machine fill the double jacket with water from the water supply
system (net) by using the water inlet (see point 3.2.1.). Water should be allowed to
pass through the jacket and out through the water outlet. Once the water jacket is
completely full, the electrical heater can be connected.

4. Select the temperatures for the water and the product in the temperature control
device.

Those temperatures have to be set with the corresponding selectors. Once the
temperatures are selected either of two things can happen 1.heating will start if the
actual temperature is below the pre-set temperature or 2. If the actual is above the
pre-set then the system will allow cold water from the suply system (net) to enter in
to the double jacket, to cool down the mass.

NOTE: We recommend 45º C for the water approx. Once temperatures have
been pre-set, heating elements will start.

5. Once the machine has reached the lower set point temperature, the motor can
be started and it can be loaded with the fatty ingredients in a liquid state. If it is not
possible to load fatty ingredients in a liquid state, then those ingredients must be
divided into pieces (the smaller the better) and melted in the refiner, the refiner
should not be started until the fatty masses are completely melted. The heated
water in the double jacket will melt the fatty solids (cocoa butter, vegetable fat,
cocoa liquor, etc).

16
If the machine is to work only one single batch during the day then fatty, small solids
particles should be loaded in the machine the night before, leaving the machine
warm during the night should ensure the following morning the fatty ingredients will
be completely liquid and ready to work. Once all fatty ingredients are liquid, add the
rest of the ingredients (sugar, cocoa powder, milk powder...). The blades must be
loose.

NOTE: In case cocoa nib is to be used, once the nibs have been charged in the
machine, those nibs have to be refined by pressing the blades till they are
completely ground. Once this operation is done, loosen the blades and add the rest
of the ingredients for perfect mixing, before starting the refining process once
again.

6. Once all the ingredients have been loaded and mixed, start pressure to the
blades in order to commence the refining process. When the system is in the
position «pressure on» amperage has to be checked by looking at the ammeter the
consumption values have to be correct according to the working tension table (see
point 2. «GENERAL DATA»).

In case the machine settings are not correct, adjust the pressure of the blades and
settings to the product that is being processed (see point 4.2. «Blade Pressure
Adjustment»).

NOTE: When operating on «automatic» the pressure of the blades will be controlled
by the values pre-set in the ammeter. When operating pressure «manually» the
functions of «pressing» or «loosening» blades will be fully and only the responsibility
of the operator, and the ammeter will only show the real amperage, but the pre-set
minimum and maximum limits of amperage will not operate when working
«manually». Only the safety limits of amperage will work.

The first batch must only be for cleaning purposes to remove any metallic
contamination from the factory manufacturing process. Firstly warm the
machine up to approximately 45ºC over 4/6 hours, load the machine with
400/600
200/300 Kg 200/300kgs
kgs of eatable fat or oil and 100/150 Kg of sugar. It is preferable to
melt the fats prior to loading, however if this is not possible the blocks of fat
should be broken into small pieces. This product has to be rejected to avoid
contamination.

4.2.2 Electrovalve and hydraulic circuit
In order to regulate the tightening or loosening of the blades through the hydraulic
circuit the flow regulators have to be manipulated. Those flow regulators are
placed in the plate next to the electrovalve (see point "5.5.1 Hydraulic Group
Sketch").

Those flow regulators act over the RETURNS of the respective circuits of
loosening and tightening. If those flow regulators allow the passing of all the flow,
then the movement of the piston would be too fast and the electrical equipment will
not be able to control efficiently the functioning of the machine, this is why the
regulators must be governed in order that the operations are slowed down.

There is a manometer placed over the tightening circuit conduit. This manometer
will show maximum 150 bars during the tightening process.

4.3. CONCHING
Once grinding is completely finished and the end desired fineness is reached an extra
or optional conching process can be done if this is necessary for the mass to improve
its final taste. It is advised to add any flavours at this stage of the operation.

The CONCHING process can be done by starting the UNIVERSAL, always the blades
must be loosened. The «conching» time is always according to different customer’s
criterion, recipes and ingredients.

A humidity-gases extractor/ventilator is situated at the back of the machine if used


during conching it will contribute to improving the final taste of the product.

Once the conching time is ended, according to customer criterion, the whole process
is finished.

21
4.4. STOP THE MACHINE
In order to stop the machine when working under MANUAL operation, the following
rulesmust be followed:

- loosen the blades.

- stop the machine.

Remember not to stop the heating system of the machine.

The heating system must always be checked before starting, as if it has been left off,
there may be cold zones. If the machine has to be stopped for a long time (longer than
a week), the grinding chamber and its mechanisms have to be cleaned before
disconnection. (when changing recipes the same procedure has to be followed).

To change the recipe, you mustproceeded as follows:

400/600kgs
- load the machine with 200/300 Kg of eatable fat or oil.

- start the machine with loose shovels.

- Collect the fat after the cleaning in a container different to the normal storage tank.

NOTE: when working under AUTOMATIC operation, then it is not necessary to do

any previous job to stop the machine.

NOTE: if the machine stops before having done all refining process, blades will loosen
automatically, then it will not be possible to start it up again untill the blades are
completely loose.

5. MAINTENANCE

24
5.1. BELT TENSIONING.
The motor is fixed to a platform that hangs from four thread bolts and fixed by the
corresponding nuts to each side of the platform. By screwing the nuts tensioning
of the belts is achieved.

If it is necessary to replace the pulley, it should be kept in mind that the tightening
torque is 11,7
11,7 kg/m for the reducer pulley and 3,25 kg/m for the motor pulley.

TAPER BUSHES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: TO ASSEMBLE

1. Clean and de-grease the bore and taper surfaces of the bush and the tapered
bore of the pulley, insert the bush in the pulley hub and line up the holes (half thread
holes must line up with half straight holes).

2. Lightly oil the grub screws (bush size 1008 to 3030) or the cap screws (bush size
3535 to 5050) and screw them in, do not tighten yet.

3. Clean and de-grease the shaft fit pulley with taper bush on shaft and locate in
desired position.

4. When using a key it should first be fitted in the shaft keyway. There should be a
top clearance between the key and the keyway in the bore.

5. Using a hexagon socket wrench (DIN911) gradually tighten the grub/cap screw
in accordance with the torques as listed in the schedule of screw tightening torque.

6. When the drive has been operating under load for a short period (half to one hour)
check and ensure that the screws remain at the appropriate tightening torque.

7. In order to eliminate the ingress of dirt fill all empty holes with grease.

REMOVAL

1. Slacken all screws. Depending on the size of the bush remove one or two. After
oiling point and thread of grub screws o under head and thread of cap screws insert
them into the jacking off hole in bush.

2. Tighten screw uniformly and alternately until the bush is loose in the hub and pulley
is free on the shaft.

3. Remove pulley bush assembly from shaft.

25
5.2. LUBRICATION.
*For the reducer oil VG-220 with a viscosity of 220 cst at 40ºC must be used.

After the first 500 hours of processing the lubricant must be replaced to clean all
impurities from the first lubrication. After this first change, the lubricant has to be
changed after every 2500 working hours or 6 months.

NOTE: Before starting the machine the lubricant level has to be checked
cause it could have happened that during transportation it might have lost
some of it.

*For the lubrication of the support of the main shaft any kind of lithic grease can be
used.

*The lubrication of the pressure mechanism has to be done through the oiler (pos.
X). The grease to be used will be LITHIC with a yearly periodicity and very small
amount each time.

5.3. SUBSTITUTION OF THE GROUP BLADE/SPRING.


We have provided extra blades and a special key for their substitution.

The precautions in order to avoid the breaking of a blade are:

* DO NOT START THE MACHINE IF THE TEMPERATURE SHOWED IN THE


THERMOMETER IS BELOW 40ºC.

* DO NOT START THE MACHINE WITH THE BLADES TIGHTENED.

* DO NOT INVERT THE RUNNING SENSE OF THE MOTOR.

* DO NOT FEED THE MACHINE WITH BIG BLOCKS OF FAT OR FATTY


INGREDIENTS.

26
Those are the steps to follow in order to replace the blades:

1- Dismount the front hopper (4).

2- Dismount the back hopper (5).

3- Take away the nuts with the key (3).

4- Take away the bolts (2).

5- Substitute the blade (1).

Proceed to mount the new blade, screwing firmly the nuts and punch between the nut
and the thread of the bolt to assure the blocking of the assembly..

27
5.4. MAIN SHAFT STUFFING BOX
We recommend that before starting the machine to check if there is any chocolate
leackage through the stuffing box. If so it will be necessary to press slightly the stuffing
box by means of the bolts situated at the sides of the stuffing box.

In case the leackage still exists, proceed as follows to change the stuffing.

1- Loosen the stuffing box (pos. Y).

2- Extract the stuffing.

3- Place the new stuffing, the stuffing box and press again the whole assembly.

5.5.2 Maintenance
The maintenance of the hydraulic unit is only for the oil that it contains. It
mustbe changed ONLY EVERY 1000 HOURS OF OPERATION OF THE
HYDRAULIC UNIT for this reason this maintenance is nearly nonexistent.

If you have arrived to this 1000 hours of operation or for any other reason e.g.
leakage on the hydraulic circuit, to replace the hydraulic oil you have to
proceed as follows:

separate the complete hydraulic unit from it position it is necessary to


dismount the oil tank and then is is possible to get all the oil that it contains,
without spilling it over the reducer and the V-belts.

Then this operation must be done in a mode where by you can empty all the
hydraulic oil.

NOTE: empty completely the hydraulic circuit before refilling the oil tank.

NEVER MIX OILS ! ! !

-once the hydraulic unit was dismounted from its position loose the nut nº 13
and separate the tank nº 1 with it you can empty all the hydraulic oil.

-check the filter nº 7, the gasket nº 14 and the pump gasket nº 15.

-assembling again the tank tightening the nut nº 13 and there removing the
devaporator unit nº 9 refill the tank with 2,5 lts of hydraulic oil type ISO VG-
46; check if there is any leakage of oil from the tank and assemble the unit in
its position.

NOTE: check the connections and the positions of the pipes from the
hydraulic circuit.

GEAR REDUCERS MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS

SET- UP POSITION AND INSTALLATION


This gear reducer has been supplied for a previously agreed set--up position and must be attached firmly to its supporting
structure, taking the relevant measures concerning stiffness and levelling, by attaching it on a flat surface unable to generate
improper forces and stresses.
To transmit power directly from the gear reducer up to the driven machine, it is recommendable to use an elastic coupling.
Machine elements fitted on the shaft shall not be fitted by entering them with a mallet or a hammer, but only fitting them softly under
the pressure exerted by a bolt passed through the hollow shaft or by using the tapped hole arranged on the shaft’s end. Otherwise,
the bearings could be damaged.
The holes of the machine elements to be fitted on the shaft shall have been machined with a tolerance of H7 grade, whilst the
shafts are ground to a k5 grade.
The components of this speed reducer have been subject to strict controls throughout their production process.
Once mounted, this speed reducer has satisfactorily passed, among others, the following controls:
Noise volume, sealing, shaft eccentricity and misalignment, speed, power and finish.

LUBRICATION
Except otherwise specified for the selected working position, these gear reducers have been designed to be splash lubricated
by an oil bath. THEY ARE SUPPLIED WITHOUT LUBRICANT and it is the customer who has to fill in oil up the level, following
the instructions for the maintenance of the reducers.

COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE
The hole for filling in the lubricant has been equipped with a breather stopper, existing moreover another plug to empty the lubricant
contained and placed in the bottom part of the housing.
The approximate quantity of lubricant has been shown on the machine plate of the reducer. The optimal level is that corresponding
to the dipstick mark.
After the first 500 working hours, empty the housing by opening the emptying plug and fill in new lubricant up to this has dragged
off all the impurities generated during the running--in period. After this first oil change, change oil every 2500 working hours or
every 6 months. These specifications may vary according to the grade or type of lubricant used, and oil level shall be checked
periodically in order to prevent any type of oil leak.
The lubricant used for running--in the gear reducer can be used again, once it has ben filtered and freed of any impurities.
It is recommended to not surpass the dipstick level, because the addition of more oil not only is not beneficial for the mechanism,
but could even originate an overheating, therefore worsening the thermal efficiency of the gear reducer.

RUNNING
It is recommended to carry out a running--in period consisting in a progressive application of load to the gear reducer before its
difinitive industrial use.
At full load, the stabilized operating temperature of the gear reducer may easily reach 80 to 85 ° C without this influencing
negatively its operation.

GEAR REDUCER WITH PUMP ENCLOSED


Should the gear reducer supplied be equipped with forced lubrication by pump, the following points should be taken into account
before commissioning the machine:

Prime the pump. To this purpose, there is a special stopper in the distribution tubing.
Check periodically that the pump continues primed before carrying out further starts.

GEAR REDUCER COOLING FORCED


Should the gear reducer be equipped with a water cooled oil cooler, the water shall be first filtered to avoid an obstruction in said
cooler.

OBSERVATIONS
It is recommended to periodically stop the plant to check the grade of wear suffered by the gears through the inspection windows.
After dismantling any one of these covers, clean he surfaces from remains of the old joint and refit with sealing paste when it is
to be fitted again.
Any anomaly in the operation of the gear reducer (abnormal noise, excessive temperatures, lubrication failures, lubricant losses)
shall cause an immediate thorough revision of the reducer and the repair or the replacement of the damaged parts.
If a relatively long storage period is envisaged before commissioning the gear reducer, some precautions shall be taken, such
as recovering the internal elements with a protecting product soluble in the lubricating oil; protecting the shafts with a long lasting
anti--oxidation product; and storing the reducer in a dry place, where temperature variations are not significative. Should this be
likely to occur, please ask us for advice.
For better control of lubrication system, we advise about the installation of any element to control the lubricant pass.
