-

© COPYRIGHT – Thompson Meat Machinery 12/2008

• Insert Mixer Mincer Feed Screw.

• Insert Primary Knife • Insert Primary Coarse Hole Plate – e.g. 40 mm. • Insert Double Sided Knife

• Insert Finish (second) Hole Plate • Insert Support Spider.

• Fit Lock Ring as instructed in section 3.1.1 above.

3.2 Knives and Plates

• Follow the knife manufacturer’s instructions regarding correct fitting

and usage of the knife. NOTE: Unless the Interlocked Plate Guard has been fitted, use a maximum sized hole plate of 8mm. Using a plate with

holes greater than 8mm in diameter without a plate guard can result in SERIOUS injury.

• The Plates should be re-ground when necessary according to the

amount of usage. Worn Plates prevent a clean cut and may cause

damage to the Knife and Plate. For safety reasons, it is imperative that plates are not ground to a thickness below 5 millimetres.

• Knives MUST be changed before wearing down to the level of the knife

holder.

• Vibration from the machine's operation will cause the screws holding

the Blades on the Knives to loosen. It is advised that they be checked and tightened each time the machine is stripped and cleaned.

3.3.1 5000 Paddle Removal ( For Maintenance purposes Only ) Refer to drawings 5000AS-021 – page 40.

• When satisfied that the machine is safely electrically isolated, begin by removing the rear panel. Take care not to seize any of the M6

set screws when removing or replacing them. If this happens, re-tap the offending hole and replace the set screw. Place the rear panel out of the way in a safe place.

• With the cover removed the mix gearbox is visible. It is not necessary to remove this unit as the shaft can be shifted back far

enough to be disengaged from the paddle drive square. In preparation for removing the paddle begin by supporting its weight with a suitable lifting device. The paddle weighs less than 100kg.

• Referring to drawing 5000AS-021 – page 40, prevent rotation of the M16 central adjusting set screw (item 6) and unlock its lock nut

(item 7). Remove them both and store them. Next, remove the four M8 set screws (item 8) along with their M8 spring washers and

store them. A sliding hammer may then be fitted with an M16 screw and inserted into the vacated hole of the adjusting set screw; this can then be used to extract the end float body. Sometimes a

tug on the paddle will be sufficient to eject the end float body, however if this fails then the method described above must be

!

Operation and Maintenance Manual – 5000 Series Page - 12

-

used. The end float body assembly and bush can then be removed

and stored out of the way. • Referring to drawing 5000AS-021 – page 40, locate the shaft

retaining bolt (item 14)and washer (item 12) respectively at the

rear of the gearbox. Undo the M14 Set Screw and remove the bolt and retaining washer and store them. The 60 nominal size circlip

(Item 13) will be visible in the hollow shaft of the motor gear unit. Use an internal set of circlip pliers to remove the circlip. Using a slide hammer fitted with M14 Thread, the drive shaft can now be

slid back approximately 15mm. • The paddle can now be lifted (with the correctly rated equipment)

out of the machine by firstly pushing it forward into the end float void and then tilting it upwards and finally lifting it out of the bowl.

It may be necessary to rotate the shaft so that the front paddle blade is at the bottom.

3.5.2 5000 Paddle Installation – (reverse of above) • Refitting the paddle is essentially the opposite of removal. Lower

the paddle (with the correctly rated lifting equipment) end first into

the bowl. Guide the end of the paddle shaft into the hole vacated by the end float assembly housing. The paddle may need to be

rotated so the front blade is at the bottom. Lower the back of the paddle and push the drive shaft forward to engage the drive square.

• Reinstall the 60 nominal size circlip, drive shaft washer and Set Screw.

• Push the end float housing assembly into place and fix it with the

four M8 set screws. Insert the M16 set screw and adjust it to take up any axial movement of the paddle then lock in place with the

M16 nut. Do not place a load on the paddle, only take up any free movement.

• The rear panel can then be refitted and the machine reconnected to

its electrical supply.

8.5 GREASE SPECIFICATIONS

The following grease is used in Thompson Meat Machinery manufactured equipment:-

VALVOLINE – FOOD MACHINERY GREASE

Used in all areas requiring grease including packing bearings and seals. Refer to Appendix B for the Material Safety Data Sheet.

8.6 Machine Purpose

The Model 5000 Mixer Mincer is designed to mince fresh or thawed portions of

meat to a maximum weight per portion of approximately 7 kg through an 8mm size hole plate with subsequent processing down to a 3mm hole plate.

The tempered meat portions can be up to a size approximately 150mm x 150mm x 400mm, at a temperature above -1° C. The same machine also allows for mixing of processed meat and required meat additives prior to

further mincing. It is recommended to avoid the processing of large thin strips of tough meat such as from flank portions, as these can jam between

the paddle and the bowl wall, causing the paddle to jam or the mix motor to stall or damage to the bowl or paddle itself. Unusually long strips of dry or sinewy trimmings can wrap around the paddle arms excessively and then will

not be processed through the mincing plate. FROZEN PRODUCT MUST NOT BE PROCESSED on the Standard 5000 machine. (TEMPERED AND FRESH

PRODUCT ONLY, TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATELY –1 TO +4° CELSIUS).
