PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

A common problem occurs when the proper preventive maintenance procedures are not followed. Failure to perform these procedures may result in damaged equipment and may not be covered by warranty.

Please check the following items before assuming a refrigeration fault.

When the product does not freeze, there are several possibilities other than a failure in the refrigeration system. The torque between the auger motor and the frozen product is contolled by the torque sensor board measur- ing the distance between the pins on the coupler and shaft. When the distance between the pins reaches the maximum allowable distance, the compressor shuts off. The machine thinks the product thickness has reach the maximum and shuts off the compressor. The illustration below shows some of the other possible causes for a false reading from the torque sensor board.

Proper inspection and preventive maintenance (including daily cleaning) will avoid expensive repairs and costly down time.
