Installation, Operation and Care ofModel HCM450 Cutter Mixer

The HCM450 Cutter Mixer cuts, mixes or blends foods quickly and ef ciently. A transparent lid allows

the operator to inspect the product during the mix-cut-blend process. The unit operates continuously,

momentarily or with a timer control which shutsoff the machine automatically after the set time has

elapsed. The HCM450 bowl has a liquid capacity of 45 quarts.

The motor on HCM450 is rated 5 HP, 1140 RPM and has thermal overload protection. The motor is totally

enclosed with external fan cooling.

The cut mix shaft assembly is used for cutting meat products, vegetables, cheese, pastry, cake products

and some doughs that require both cutting and mixing.

The knead mix shaft assembly is used for applications where cutting is not required. It is especially good

for kneading yeast doughs.

The strainer basket may be used when cutting vegetables in water. After cutting, the strainer basket is

raised to allow the water to drain away from the food.

The bowl is locked in its vertical position during processing with the lock arm on HOLD. After processing,

when you move the lock arm from HOLD to TILT, the bowl can pivot to allow easy pouring.

When cutting certain products, a hand-operated mixing baf e may be used to stir or move the product

into the knives. The mixing baf e may be removed when it is not needed.
