Transport and installation
3.1 TRANSPORT
If the machine must be transported for a long
distance, it can be easily loaded on to a truck
or other means of transport.
The dough mixer is usually supplied packed,
strapped, palletized and in a vertical position.
This means that the machine can be easily
moved, loaded or unloaded with a normal lift
truck. If the machine is moved without pallets, it
must be harnessed as illustrated in figure 5 and
lifted with a crane.
DANGER
Before proceeding with the lifting
operations, make sure that any mobile parts
of the machine are securely locked in place.
The lifting and transporting operations can
be very dangerous unless they are carried
out with the utmost care. Have anyone who
is not directly involved in the work move
well away; clear and delimit the area where
the operations will take place; make sure
that the lifting and handling means used are
in perfect conditions and fit for the job; do
not touch hanging loads and keep at a
safety distance away; the loads must not be
raised more than 20 centimeters from the
ground when they are transported. Make
sure that the work area is clear and that
there is an «escape route», i.e. a safe, free
area that can be rapidly accessed to the
operators should the load drop. To prevent
the load from shifting, the surface on to
which the machine is loaded must be
perfectly horizontal.
Once the machine has been transferred to the
means of transport, make sure that it remains
well locked in position and is unable to move.
Fix it firmly to the surface on which it has been
placed using taut ropes to prevent it from
shifting in any way.
3.2 INSTALLATION
After having made sure that the machine is in a
perfect condition, it can be positioned.
Bear the following details in mind when
choosing the definitive position for the
machine:
- choose a place that is free from damp and
sheltered from the weather conditions;
- the surface on which the machine is placed
must be perfectly flat, non-slip and with a load
capacity fit to bear the weight of the machine;
- allow for a clear, uncluttered work area around
the machine;
Fig. 5 - Lifting the dough mixer.
- the place in which the machine is positioned
must be supervised or closed, to prevent it from
being accessed by children or persons who have
not been trained to use it;
- the installation site must possess good lighting
that complies with the relative standards;
