CORN CRACKER LOWER ROLL HALF BOTTOM
PLATE - FIGURE 230 TO FIGURE 233
To adjust the front half bottom plate (item 1):
Loosen all bolts and leave a lengthwise clearance of
1/16” to 1/8” (1.5 to 3) between the front half bottom
plate and the lower roll (item 3).
NOTE: The front half bottom plate must always be bolt-
ed under the Cutter Head bottom plate (item 4).
Tighten all bolts securely.
NOTE: Check deector wear (item 7) and replace them
if necessary. Worn deectors will let corn leak
between the end of the cracker roll and the ma-
chine frame.
NOTE: A tall reector is used on the left-hand side and
a short one on the right-hand side (item 7).
To adjust the rear half bottom plate (item 2):
After installing the rear bottom plate and the adjustment
bolt support bracket, it will be necessary to adjust the
distance between lower roll and the rear half bottom.
NOTE: The front half bottom plate (item 2) must always
be bolted over the fan bottom plate (item 5).
Tighten all bolts securely.
NOTE: The lower Corn Cracker roll must NOT touch
the rear half bottom plate. Use gauges with
recoended thickness, as shown here.
