3.3 MACHINE COMPONENTS
The slicing and portioning machines of the IC series were designed for the cutting of meat,
chops, fish, cheese and cold cut whose slice thickness can be preselected. Depending on
the structure of each single product to be cut the cutting process is executed by a rotating
(plain or cogged) single or double blade.
For this reason the system of the machine consists out of different components:
1. Automatic forward feed of the goods to be cut via a conveyor belt
2. Transportation by a grab towards the cutting area
3. Cutting area with rotating blades
4. Automatic removal via a conveyor belt
5. Preselection of the corresponding parameters via a keyboard at the display (see chapter
5, "operation")
1. Automatic forward feed
The forward feed of the goods to be cut is done automatically by a conveyor belt. This
conveyor belt is mounted on a moveable undercarriage. The belt itself is subdivided into
different sections by vertical plates. When switching on the conveyor belt via the control
keyboard the portioned goods to be cut inside the sections of the conveyor belt are being
transported towards the cutting area. The positioning of the belt is being controlled by an
approximate switch at the underside as well as by magnetic strips in the conveyor belt.

2
5 3 4
Mod. IC Version 01 Page 14-34
2. Transportation of the goods to be cut
The goods to be cut being transported by the forward feed are distinguished by a light
barrier.
Then the grab starts moving and grabs the good to be cut at the preselected position and
pushes it to the cutting area. A light barrier identifies the front part and the control
calculates the complete length in relation to the position of the grab. This figure is stored
and processed in the cutting programme.
3. Cutting area
In relation to the speed of the forward feed of the grab and the preselected number of
revolutions per
minute the goods are cut in different slices.
4. Removing the slices
The slices fall onto the conveyor belt and afterwards they are being transported off the
machine with the preselected speed.
5. Control
Alll processes are based on the parameters given by the system control. These
parameters are keyed in via the keyboard of the display. All functions and the different
cutting programmes are described in chapter 3.4, "components for operation" and in
chapter 5, "operation".

Flap open / closed
The arrow shows if which flaps is open. If no arrow is shown the machine is ready for
operation. If all flaps are closed and only one the left arrow on the display lights up, only
open one flap briefly and close it again (safety circuit for the flaps must be activated).
Subsequently this arrow goes out, the machine is ready for operation.
Conveyor speed
The conveyor speed during the cutting procedure can be pre-selected from 0 – 99
Distance of the portioning products
The distance of each entered “number of slices” is selected from 1 to 99. For example if
the number of slices is 4 pcs; the machine is slicing groups of 4 pcs with a distance from 1
to 99. The forward feed stops after 4 slices for moving the product on the conveyor as
selected from 1 to 99 and then continues slicing.
Run on time
Time in seconds after the cutting procedure is finished the conveyor is running.
Example: A product should be slice in groups of 5 pcs. and be put on the outfeed belt.
The groups should place with a certain distance to each other on the belt..
Adjustment parameters:
Enter slice thickness: e.g. 10 mm
Enter no. of slices: 5
Enter blade speed: e.g. 80 %
Enter belt speed: e.g. 25
Enter distance of the portioned products: e.g. 60
COMMENT!
The distance between the single product groups to be c
ut shouldn`t
be bigger than speed of the conveyor belt (each in figures) in order
to have a sufficient distinction between each group.
Mod. IC Version 01 Page 18-34
3.5 ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES
This machine can be used in meat processing companies without any kind of restrictions.
4 INSTALLATION
The MHS-service personnel is responsible for the transport, set-up, and installation of the
Slicing and portioning machine as described in the Installation Manual.
Only the specially trained MHS
-
service personnel are allowed to set
-
up and install the machine. MHS will not be held liable for any
damage occurring through customer installation.
The Slicing and portioning machine comes equipped with a power cord and plug. The
customer is to ensure a proper compliance with electrical power supply regulations.
4.1 SET UP
The machine has to be aligned in such a way that no vibrations of
tilting may occur.
The machine may not be lifted or carried by means of the output
channel.
For setting up the machine or for carrying the machine to an anther place the belts have to
be removed.
4.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The machine is equipped by the company with an operation voltage of 400 volts and 50 Hz
three-phase-current.
In case of different main voltages the connections have to be changed in accordance with
the wiring diagram and certain electric parts must be exchanged.
Only authorized electricians are allowed to carry out work on the
electrical control and switching units or on any other electrical parts
of the machine. All safety elements must be tested for complete
functionality upon completion of the maintenance or service. Only
after fulfilling these requirements can the worker be released for
production use.
Mod. IC Version 01 Page 19-34
5 OPERATION
The machine must only be operated with all safety equ
ipment intact
as described in the safety instructions.
Failure to abide with these regulations can result in danger of being exposed the knife etc.
In order to eliminate all danger to life and limb it is necessary to execute daily functional
inspection of all protection guards and apparatus. Only after a positive result to this
inspection can the machine be set into operation.
Due to the extreme amount of danger involved, utmost caution is
urged when working with the blade! Always wear cut-proof gloves!
5.1 TRIAL RUN
If the machine is plugged the slicing and portioning machine is ready for operation and
could be turned on by the main switch. By depressing the Start – button on the forward
feed belt the cutting procedure could be started.
It’s advisable to let the machine run first without product, to avoid any damages. Therefore
the safety installations have to be checked (see 2.3).
5.2 POSITIONING OF PRODUCT
The product have to be place lengthwise with the straight side on the forward feed belt.
For slicing pork chops it is recommend to place the bone and and the rib vertically (to the
right side as seen on the picture). Please take care on no overlapping on each section.
The fronte plate of the gripper could be changed by a lever in order for a correct gripping
of the product.
Mod. IC Version 01 Page 20-34
5.3 CUTTING PROCESS
The start button enables the operator to start the machine automatically:
The start button will only function if all protective hoods are closed and if a programme or
the slice thickness has been preselected (0,5 mm) before.
When the forward feed conveyor belt is being started the following working steps will be
executed:
1. The forward feed conveyor belt will move until the goods to be cut have reached the
beginning of the cutting area.
2. The grab device of the forward feed fixes the goods to be cut by closing itself at the
preselected closing point.
3. The goods to be cut are pushed towards the cutting area.
4. Sensors identify the goods and the machine starts cutting. The outward conveyor belt
ejects the cutted parts.
5. After the termination of the cutting process the carriage returns to the starting position
and the process will start again.
The automatic process can be interrupted by pressing the stop button which means that
the machine will cut the remaining parts and then the grab returns to its starting where it
will stop.
Distribution of the remaining slice
This machine works with an automatic device dividing the remaining part i.e. after the
cutting process has started the length of the remaining part is identified and the slice
thickness is optimized. As a result of this only a small rest will remain uncut. If the slice
thickness is bigger than the remaining part in the gripper all slices will be divided in the
same slice thickness.
5.4 PROGRAMMING
The control of the machine was designed in a way that a maximum of 75 different cutting
programmes can be stored at one time. These programmes are divided into three different
groups:
Position 0: Special programme
Programmes 1 to 25: Cut- off programmes
Programmes 26 to 49: Standard programmes
Programmes 50 to 75: Continuous programmes
The explanation has to be read in the following chapters.
