(1) INTRODUCTION
The Formatic range by Deighton Manufacturing (UK) Ltd guarantees accurate forming and
portioning of a wide variety of food mixtures and products.
Encompassing Retail, Commercial and Industrial sized models, the range has been designed to
accommodate the needs of both high and low volume producers.
Simplicity is the strength of the Formatic system. Suited to a variety of mixtures of numerous
textures and consistencies, the formatic uses synchronised paddles to gently press mixture into
the required form shape.
Assisted by the wire drum scraper, the formed product is then smoothly ejected onto the
conveyor, presenting it for packaging or further processing.
(2) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Formatic
UL approved Formatics Only
Power requirements -
On UL approved machines use a 20 amp Class B GFCI (receptacle).

(3) INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
3.1 Check the Formatic for transport damage and report any immediately to Deighton
Manufacturing Ltd.
3.2 Before Operating the machine:-
Remove any packaging material
Position the Formatic relative to any other equipment it is to connect with. Connect the
machine to the correct supply.
3.3 Step 1; Locate the selected drum onto the drive shaft ensuring that the keyways
are aligned and push the drum completely home (if the form is not at the top you may
need to lift the ejector set over the cam). Fit the paper cam/guard over the drum on the
end of the shaft and secure with locking knob, cam cannot be removed without rotating
the hopper due to the safety pin located on each hopper (left hand thread).
Step 2; Locate the conveyor platform onto the pivot shaft positioned to the bottom
left of the drum. Slip the conveyor belt onto the nylon drive roller and around the
platform nose roller, with the platform rotated to the 10 o’clock position. Set the platform
down so that it rest on the round conveyor stop and lock in place using the hand knob
provided. Fit the scraper wire assembly into the support brackets on the nose of the
conveyor and adjust the tension.
Step 3; Ensure the hopper sealing ring is pressed firmly into its retaining slot in
the machine top. Slacken the four hopper securing knobs on the top of the machine. Place
the hopper into the top machined recess on the hopper seal and rotate such that the hopper
securing lugs engage with the hand knob studs. Secure the hopper in place by tightening
the hand knobs.
Note: the hopper will only locate in one position with the hopper bars towards the front
right of the machine.
Always ensure the hopper is loaded correctly onto the seal in the hopper top.
Check the hopper bar is secure in the hopper. If it has been removed for any reason when
it is replaced use locktight to lock in position.
Step 4; Position the chosen paddles onto the paddle shaft at the top of the
machine, ensuring the keyways are aligned, and secure in place with paddle knob.
Step 5; The scraper shaft assembly (not shown) locates into the housing on the left
hand side of the drum. Before assembling the scraper shaft, ensure that the shaft locking
screw is clear of the housing bore. Push home the assembly so that the wire support bar
nearest the front of the machine engages in the housing slot. To ensure alignment in the
housing slot it will be necessary to rotate the housing clockwise with the aid of the
locking screw. When in position secure with locking screw.
The working position of the scraper, although factory set, can be adjusted with a grub
screw. This is located under a bung on the left hand side of the machine. The tension of
the scraper wire can be adjusted by rotating the front scraper bar hand knob.
(4) OPERATING THE MACHINE
Connect up to the supply and press the green start button. The form drum conveyor and hopper
paddles should rotate smoothly and quietly (if a foot switch is fitted this will need depressing to
operate).
If any safety interlock is not in place the machine will not operate. Relocate the interlock and
press the green start button to operate.
To stop the machine press the red stop button (or release foot switch if fitted).
If the machine will not operate check the following;
1. The machine power is switched on
2. The hopper guard micro switch is in place
3. There is nothing preventing the free rotation of paddles or drum
4. The stop button is not depressed
If, after carrying out these simple checks, you still do not get any rotation when the start button is
depressed, please contact your machine supplier or the manufacturer for further assistance.
Always clean the machine thoroughly prior to production (see cleaning).
When using an auto wire cleaning system always lubricate the metal shaft the scraper moves
along with the food lubrication spray provided prior to using the machine.
Initially practice starting and stopping the machine until you are able to stop the forming drum
with the mould at 90 degrees to the hopper, being positioned on the left hand side of the forming
drum when viewed from the front. This is the correct rest position and allows for simple removal
and replacement of the forming drum and also makes it easy to vary the depth of the form to set
the finished products weight.
Always make sure that there are no large pieces of bone or other hard items in the mix as they
can damage your machine.
