Maintenance Tips
- Clean hopper, cutting chamber, rounding system, and all dough-contact surfaces after each use to maintain hygiene and prevent dough buildup
- Use food-safe, non-abrasive cleaners to protect stainless steel and precision forming components
- Regularly inspect cutting blades, divider plates, and rounding cones for wear; replace when needed for consistent bun size and shape
- Lubricate drive systems and moving mechanical parts with approved lubricant to ensure smooth, continuous operation
- Check sensors, timers, and control panel functions to ensure accurate portioning and rounding cycles
- Inspect hydraulic/pneumatic systems (if equipped) for leaks, pressure stability, and worn seals
- Maintain consistent dough conditions (hydration, temperature, fermentation) to reduce machine strain and improve output quality
- Operate within rated capacity and ensure the unit is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent vibration and misalignment
- Schedule routine preventive maintenance and use only genuine Univex parts to ensure long-term performance and warranty compliance
