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
