5. Core Equipment Structure & Sanitary Waterproof Detail Analysis

To better meet the strict requirements of modern high-standard food factories for hygiene, cleaning, and durability, this equipment has undergone professional upgrades in body wiring and material selection:

Centralized Wiring Harness Protection Design: The multiple electromechanical connection wires inside the machine are uniformly stored and placed in heavy-duty stainless steel corrugated hoses. This not only provides excellent waterproof protection—preventing circuit aging or short circuits caused by high-humidity environments—but also makes the overall wiring neater, stronger, and highly industrial-aesthetic.
Full 304 Material for Food Contact: The overall structural components and casing are made of high-quality food-grade 304 stainless steel. This material has excellent waterproof, rust-proof, and anti-corrosion properties. It can be directly and efficiently rinsed during daily workshop cleaning, making it extremely easy to clean with no sanitary dead corners.
Fully Enclosed Safety Protection Fan: The cooling exhaust fan has also undergone high-level protection customization and is tightly wrapped by a sturdy stainless steel casing. While ensuring strong heat dissipation of the equipment, it achieves mechanical safety isolation and high-level waterproofing, completely eliminating the hidden danger of water vapor infiltrating the motor in a humid kitchen environment.

II. Production Process and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

The following is a guide to core operation and parameter setting based on real machine startup and debugging:

1. Preparation of the Bottom Powder Dusting System

First, add dry flour to the lower flour hopper.
Pull out the baffle pin to allow the flour to fall onto the conveyor belt that will transport the dough sheet.
Loosen the side screws. Pushing the insert plate inward will spray two thin layers of powder; pulling it outward will spray a single layer of powder to prevent the dough sheet from sticking.

2. Filling Pre-treatment & Emptying Test

Filling Requirements: Granules need to be broken up, and the filling needs to be slightly sticky (not too loose). Put the filling into the filling injection hole and filling storage hopper.
Filling Supply Test: The switch on the right side of the control panel controls filling injection. Turn on the switch to adjust the speed, and pay attention to the exhaust and filling output. Tip: The speed should not be too fast; you can hold the hose with your hand to feel it. After the filling is smoothly discharged from the forming end, turn off the filling switch.

3. Dough Sheet Conveying & Precise Thickness Adjustment

Dough Pre-treatment: First, press the dough into a dough sheet about 1 cm thick, with a width similar to the conveyor belt.
Start Dough Sheet Conveying: Turn on the dough sheet conveying switch on the left. Slow down the initial speed, and then adjust it to a value of around 10.
Lay the dough sheet flat on the roller, and sprinkle a little dry powder on the surface to prevent sticking.
Thickness Adjustment (Crucial): Adjust the thickness of the dough wrapper through the gear knobs on both sides. Twist upwards to thicken, and twist downwards to thin. The recommended ideal dough wrapper thickness is about 1.6mm.

4. Dough Threading & Waste Recovery

After the dough sheet comes out from rolling, hold it with your hand and guide it into the forming roller mold below. Be careful not to let the dough sheet pile up here.
Pull up the excess waste dough sheet (scraps) after cutting and hang it on the white recovery roller.

5. Synchronous Forming & Parameter Matching

Turn on the filling switch again. When the filling comes out and fills the dough wrapper, slowly adjust the filling speed.
Parameter Reference: In the early stage of machine testing, it is recommended to set the left side (wrapper running) speed to around 10, and the right side (filling) speed to around 8.
Fine-tuning Tips:
If there is excess accumulation of the dough sheet in the middle, you can tighten the knobs on both sides.
If the dough wrapper breaks (Pops) at the forming port, it means the dough is too hard and needs to be kneaded slightly softer.
Emergency Stop Protection: The red button in the middle of the control panel is the emergency stop switch. After pressing it, all systems will immediately stop working; rotate it to the right to release the emergency stop and resume work.
