1.1.1 Definitions
1. By “dangerous zone” we mean an area of the machine which puts the individual’s safety and
health at risk (see layout).
3. By “operator” we mean the person or persons who are in charge of installing, making the
machine run and perform maintenance on it.
b) The machine is designed so as to almost completely eliminate risks due to moving parts. For
those cases in which these risks are not completely eliminated, appropriate guards that will be
described further on have been adopted.
c) The machine has been designed for the production of mixture for industrial/artisan ice cream
and can only operate for this purpose. Other uses must not be performed without written
approval by the Manufacturer as indicated in the use manual.
d) Particular effort on the part of the operator is not required because the control systems are
made up of push-buttons and not levers, flywheels, etc. During operation in cycle, the operator
controls the machine through an operator panel.
e) Carefully read the paragraph “Protection devices” in this manual for helpful references to
personal protection.
f) Special equipment: For the elements forming the machine, common equipment normally found
in all maintenance departments suffices.
The products used during processing which could be noxious are given in the manual, with the
relative instructions on how to manage said products, moreover following the instructions given by
the supplier with the relative safety sheets.
It is the responsibility of the operator to obtain the safety sheets of the products.
1.1.4 Lighting
The machine must be provided with adequate lighting both in the work zones, and in the in areas
where the operator must perform maintenance.
The emergency push buttons all work in series on relays that, disconnecting, interrupt the supply of
the auxiliary equipment. All the outtakes of the PLC, not having an intake signal, disconnect all the
control relays.
Starting the machine occurs from a highly visible and safe position so that the safety of the
individuals is not compromised at the moment of start-up.
Use personal protection gear such as: masks, goggles and shoes.
1.2.3 Start-up
Restarting the machine after a stop only occurs with a voluntary action.
With the connection of the general switch and/or because of lack of voltage and/or due to
emergency, the machine must be reset with the specific push button and all the operations
restarted.
Regular stop
There is a button for general stop. Regular stop is performed by operating the various stop buttons
which are available in every work zone.
Emergency stop
The emergency stop is done with the same push button (mushroom) placed in every work zone.
For the new start command, the push button must be unblocked and all the motors and the
operations restarted after having been reset.
In the passage between the various modes there is no possibility of wrong movements of functions
but only those selected.
Lack of voltage blocks the machine in all its operations and, when voltage returns, the devices
must be restored and restarted.
The same applies to compressed air and oil pressure. In case of short circuit, the thermal magnets
trip; the same applies for an eventual discharge to ground or unexpected overload.
• Early restart;
• Impediment in stopping machine;
• Ineffectiveness of safety devices.
1.2.8 Software
The software is designed so that no dangerous situations are created, is easy to manage and has
self-diagnosis system.
1.3.1 Stability
Stability is guaranteed by following the instructions given in this manual.
The flexible pipes are marked with coloured heat-shrinking that indicate where they must be
mounted. Inversion therefore becomes impossible during assembly which could damage the
machine and create risks for the operator.
Moreover, an instruction manual is provided edited in conformity with the instructions given in EN
12100.

Properly trained and instructed personnel must install, assemble and start up the machine on the
Customer’s premises, under the supervision of the technical service of the company Teknoice
S.r.l. (if agreed in writing).
NOTE
If these instructions are not followed, Teknoice S.r.l. does not answer for any machine damage or
subsequent services not complying with the technical specifications provided.
Transport
The machines and the assemblies that form it are designed and built so they can be transported
damage-free with vehicles (fork lift trucks) and suitable lifting means (bridge cranes, cranes, double
chain hoists).
The means of transport and lifting must be proportionate to the weight of the material to be
transported. To this regard, the lifting force or capacity must be at least 20% higher than that
required for lifting the machine and packing.
ATTENTION
During transport, pay close attention to never lift the machine parts with unsuitable means, such as
directly by the fork lift truck, but always use the slings shown in the drawing and figure in the next
paragraph. Otherwise, you risk damaging the machine more or less seriously.
The machine and assemblies that form it must be firmly anchored so they do not slip, overturn or
fall from the lift truck’s loading bed.
Precautions
Abide by the precautions and warnings given in the foregoing paragraphs in order to ensure
stability and to prevent uncoupling as well as damages and risks correlated with handling the
machine. Appoint trained personnel (slingers, lift truck operators, crane operators, etc.) to the
handling and transport operations.
ATTENTION
Carefully check the condition of the lifting devices and their capacity.
Up
Fragile
Centre of gravity
Store indoors
The cases should be handled by a lift truck: pay attention to the position of the forks that must
match the position shown in the figure.
The machine is identified and marked, and the identification code is given on the transport
document or delivery note.
The parcels are marked with highly visible writings that are resistant to sea water and sunlight, or
with pre-printed plates.
The list of the various units that make up the machine (packing list) shows the marking, weight,
dimensions and position of the centre of gravity, to be regularly transported separately.
The case with the heating unit contains a package with standard spares, wiring diagram and
instruction manual. Put it to a safe place before continuing with the unpacking.
If there is any damage, the transported material is to be accepted conditionally since its integrity
must be checked. Before removing any packing from the parts making up the machine,
immediately contact Teknoice S.r.l. if it has sustained damage.
Check the state of the machine visually, inside and outside the packing. Any deformations may
indicate impacts sustained by the machine during transport that could jeopardise its normal
operation.
Any damage undergone by the machine during transport, for any number of reasons, could cause
injuries to people or damage to things, in addition to not ensuring perfect machine operation. The
Customer, or the Customer’s representative, is asked to thoroughly examine the machine before
positioning it and starting it up.
Dimensions
7200 x 3600 x 2200 7600 x 3600 x 2800
mm.
Space requirements
The layout drawing of the machine shows the minimum and maximum distances to be observed for
proper placing and positioning of the various component units.
In addition to the overall dimensions of the machine, it is necessary to provide additional space (at
least 800 mm) to permit:
Testing
Testing has been performed at the Teknoice S.r.l. Plant, where all mechanical calibrations and
dimensional checks envisaged have been carried out.
In order to ensure correct installation, pay attention that the geometric characteristics established
during the design stage and defined in the mechanical drawings are maintained.
The engineers in charge of reassembly will pay close attention to these characteristics.
Machine connections
Electrical connection
ATTENTION
After having moved the bases close to each other and fixed them, proceed to the relevant electrical
connections.
• Each base has a pull box similar to that installed on the next base.
• Connect the boxes to each other, using the cables set up with the numbered wires.
• Check the values shown on the identification plate to ensure that machine voltage and
frequency are compatible with local voltage and frequency.
• Based on the same data and regulations on the installation region, obtain the section of the
power supply cable, which in any case should not be less than 1 mm every 5 Ampere.
• A safety switch should be installed close to the machine according to the local regulations.
• From this switch, lead the electrical cable to the machine, through the electrical power board
and through the special cable gland.
• Then, connect the 3 phases to terminals "R-S-T" and the Earth to the special terminal.
Hydraulic connection
Mains water
The mains water is used to pre-cool the mixture, to make the mixture itself, to lubricate and cool
down the homogenizer and to supply the heating circuit. Follow these directions:
• Connect the mains water to the check valve located at the exchanger inlet.
• The water coming from the exchanger is sent to the selected tank and is used to prepare the
mixture as primary ingredient.
• A second connection must be made to supply the heating unit and the homogenizer. This
connection is essential:
- For lubricating and cooling the pumping pistons of the homogenizer (disposable)
- For keeping the pressure in the heating circuit constant.
Frozen water
The frozen water is used to cool the mixture to the temperature of 4/5 °C. Follow these directions:
• Connect the frozen water delivery pipe to the three-way valve located at the exchanger inlet
and the return pipe to the exchanger outlet union.
ATTENTION
Refer to the technical characteristics given in this manual for the required capacity and the pipe
sizing. In any case, the pipe dimensions should not be smaller than the dimensions of the inlet
unions or have choking in their path.
Pneumatic connection
Follow these directions:
• Connect the compressed air piping to the union located behind the machine.
• The required pressure is 6 bar.
• A manual check valve should be installed on the compressed air line close to the machine.
ATTENTION
Refer to the technical characteristics given in this manual for the compressed air consumption and
the pipe sizing. In any case, the pipe dimensions should not be smaller than the dimensions of the
compressed air inlet union or have choking in its path.
Boiler connection
Follow these directions:
• Connect the hot water pipes of the boiler to those of the exchanger and tank unit by the special
unions in 3 parts already mounted on the machine.
• Connect the gas piping to the special union mounted on the boiler.
• If LPG is used, a set with multiple cylinders is recommended, connected to a single header that
feeds the boiler, so as to have a more constant gas pressure and longer endurance.
The boiler is set up and tested at the factory with LPG; if methane gas is used, remove the
pressure reducer on the gas supply and replace the burner nozzles.
For additional explanations, please refer to the technical documentation of the boiler attached to
this manual.

Residual risks
Although the Teknoice S.r.l. machine is built based on the current technological level and its
operation can be called safe, it may generate hazards if used inappropriately by non-specialised
personnel or for purposes not envisaged by its specific intended use.
There are residual risks for the operator when working on the machine, which are pointed out each
time.
The residual risks can be eliminated by carefully following the procedures indicated in this manual
and by adopting the personal protection equipment prescribed.
Use of and maintenance and any necessary repairs made on the machine must be entrusted to
AUTHORISED PERSONNEL that are duly trained and informed of the dangers that can derive
from it.
The operator must in turn keep watch that unauthorised people do not work on the machine.
The machine’s protection devices must not be altered or tampered with without the written
authorisation of Teknoice S.r.l.
In the case of damage or breakdown, the machine must remain out of service until the protection
devices are once again in operation.
There is a HIGH DEGREE OF DANGER during machine maintenance operations, so they must be
performed with the machine STOPPED and OFF.
The machine covers should be removed only for repair or maintenance purposes. Before start-up,
they must be replaced and fixed to their original position.
The accident prevention rules in the most recent edition are to be followed during the machine
transport, installation and start-up operations.
• Any objects (except for the machining pieces) accidentally left in the work area could cause risk
for the operator;
• Nobody except for the operator can stay in the safety zone or, in any case, in the hazardous
zoned while the machine is in operation.
Any parts that may pose a hazard (such as: gears, belts, etc…) are protected by fixed guards.
ATTENTION
If maintenance works are to be carried out on the machine, the machine must be stopped with the
master switch set to OFF.
The user should not enter inside the machine zones when the devices are running. These zones
are dangerous and can pose serious risks of accidents. Only one operator can operate the
systems in this zone.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for damages to third party or property resulting
therefrom; in this case, the operator works under his sole responsibility. The subject zones are
therefore fitted with safety structures compliant with (safety distance to prevent reaching
dangerous zones for the upper limbs).
General warnings
Notes of warning
Always cut out all main and auxiliary machine power
supplies before performing maintenance operations on
it.
ATTENTION
MAINTENANCE
IN PROGRESS
• Moving parts that can cause serious injuries to people are present in the equipment in
operation. Avoid contact with these parts.
• Never cut out the safety and protection devices installed on the equipment. If this should
prove necessary, indicate the condition with special warning signs and work taking every
precaution. Reinstate all safety and protection devices as soon as possible. The work
positions the operator must assume are shown in the layout attached to this manual.
• Failure to earth the equipment may cause serious injuries to people. Always make sure the
earth connections are in place and that they meet the Standards.
• Do not use flammable or toxic solvents such as petrol, benzene, ether and alcohol. The use of
trichloroethylene or another compatible detergent is recommended, using the necessary
precautions.
• Toxic waste, such as machining residue, lubricants, etc., must be collected in special labelled
containers and disposed of according to current local regulations.
• Always make sure that the maintenance personnel are located at a safety distance and that
tools or materials are not left close to the equipment before putting the machine into operation.
• Always use protective goggles and gloves during equipment maintenance operations.
• Never use jets of water in the case the equipment catches fire; section all power supplies and
use ABC class powder extinguishers.
• The electrical control board should always be locked and access is permitted to authorised
and specialised personnel only.
• Working inside the electrical board must be done only after the main electric power
supply switch has been disconnected and the machine’s power supply line has been
electrically sectioned.
• Ensure that the tools to be used are in perfect condition and have insulating handgrips where
required. Check that the isolation of the cables and conductors of the equipment shows not
even the least sign of breakage or damage.
ATTENTION
Before starting the machine installation operations, the Customer must adapt the work environment
to the regulations locally in force pertaining to “Safety at the work place” and get ready adequate
accident prevention clothing for qualified personnel and operators in defence of “Health safety
during work”.
Notes of warning
• Before putting the equipment back into operation following a failure, it must be thoroughly
inspected and checked to reveal any possible damage.
• Always use dry air while cleaning and a pressure not higher than 2 bar.
• Always use tools in perfect condition and appropriate for the operation to be performed; the
use of unsuitable non efficient equipment may cause serious damage.
• Always ensure the presence and proper distribution of lubrication. A lack of lubricant can
damage the machine.
• Never touch the adjustments and positioning of the limit switch micro-switches. Tampering
with them can cause the machine serious damage and expose the operator to risk.
ATTENTION
All preventive, routine and extraordinary maintenance operations must be recorded in a special log
by entering the date, time, type of intervention, operator’s name and all useful information.
Personnel qualification
The maintenance operations can be performed in user safety conditions after the
recommendations and instructions furnished by this manual have been carefully read and
understood.

measures.
If necessary, the various operations may also be performed by personnel having the same or high
qualification and that have taken specialised training courses.
Keep at hand a special eye wash or water fountains suitable for the
purpose.
The area where the operator works must not only remain free of foreign
objects, but its flooring must also have undergone skid-proof treatment
(responsibility of the Customer). An alternative would be to use
adhesive mats.

Introduction
This chapter describes the operations required for the realization of the final product.
Operator status
Personnel enabled to carry out the machine preparation and maintenance procedures must be
informed and have been properly trained in advance as the various operations must be performed
in manual mode, except for the safety devices.
Specifically, the personnel must have been informed about the safe execution of the procedures
contained in this manual and wear the personal protection equipment described.
The preparation phase of the machine must be performed only by authorized personnel that have
the keys and any access codes that enable the preparation procedures of the machine.
General rules
The selection of the operation status, the activation of the run/stop, the alarm and emergency
signals are located on the control panel.
It is a good rule of thumb to supervise operation and the signals furnished by the machines
sensors and anomaly indicators located on the control panel.
Operation modes
The machine can operate in the following modes:
Manual cycle
Every operation can be controlled with push buttons or with the screen pages of the operator
panel.
Pressing a push button or a function key causes the controlled area to move, a subsequent
pressing of the same key or the relative stop button causes the immediate stop.
Functional control
ATTENTION
Before starting the machine, a test with water must be performed to verify that all operations are
occurring without problems.
1) Release the emergency button located on the control panel, turning it clockwise.
3) Verify that the rotation direction of all the motors corresponds to the one indicated on the
motors by the specific arrows. The machine is tested in the factory, therefore if a motor is
turning correctly, all the others will also have the correct rotation direction. Should the rotation
direction not correspond to what is indicated, reverse the two phases of the general supply.
4) Supply the machine with compressed air by opening the relative shut-off valve. Verify that there
are no leaks of compressed air.
5) Open the mains water for the supply of the boiler and the homogenizer; remove the cap on the
automatic discharger of air bubbles and adjust the pressure of the water in the heating circuit to
0.8/1 bar using the specific pressure reduction unit.
To eliminate all the air in the pipes, select the first tank with the specific function key (tank
selection), enable the tank heating with the specific function key (tank heating), also enable the
pasteurization heating with the specific function key (pasteurization heating).
Given that the switch of the boiler is in idle position, only the hot water pump will function,
making water circulate in the tank selected and in the exchanger, section of pasteurization;
leave in operation until no more air comes out of the discharger, then select the second tank,
still with the specific function key (tank selection) and wait again until no more air bubbles come
our of the discharger.
Stop the heating using the specific function key (heating) and disable the pasteurization using
the specific function key (pasteurization heating).
6) Set on the litre counter (Ref. 12) a quantity of water equal to the capacity of your system
(Example: 2000 litres for the TEKNOMIX HTST 2000).
7) Open the mains water using the shut-off valve located on the input exchanger of the pre-
cooling section.
8) Start the frozen water tank so that it can become fully operational.
9) Select the first tank using the specific function key (tank selection) and start the litre meter
using the specific function key (start litre counter). Adjust the pressure reduction unit of the
mains water located right after the litre counter in order to have a flow of water entering the
tank at 70% of the capacity of the machine (Example: 1400 l/h for the TEKNOMIX HTST
2000).
10) Turn the boiler switch to the on position, then turn on the gas if it is a gas boiler, or open the
steam intake valve if it has steam heating. Always refer to the attached boiler manual before
the first start-up of the boiler.
11) Set a temperature of 55 oC on the specific temperature window relative to the first tank and a
temperature of 95 oC on the temperature window of the hot water.
12) Press the key to start the heating of the tanks: the hot water pump, boiler and solenoid valve of
the first tank will start automatically; also start the agitator of the first tank to promote the
thermal exchange between hot water in the air space and test liquid within the tank. The
temperature set at 55 oC for the liquid in the tank must be reached in about one hour.
13) When the temperature of the liquid reaches the value set, the boiler shuts off, leaving however
the circulation pump of hot water running for another 3 minutes so as to avoid over-
temperature in the boiler which could cause the safety thermostat to kick in.
Select the second tank in order to open of the outtake valve of the mixture of the first tank, wait
a few seconds so that the water fills all the outtake pipe, then start the pump for transferring the
mixture using the relative key.
The test liquid at 55 oC is withdrawn from the first tank and sent to the tank at a constant level,
where a specific valve controls its level.
14) Set the control mixture flow valve on “AUTO”: in this way the temperature of mixture
pasteurization will be automatically controlled and if it falls below the value set, the mixture will
repeat the heating cycle until it reaches the temperature set.
If, instead, the manual operation “MAN” is selected, the mixture continues in the cycle
regardless of the temperature of pasteurization.
Instead, if set on “BY-PASS”, the mixture will always return to the constant level tank. This last
option is useful during production to change for example the vat into which the mixture is sent
without stopping production.
15) Enable the pasteurization with the specific pasteurization heating key, set on the specific
window the desired temperature of pasteurization (normally 85 oC) and the temperature of the
hot water 5/6 oC higher than that of the mixture (pasteurization) therefore at 90/91 oC.
Also start the heating of the tanks. The hot water coming from the heating unit is sent to the air
space of the second tank and to the pasteurization section of the exchanger.
16) Make sure that the by-pass valve of the homogenizer is in the on position, then start the feed
pump of the mixture using the relative key and the homogenizer using the specific start push-
button.
Wait another few seconds to allow the homogenizer to eliminate all the air still inside it, then
press the homogenizer pressure key and operate on the pressure regulator located on the
homogenizer until reaching the desired homogenizer pressure.
With the pump for circulation of the mixture, the test liquid at 55 °C is withdrawn from the
constant level tank and sent to the recovery section of the exchanger where it is heated to 76
°C thanks to the heat supplied by the same liquid during cooling. (Since initially there is no
liquid at high temperature, in the other circuit of the recovery section, initially in this phase there
is no increase in temperature of the test liquid).
17) The test liquid, from the recovery section, passes into the homogenizer and then to the
exchanger (pasteurization section) where, thanks to the hot water coming from the heating unit,
it reaches the temperature of pasteurization of 85 °C.
(During the first pasteurization, since in the recovery section there has not been an increase in
temperature, the set temperature of pasteurization is not reached straight away but the test
liquid must recirculate several times between the constant level tank, homogenizer and
pasteurization section before reaching the set temperature).
After the pasteurization section, the test liquid passes into the stand-by pipe, at the end of
which a probe determines the temperature. If it is lower than the temperature desired, the test
liquid returns to the constant level tank to repeat the heating cycle until it reaches the
temperature of pasteurization.
If, instead, the temperature is equal to or greater than the one set (85 °C), the machine enters
into AUTOMATIC cycle. The control valve of the mixture flow changes position, making the
liquid proceed towards the recovery section, to start its cooling and simultaneously reheat the
liquid in heating phase. Having started at this point the litre counter so that the mains water can
pass into the exchanger, cool the test liquid and flow into the second tank at a temperature of
approximately 58 °C.
In the recovery section, the test liquid passes from 85 °C to 64 °C (while in the heating phase it
passes from 55 °C to 76 °C). It then enters the pre-cooling section where from 64 °C it drops to
34 °C to then pass into the final cooling section where it will be chilled to 4 °C.
Then check that the water, used as test liquid, coming out of the exchanger, has a temperature
of approximately 4 °C and that the flow corresponds to the flow of the machine. (Example:
TEKNOMIX HTST 2000 = 2000 l/h).
The water necessary for the preparation of the mixture is sent to the tank selected, in the quantity
set on the litre counter. Simultaneously all the solid ingredients will be poured into the same tank
through the powder mixer.
The agitator of the tank together with the powder mixer (Ref. 04), takes care of mixing the
ingredients. The heating system, which could be a steam one, with gas or electric boiler, supplies
the water at high temperature, which through the hot water pump (Ref. 15), is sent into the air
space of the tank selected, to heat the mixture contained in it up to 55 °C.
At this point the mixture is sent by the feed pump (Ref. 03-B), to the constant level tank (Ref. 05),
from this tank the circulation pump (Ref. 03-C) withdraws the mixture and sends it to the
exchanger, recovery section (Ref. 07-B).
In this section the mixture is heated to 76 °C thanks to the energy supplied by the mixture that is
cooling. The mixture then enters the homogenizer (Ref. 08), where the molecules of fat are
crushed and reduced in volume thanks to the high homogenization pressure.
From the homogenizer the mixture passes to the exchanger, pasteurization section (Ref. 07-A),
where it reaches a temperature of 85 °C, thanks to the action of the hot water coming from the
heating unit.
The mixture then passes into the stand-by pipe (Ref. 10) where it remains for 40 seconds without
variations in temperature. At the end of the pause, a probe determines the temperature of the
mixture: if it is lower than the preset temperature of pasteurization, the specific flow control valve of
mixture makes it return to the constant level tank to repeat the heating cycle and the
homogenization.
If instead it is equal or greater than the preset temperature of pasteurization, the mixture continues,
by starting the cooling phase and entering into the recovery section where it is cooled to 64 °C
thanks to the transfer of energy (therefore heat) to the mixture in heating phase.
From here the mixture passes directly to the pre-cooling section (Ref. 07-C) of the heat exchanger
where it is pre-cooled to 34 °C thanks to the action of the mains water; then passes into the cooling
section (Ref. 07-D) of the exchanger where it is further chilled to 4 °C, by means of frozen water.
The frozen water comes from a specific tub, normally located beside the machine.
The mixture thus obtained is sent automatically to the ripening vats, where it will rest for
approximately 8 hours before it can be used for the production of ice cream.
Then the preparation of the next mixture can be started by selecting the tank not used in the first
mixture and sending the necessary water with all the ingredients.
The time necessary for all the mixture contained in the first tank to be homogenized, pasteurized
and sent to the ripening vats, which is about 1 hour, corresponds to the time necessary to pour
and mix all the ingredients in the second tank.
The mains water, used for the pre-cooling of the mixtures, exits the exchanger with a temperature
of approximately 58 °C and is sent to the empty tank for the preparation of the next mixture.
This process, together with interchange of heat in the recovery section of the exchanger (mixture
during heating cools the mixture being cooled and the mixture in the cooling phase heats the
mixture being warmed) lowers considerably the energy consumption of the TEKNOMIX-HTST
machine.

Preliminary operations
Before starting production make sure that:
02 04
01
1) Set on the litre counter the quantity of water necessary for the preparation of the mixture.
2) Select the first tank using the select tank key and start the litre counter using the start litre
counter key.
5) When the water in the tank has reached about one third of the set quantity, start the agitator
and powder mixer and begin to pour in the solid ingredients: powdered milk, sugar, fats (these
last can be added if the temperature of the mixture being prepared has reached at least 40 °C)
and stabilizers/emulsifiers in sequence.
6) When all the water and the ingredients have been added and mixed and the temperature of the
mixture has reached the set value of 55 °C, select the second tank in order to open the mixture
outtake valve of the first tank and prepare for heating and loading water into the second tank.
Wait a few seconds so that the mixture fills the whole outtake pipe then start the mixture feed
pump: the mixture is sent in a continuous manner to the tank at constant level.
7) Enable the pasteurization warm-up, set in the specific window the desired temperature of
mixture pasteurization (85 °C) and the relative hot water temperature (90 °C) which must heat
the mixture: the hot water coming from the heating unit will start to circulate even in the
pasteurization section of the exchanger.
9) Start the mixture circulation pump with the specific key; the mixture is sent to the exchanger
from the constant level tank (recovery section) where the preheating occurs and then to the
homogenizer.
10) Start the homogenizer; wait another few seconds to allow the homogenizer to eliminate all the
air still inside it, then press the homogenizer pressure key and operate the pressure regulator
located on the homogenizer until the desired homogenizer pressure is reached. The mixture in
outtake from the homogenizer continues towards the exchanger (pasteurization section) where
it reaches the temperature set at 85 °C; then enters the stand-by pipe where it remains without
variations in temperature for 40 seconds.
ATTENTION
Initially, the desired temperature will not be reached instantly since the heating action of the liquid
to high temperature during the cooling phase is missing. Therefore, the mixture after the pause will
return to the constant level tank to be recirculated a few times until it reaches the correct
temperature.
ATTENTION
Some water could have remained in the pipes: to avoid having it return to the constant level tank,
blending with the mixture, the pipe of return mixture in discharge should be moved, allow all the
water to discharge and then reposition this pipe on top of the constant level tank.
11) Set the litre counter for the quantity of water necessary for the preparation of the second
mixture, then start the litre counter until the mains water passes into the exchanger, cool the
mixture and let it flow into the second tank at a temperature of approximately 58 °C. If the
quantity of water necessary for the preparation of the second mixture is identical to the first
mixture, it is not necessary to set this quantity since it has remained in memory.
12) At the end of the stand-by pipe a specific probe checks the temperature of the mixture. If below
the set temperature, the control mixture flow valve returns the mixture to the constant level tank
to be recirculated until it reaches the correct temperature. If instead the temperature of the
mixture is equal to or greater than the set temperature of pasteurization, then the mixture
continues its cycle entering the recovery section where a first cooling occurs then into the pre-
cooling section and finally into the cooling section. From this section, the mixtures exits at
approximately 5 °C and is sent to the ripening vats.
ATTENTION
The water that remained in the pipes or in the exchanger could come out instead of the mixture.
Discharge all the water before sending the mixture to the ripening vat. When one stops the
homogenizer, it is not necessary to unscrew the pressure regulator but only to disable the
homogenizer pressure. In this way, the next time the homogenizer is restarted there will be no
problems for its components.
13) Now it is possible to start the preparation of another mixture in the second tank by repeating
the same operations performed for the preparation of the first mixture. When, during the
homogenization phase, the level of the mixture in the tank drops to about one third, it is
recommended to stop the agitator to avoid incorporating air into the mixture. The production of
mixtures can continue without stop, by always alternating the pasteurization in one tank and
the homogenization in the other until end of production.
ATTENTION
The TEKNOMIX HTST machine in based on the recovery of heat from the mixture in the cooling
phase to the one in preparation/heating phase. Therefore, to function correctly, the mixtures being
prepared must be of the same capacity. If mixtures of smaller quantity than the standard must be
prepared, it is recommended to prepare them at the end of the day.
When starting the machine, for safety reasons, only those engineers directly assigned must be
present, in order to avoid eventual risks to the operators not typically assigned to the start-up of the
machine.
Following are the most important definitions which appear in this manual.
Operator
The term operator is applied to personnel capable of ordinary use and cleaning of the machine.
Qualified personnel
• A technical training that authorizes them to operate in accordance with the safety standards in
relation to the dangers that the presence of electricity, circuits under pressure, etc….can
represent.
• A technical training or in any case specific instruction relative to the procedures of use and
maintenance of the machine under safe conditions.
1) When the last mixture of the day starts to homogenize, set on the litre counter a quantity of
water equal to the capacity of the tank in order to fill completely the empty tank.
2) When the mixture being homogenized is about to finish, disable the homogenizer pressure and
allow the homogenizer to run without pressure until finishing the mixture. This manoeuvre
serves to avoid breaks in the homogenizing head (Please refer to the homogenizer manual)
3) When the mixture is finished, select the other thank, so that the mixture outtake valve of this
tank is closed and open the mixture outtake valve of the tank containing water.
4) Leave the mixture feed pump, circulation mixture pump and homogenizer running until water
does not comes out of the mixture outtake pipe, then stop the circulation mixture pump and the
homogenizer. Disconnect the mixture outtake pipe from the ripening vat and put it into
discharge.
5) Close the mains water and frozen water shut-off valves located on the exchanger. Open the
BY-PASS valve of the homogenizer, then restart the circulation mixture pump and the
homogenizer without pressure.
6) Let it run for approximately 10 minutes after which stop both the pumps and the homogenizer
and proceed with the washing of the machine.
Emergency stop
If, during production, it became necessary to immediately deactivate all the functions of the
machine, press the emergency button (Red mushroom type).
All the functions will be deactivated and it will not be possible to restart them until the button is
released by turning it clockwise.
To resume production, release therefore the emergency button and repeat the sequences of start-
up described in the paragraph START-UP OF THE MACHINE.
ATTENTION
The emergency stop eliminates the risks associated with the moving parts of the whole machine.
Should it be necessary to work on the inside of the machine, use the necessary personal safety
devices.
• Electric panel;
• Light;
• Auxiliary button panel.
NOTE
When an additional method of coding is used (example: structure, form, position) for the
identification of the button actuators, the same white, grey or black colour can be utilized for
various functions (example: white for start and stop actuators).

SYSTEM Page
From the main screen, pushing on icon TEKNOICE opens the SYSTEM page.
Pushing on MACHINE DATA opens the relevant page, where are shown main data machine, such
as model, serial number electric / pneumatic characteristics, etc…
In this page it is possible to save the modifications of a recipe, to create a new recipe, to transfer or
delete a recipe.
ATTENTION: the following operations influence the working of the plant. It is therefore advisable to
do them only when the plant is not working and with care.
Save a recipe – push the second symbol, down left (with blue arrow), recipe can be saved on the
screen or on the micro memory card. It is suggested to save on both.
Delay a recipe – push the last symbol (showing a basket); it is possible to delete only from panel or
also from PLC.
Create a new recipe – push the fifth symbol (insert row), it appears an empty row. It is now
possible to insert manually all the values, or (suggested way) pushing the forth symbol to copy all
the parameters of the actually using recipe. Name the new recipe, modifying eventually the
parameters you wish, then save as above mentioned.
Transfer a recipe – select the desired recipe, then transfer it pushing the third symbol on PLC. This
will become operative.
Pushing on third icon of system page you exit from password mode. For example, after digiting the
password to enter into protected pages, to not let other operators not authorized, could modify the
parameters it is enough to push this icon.
Always from system page, pushing the forth icon it opens the active alarms page.
While it is possible to cancel the alarms from the list “ACTIVE ALARMS” if already recognized, it is
not possible to cancel those from “ALLARM HISTORY”.
From system page pushing the flags icon, it opens the language selection page.
To change a language you must digit the password and then press on the language you want.
From system page, pushing the sixth icon, it opens the allarm visualization page.
So, it is possible to choose how to show alarms (never, always, every new alarms).
From system page, pushing “lamp” icon you run the lamps test, while, pushing the “lifesaver” icon,
you open the save / reset original parameters page.
Pushing on GLOBAL RESET or on GLOBAL SAVE RESET according on what you want to do.
The two functions are under a protection level, higher for the save/reset.
Push the reset symbol (transfer to PLC) to recall all the original parameters or the ones previously
saved as global.
The function GLOBAL RESET must be used in case of serious anomalies or malfunctioning or
wrong sets into the operator panel or in particular cases such as the replacement of the CPU.
To safe any modification of the original “factory parameters”, push the forth symbol to read from
PLC and than push the second symbol to save these parameters on the panel memory and/or on
micro memory card (in the same already descripted way for the recipies).
From the main page, pushing one of the two icons showing the tanks, opens the TEST MODE.
On this page it is possible to select a different tank and also to visualize the quantity of water
actually dosed (ACTUAL), the quantity of water previously poured (PREV) and the total quantity of
utilized water (TOTAL).
PRECOOLING sets the total pre cooling time referred to the mix in a tank. During this time, the

Safety precautions
According to the DIN 31051 standard, the concept of “MAINTENANCE” includes the following
fields of activity:
Inspection
Inspection comprises actions intended to recognise the actual condition, or rather, to identify the
reasons and ways with which the wear condition decreases.
Restore
Restore includes the actions designed to obtain the desired condition, namely to compensate for
reduction of performance and to restore the wear condition.
The personnel in charge of running and maintaining the apparatus must be well trained and must
have an in-depth knowledge of the accident prevention rules.
Unauthorised personnel must remain outside the work area during maintenance operations.
The accident prevention precautions must always be strictly observed when running and
maintaining the apparatus, so as to prevent injuries to personnel and damage to the equipment.
These precautions will be quoted and explained in further detail as WARNING and DANGER notes
each time a procedure involving risk of damage or injury is required.
• The WARNING notes precede an operation that may cause damage to the equipment if
performed incorrectly.
• The DANGER notes precede an operation that may expose the operator to risk if performed
incorrectly.
It is well to remember that maintenance operations performed properly can reduce downtime
following a breakdown to a minimum. A repair carried out at the right time prevents further
deterioration.
Whenever possible, use original spares and carefully repair the failed component at your plant or
send it for repair directly to Teknoice S.r.l.
Contact the Teknoice S.r.l Technical Service for problems that may arise or to order spares.
Maintenance warnings
ATTENTION
Disconnect the power supply to the machine and the pressure in the pneumatic circuit when
performing maintenance operations.
ATTENTION
MAINTENANCE
IN PROGRESS
3. Solvents for any cleaning must be used very carefully, paying special attention to cables.
4. Do not modify or tamper with the machine structure, the operation sequence or anything else
without notifying Teknoice S.r.l. in writing.
5. Maintenance operations must be logged in the tables found in this chapter with date, type of
operation and the signature of whoever performed the operation.
General information
Record the individual functions to submit for inspection and maintenance in relevant tables or lists
in order to keep a history of the operations carried out and to be checked by collaborators of
different levels of training as well.
• Date;
• Type of operation;
• Signature of whoever performed the operation.
The inspection items must be differentiated in terms of checking frequency, for example on a daily,
weekly, or monthly basis. They must also be carried out shortly before a lengthy system shutdown,
for example before company holidays.
The maintenance and inspection operations prescribed by rules of law are to be carried out
regardless of the goals tied to preservation of functionality as they serve to ensure the safety of the
personnel in charge of operation and to prevent possible material damage. Appropriate
documentation of these operations must be kept.
To repair the machine, the technical documentation and the most important measurement
instruments must be kept within reach at the work place in order to shorten the search for
breakdowns as much as possible.
If the safety devices are removed, check that they have been replaced and are operating
before restarting the machine.
Any cleaning with the use of solvents must be done very carefully, paying special attention to
electric cables. Do not use organic solvents in the proximity of heated surfaces. Using water-based
solvents is recommended.
Personnel qualification
The maintenance operations can be performed in safety conditions by specialised personnel
qualified for use, preparation and maintenance after the recommendations and instructions
furnished by this manual have been carefully read and understood.

At the end of production, manually empty and wash the tanks and the mixture filters (Ref. 06), then
proceed as follows to accurately wash:
10 08
05
03
C
06 07
ATTENTION!
Locate the zone to intervene and lock the main switch to the OFF position using the relevant padlock, after having disabled all
components.
Place the “MACHINE UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE – DO NOT SWITCH ON POWER SUPPLY” sign next to the main
switch. Then disconnect the safety devices and any guards.
The operator is working in a risk environment. He/she must therefore follow these rules:
• Personnel authorised for this activity must be knowledgeable of the procedures to be carried out, all potential dangers they
are exposed to during the operation, and proper use of the safety devices installed on the system.
• The operator must also pay attention and act with circumspection.
• Before starting inspection and maintenance operations, maintenance personnel must disable the system and use all safety
and preventive measures contemplated.
1) On the litre counter, set an amount of water equal to about one third of the tank capacity.
2) Select the left tank using the specific tank selection key, open the mains water on-off valve
located on the exchanger and start the litre counter. Enable the tank heating by the relevant
button.
3) At the end of the water loading into the tank, start the agitator of the same tank and add a
maximum percentage of 1% caustic soda to the water contained into the tank.
4) Make sure that the frozen water 3-way valve is in washing position, that is, that no frozen water
is circulating in the exchanger.
5) While heating the washing solution, start the powder mixing pump so as to wash all the piping,
including the pump. Stop the powder mixer pump once the tank heating temperature has been
reached (55°C)
ATTENTION
A water and caustic soda solution or a high temperature acid solution will come out of this piping.
Be very careful.
7) When the basic solution has reached the preset temperature of 55 °C, open the mixture outlet
valve of the left tank, open the homogenizer by-pass valve, set the mixture flow control selector
to AUTO and start the pasteurization heating, mixture transfer pump, mixture circulation pump
and homogenizer.
8) The washing solution will reach the constant level tank and hence, through the circulation
pump, it will flow through the recovery section, the homogenizer, the pasteurization section, the
stand-by piping, the flow control valve, and will return to the constant level tank until the preset
temperature of 85 °C is reached.
9) Once this temperature has been reached, the washing solution will flow from the flow control
valve to the other circuit of the recovery section, to the pre-cooling section, to the cooling
section and then to the unloading mixture output piping. Let all the solution flow, until the tank
is empty, then stop both pumps, the homogenizer and the pasteurization heating.
10) Rinse the left tank to remove any residues of the caustic soda solution, then press the litre
counter run key again.
11) While filling the tank, start the powder mixing pump so as to rinse all the piping, including the
pump.
12) Wait until the end of the litre counter counting, then restart the mixture transfer pump, the
mixture circulation pump and the homogenizer. After a few minutes, set the mixture control
selector to MAN. In this way, the rinsing water continues irrespective of its temperature. Let all
the rinsing water flow, then stop both pumps and the homogenizer.
14) Wait until the inflow of water into the tank has finished, then start the heating, the left tank
agitator, and add an amount of citric or acetic acid to the water into the tank to allow reaching
an acidity of the solution equal to PH = 4.
15) While heating the washing solution, start the powder mixing pump so as to recirculate the acid
solution in all the piping, including the pump. Stop the powder mixer pump once the tank
heating temperature has been reached (55°C)
16) When the acid solution has reached the preset temperature of 55 °C, open the mixture outlet
valve of the left tank, set the mixture flow control selector to AUTO and start the pasteurization
heating, mixture transfer pump, mixture circulation pump and homogenizer.
17) The washing solution will reach the constant level tank and hence, through the circulation
pump, it will flow through the recovery section, the homogenizer, the pasteurization section, the
stand-by piping, the flow control valve, and will return to the constant level tank until the preset
temperature of 85 °C is reached.
18) Once this temperature has been reached, the washing solution will flow from the flow control
valve to the other circuit of the recovery section, to the pre-cooling section, to the cooling
section and then to the unloading mixture output piping. Let all the solution flow, until the tank
is empty, then stop both pumps, the homogenizer and the pasteurization heating.
19) Rinse the first tank to remove any residues of the acid solution, then press the litre counter run
key again.
20) While filling the tank, start the powder mixing pump so as to rinse all the piping, including the
pump.
21) Wait until the end of the litre counter counting, then restart the mixture transfer pump, the
mixture circulation pump and the homogenizer. After a few minutes, set the mixture control
selector to MAN. In this way, the rinsing water continues irrespective of its temperature. Let all
the rinsing water flow, then stop both pumps and the homogenizer.
22) Prepare the left tank with about 200 litres disinfecting solution. Start the powder mixing
pump so as to fill the pipes and the pump with the disinfecting solution. Open the mixture outlet
valve, start the mixture transfer pump, mixture circulation pump and homogenizer and let them
run until the disinfecting solution starts coming out of the mixture outlet piping. Stop both
pumps and the homogenizer, disable the boiler by the relevant switch and set the master
switch to OFF.
23) Leave the disinfecting solution into the machine until its next use, then drain and rinse with
clean water before starting a new production.
ATTENTION
Run a complete washing once a week. On the other days, perform a basic wash and rinsing.
During the entire washing cycle, the homogenizer must operate without pressure to prevent
useless wear of the components.

Operator: 1
The machine is fitted with a pressure/filter reduction unit, with automatic condensation discharge,
which allows using compressed air even if not previously treated.
The pneumatic system, which controls the homogenisation pressure and the pasteurization water
and mixture flow, does not require special maintenance.
ATTENTION!
Locate the zone to intervene and lock the main switch to the OFF position using the relevant padlock, after having disabled all
components.
Place the “MACHINE UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE – DO NOT SWITCH ON POWER SUPPLY” sign next to the main
switch. Then disconnect the safety devices and any guards.
The operator is working in a risk environment. He/she must therefore follow these rules:
• Personnel authorised for this activity must be knowledgeable of the procedures to be carried out, all potential dangers they
are exposed to during the operation, and proper use of the safety devices installed on the system.
• The operator must also pay attention and act with circumspection.
• Before starting inspection and maintenance operations, maintenance personnel must disable the system and use all safety
and preventive measures contemplated.
The operating pressure for the working circuit (6 bar) is set by the regulator and displayed on the
attached gauge.
The pressure of the supply network must always be at least 1 bar higher than the pressure of the
working circuit so that any pressure changes cannot jeopardise good operation of the pneumatic
circuit.
ATTENTION
Never clean the filter transparent le cups with alcohol, but use petrol or oil.
Pressure switch
The pressure switch in the figure (similar to that used on the system) must be adjusted to a
pressure of 4 bar in order for the machine to operate properly. It can be adjusted with a screwdriver
or with an Allen wrench. In this way the machine will not start with a pressure lower than the set
pressure.
Solenoid valves
The ISO 1, ISO 2 and ISO 3 type of pneumatic solenoid valves shown in the figure can be
controlled manually by applying pressure in points B, as seen in the figure.
Pressure regulator
A pressure regulator allows the pressure on the pneumatic circuit to be adjusted to 6 bar by turning
the knob as seen in the figure and checking the setting on the gauge. Remember that the pressure
of the network supplying the machine must be slightly higher than 6 bar (about one bar higher, so
as to not jeopardise regular machine operation).
Flow regulator
The flow regulator is normally applied close to the use (pneumatic cylinder). Adjustment is made
with a screwdriver and its purpose is to slow down (clockwise) or increase (counter-clockwise) the
speed of the movement.

Operator: 1
As a standard, the exchanger does not require maintenance if the washes have been carried out
regularly and properly.
If required, open the exchanger when cold, to prevent the detachment of the seals if opened when
hot.
Remove the plates for an accurate cleaning or replacement of the seals, proceeding as follows:
2) Slide the front plate on its tracks, so as to leave space to remove the other plates.
ATTENTION
All the plates are numbered, during reassembly be careful and insert the plates according to the
progressive numbering.
ATTENTION!
Locate the zone to intervene and lock the main switch to the OFF position using the relevant padlock, after having disabled all
components.
Place the “MACHINE UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE – DO NOT SWITCH ON POWER SUPPLY” sign next to the main

• The operator must also pay attention and act with circumspection.
• Before starting inspection and maintenance operations, maintenance personnel must disable the system and use all safety
and preventive measures contemplated.
4) Remove all the plates, then put them in a 1 - 3 % basic solution with a temperature of 80 - 90
°C and let them immersed for 6 - 8 hours. In these conditions, seals and mastic soften and
make removal easier.
5) The adhesive residues must be fully removed using tools that will not damage the plate
surface.
6) Finally, degrease the surface where you will place the new seals using solvent (chlorine-free)
so as to be ready for the application of the adhesive.
7) Spread a light adhesive layer on the seals and on the relevant seats on the plates. Wait a few
minutes, then insert the seal into the plate channel.
8) The plates with new seals must be stacked so that their weight exerts a specific pressure on
the seals, ensuring perfect adherence to the plate.
9) Place the plates into the exchanger according to the progressive number and tighten the
exchanger to the minimum value indicated on the annexed drawing.
ATTENTION
Never use glues or solvents containing chlorine as they may cause damages to the plates.
