THE HESS SLICER RECONDITIONING PROCESS
THE PICTURES BELOW
SHOW YOU THE HESS PROCESS FOR RECONDITIONING A BERKEL SLICER.
REMOVE AUTOMATIC
PORTION FROM SLICER. REPLACE AUTOMATIC BELTS. INSPECT ANCHOR ARMS AND DRIVE ARM
ASSEMBLY, SHIFT LEVER, DETENT PLATE, HIGH AND LOW SPEED RODS. AFTER THESE
INSPECTIONS ARE MADE, PARTS THAT ARE OUT OF TOLERANCE ARE REPLACED AND
RE-ALIGNED. ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE TO FACTORY SPECS. THIS SLICER ALSO HAD THE
MOTOR REPLACED.
INSPECTION OF
TOP PORTION OF AUTO SLICER CONSISTS OF ALWAYS REPLACING THE END PUSHER BUSHINGS
AND CARRIAGE BUSHINGS. DRIVE BELT IS ALSO REPLACED. INSPECTION OF INDEX ASSEMBLY
IS PERFORMED, THICKNESS GAUGE IS ADJUSTED. STONES ARE REPLACED, SHARPENER IS
ADJUSTED TO BLADE SIZE. THE BLADE SIZE IS DETERMINED AND REPLACED IF OUT OF
FACTORY TOLERANCE. ALL FUNCTIONS ARE THOROUGHLY TESTED BY A SUPERVISOR. THE
MACHINE THEN HAS THE NECESSARY SAFETY STICKERS ATTACHED. THE LAST STEP FOR THE
MACHINE IS TO BE CLEANED, POLISHED AND LUBRICATED.
SAFETY TRAINING
AND SLICER TRAINING IS PROVIDED, ALONG WITH AN OPERATOR'S MANUAL. WE CAN ALSO
PROVIDE SAFETY GLOVES AND SLICER CLEANING BRUSHES.
