It is important that all personnel who will be operating or maintaining the machine
participate in training sessions given by an AMF Bakery Systems service
representative during installation.
Electrical interlocks and locking latches are installed on guards and panels to protect
the production operator from hazards. These interlocks stop operation if a guard or
panel is opened or removed. Do not remove, tamper with or modify these interlocks at
any time. Inoperable interlocks could result in death, personal injury or damage to the
machine.
SAFETY INFORMATION and SYMBOLS
Safety features have been designed into the machine and hazardous areas marked.
Please have all personnel read and understand this manual prior to operating,
maintaining, or servicing this machine.
Throughout this manual, you’ll see safety messages that identify potential hazards.
These messages warn of situations that could be hazardous.
Danger Symbol
The danger symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation,

which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Use of
the word danger is limited to the most extreme situations. Danger is
identified by the color red.
Warning Symbol
The warning symbol identifies areas or practices which, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Warning is
identified by the color orange.

7
Caution Symbol
The caution symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation,

which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may
also be used to alert against unsafe practices. The color yellow
identifies caution.
Notations
Notes indicate a situation, which may cause damage to the machine. The color blue
identifies notes.
GENERAL OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Many accidents can be prevented by knowing about and practicing safety. Prevent
hazards by reading the safety warnings in this manual and alert others.
Maintain your machine according to this manual’s guidelines.
Lock off and tag the main power switch before maintenance or
service.
Keep fingers, feet, hair and loose clothing away from moving
parts.
Keep electric power panel closed and locked at all times.
Only authorized maintenance personnel are allowed to access

the power panel.
Do not remove, tamper with or modify the safety interlocks.
Do not reach into, lean against, climb on or get under the

machine. Always follow the lock off / tag out procedures.
Never allow anyone to remove product from machine while it is

in operation.
Electrical interlocks can be and frequently have been observed to be “over-

ridden” by mechanically holding the interlocks in the closed position or by
alterations in the electrical circuit to by-pass the interlock. The practice of “over-
riding” or “by-passing” an electrical interlock renders ineffective the extra hazard
protection intended.
8
All AMF equipment has been designed and manufactured to conform to or exceed the
design requirements of ANSI Z50.1-1988, “Safety Requirements for Bakery
Equipment.” It is incumbent upon the owner and operator of this equipment, to operate
and maintain equipment in accordance with good safety practices and the requirements
of ANSI Z50.1-1988 and later versions thereof.
Equipment described in this manual has been carefully designed and manufactured to
our high quality standards. Special attention has been devoted to convenience of
operation while simultaneously providing effective hazard protection for operating
personnel.
Any piece of machinery can become dangerous to personnel when improperly operated
or poorly maintained. Our service personnel are highly skilled and competent in
operation and maintenance of our equipment, which is installed under their supervision.
A major portion of installation supervision time is devoted to instruction and training of
your personnel in the operation and maintenance of this equipment. It is incumbent
upon you that all personnel who will be expected to operate or maintain this equipment
participate in these training and instruction sessions.
Many pieces of industrial equipment, including AMF equipment, utilize electrical

interlocks on certain guards and access doors. The use of such interlocks is intended
to provide increased hazard protection for your employees and particularly for careless
operators. Your special attention is directed toward the need for rigid enforcement of
safe operating methods and the need for proper maintenance of all safety devices.
Electrical interlocks are located on machines so that the machine will not operate when
interlocked guards or panels are removed or opened. In fact, an inoperable interlock
can be more hazardous than no interlock because operators become dependent upon
interlocks stopping a machine when guards or access doors so equipped are opened
or removed. Subsequent immobilization of such interlocks can thus increase—rather
than decrease—hazardous exposure.
The most effective hazard protection for your employees is a rigidly enforced safety
program, which includes effective training in safe operating methods. Supplementary
methods of improved hazard protection, such as electrical interlocks, are useful to the
extent that they are rigidly maintained in an operable condition. Our service
department can assist you with your training and maintenance programs.

Safety Requirements
Note: ANSI Z50.1-1988 “Safety Requirements of this standard apply to the design,
construction, installation, safe operation and maintenance of bakery machinery
and equipment.”
Contact with moving machinery can cause serious injury.
Keep guards closed. All duties required of an operator (while

machine is operating) can and should be performed with all
guards closed and in their intended location on the machine.
Clean or adjust machine with main power in the “OFF” position.

Correction of any malfunction, cleaning or adjustments should
only be accomplished while machine is stopped and with main
power disconnect switch in the “OFF” position. Before turning
main disconnect switch to the “ON” position, make sure all
guards are returned to their proper location and are closed.
Do not allow operators or anyone to remove bakery products

from the machine while it is in operation. It is hazardous to try to
pull the product from the machine—if caught in the drive belt,
sprockets or any other moving mechanisms, you may lose
fingers, hands or arms.
Do not remove products while machine is running. Do not

operate machine unless all guards and covers are in place and
doors are closed.
Only authorized electricians should be allowed access to interior

power panel. Electric power panel enclosures must be kept
closed and fastened at all times to protect operator from
dangerous circuits within.
Keep hands out of the machine while machine is running.
SPECIAL CLEANING and SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Pinch and Shear Points
When installing AMF equipment for production purposes, caution should be taken not
to create pinch and shear points at the in feed and discharge parts of the machine.
Proper clearances should be allowed when matching up AMF equipment with
conveyors, feeding, and take-away equipment.

10
Disconnect Main Power Supply
Never begin cleaning the machine while the machine is operating and until the main
power panel switch has been deactivated. Move the hand to the “OFF” position. (See
“Daily Sanitation”)
LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES ANSI Z-244.1
Purpose
This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for lockout of energy sources
that could cause injury to personnel. All employees must comply with the procedure.
Responsibility
The responsibility for seeing that this procedure is followed is binding upon all
employees. All employees will be instructed in the importance of safety in the lockout
procedure by (designate individual). Each new or transferred affected employee will be
taught the purpose and use of the lockout procedure by (designate individuals).
Preparation
Employees authorized to perform lockout will be certain as to which switch, valve or

other energy isolating devices apply to the equipment being locked out. More than one
energy source (electrical, mechanical or others) maybe involved. The employees will
clear any questionable identification of sources with their supervisors. Before lockout
starts, job authorization should be obtained.
Note: All equipment will be locked out to protect against accidental or inadvertent
operation when such operation could cause injury to personnel. Do not attempt
to operate any switch, valve or other energy isolating device bearing a lock.

11
The following sample lockout procedure will help you develop a specific lockout
procedure.
Sequence of Lockout Procedure
Notify all affected employees of lockout.
Shut down operating equipment using the normal stopping procedure (depress stop
button, open toggle switch, etc.).
Operate the switch, valve or other energy isolating device so that the energy
source(s) (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, etc.) is disconnected or isolated from
the equipment. Stored energy, such as that in capacitors, springs, elevated
machine members, rotating flywheels, hydraulic systems and air, gas, steam or
water pressure, etc., must also be dissipated or restrained by methods such as
grounding, repositioning, blocking, etc.
Lockout the energy isolating devices with an assigned individual lock.
After ensuring that no personnel are exposed and as a check on having

disconnected the energy sources, operate the push-button or other normal
operating controls to make certain the equipment will not operate.
The equipment is now locked out.
Restoring Equipment to Service
When finished and equipment is ready for testing or service, make sure no one in
equipment area is exposed.
When equipment is clear, remove all locks. You may restore energy to equipment.
Procedure Involving More than One Person
In the preceding steps, if more than one individual is required to lock out equipment,
each person will place his own personal lock on the energy isolating device(s). One
designated individual of a work crew or a supervisor, with the knowledge of the crew,
can lock out equipment for the whole crew. In such cases, it will be the responsibility of
the individual to carry out all steps of the lockout procedure and inform the crew when it
is safe to work on the equipment. The designated individual will not remove a crew
lock until it has been verified that all individuals are clear.

12
Safety Decals
Safety decals identify specific hazards and general safety. Keep them clean and
legible. Never remove a safety decal from the machine. When replacing a part that
has a safety decal, make sure you replace the decal also. For replacement decals, call
your AMF parts representative.

13
SECTION 3: INSTALLATION
Install the Mark 50 Bagger into its approximate position and attach the infeed conveyor,
the infeed conveyor drive, and if required, the pick-off table. Connect the slicer
discharge conveyor to the assembly depending upon the particular hook-up used.
Connect the electrical service to the disconnect switch in the main control panel
(standard: 230 Volts, 60 Hertz, 3 Phases - 15 Amps required). Check direction of
rotation of the 1½ HP motor which should be clockwise while facing the variable speed
pulley.
Connect the air service (60 psi required) to the filter mounted below the infeed
conveyor.
Assemble your closure device to the Mark 50 Bagger per assembly instructions
included with the unit.

14
SECTION 4: OPERATION
OPERATION
The following points should be adhered to for proper operation and efficient product
change over.
1. MACHINE SPEED
The speed of the entire bagging operation is controlled from one source: the control
handle for the adjustable motor base (optional AC inverter). Machine adjustment
must be made only while the machine is running.
2. SCOOPS
Scoops are easily removed and replaced requiring only the removal of one hex nut
each. Sometimes when changing scoop size, product size, and/or bag size, it will
become necessary to make trim adjustments for top scoop travel and bag tension.
3. MAGAZINES
When changing bag sizes it may be necessary to adjust the bag side guide, the
centering of bag with scoop centerline, and occasionally, spring pre-load. The dual
wicket holder is designed so that, as bags are depleted in one magazine, it is possible
to shift a full magazine into its operating position so that there is no down time required.
The magazine stop should be adjusted so that a “solid pull” is achieved when the
second magazine is shifted into its correct operating position.
With experience, operators can become very efficient in this area, however they should
exercise extreme care when shifting bag magazines.

15
4. CONVEYOR GUIDES
The nylon guide rods mounted on the discharge end of the infeed conveyor side guides
should be adjusted as close to the scoops as possible and tilted down slightly. This will
prevent “Heel” loss during transfer into the scoops.
The guide on the discharge conveyor should be adjusted so that it tends to “plow” the
product only slightly toward the closure unit side of the conveyor. Care should be
exercised so that the product does not touch this guide as it reaches the conveyor.
5. “JAM” PROTECTION
An overload sprocket is mounted on the output shaft of the miter gearbox. This
sprocket is driven through another sprocket by means of a replaceable shear pin
(optional resetable overload). This pin will shear when a serious jam occurs in the
infeed conveyor or slicer drive. When the pin shears stop the machine and proceed as
follows:
Remove the shear pin retaining clip and remove the external piece of the pin by
grasping firmly with pliers. Jog or turn machine over by hand until 3/8” diameter
hole in hub lines up with internal piece of broken pin and knock out broken
piece with small diameter drift pin. Broken piece will fall out through large hole
in hub of compound sprocket. Jog or turn machine over by hand until 3/8”
diameter hole in hub lines up with 3/8” hole in compound sprocket and insert
new shear pin. Replace shear pin retaining clip and resume operation.
It is not necessary to remove chains to replace shear pin when the above
instructions are followed. If chains are removed, re-timing of the machine will be
required.

16
BAG SPECIFICATIONS
AMF assumes no responsibility regarding the suitability of the bags for their
intended application. To avoid costly errors, it is recommended that bag sizes be
carefully selected and initial orders kept to minimum quantities pending confirmation of
acceptable operation and finished package appearance.
To assist you in the selection of bags, the following information is offered.
WICKET
While the number of bags on a wicket can vary widely, it is preferable to wicket no
more than 500 bags at one time. This insures easier loading, avoids “lumping”
resulting from double and quadruple layers at different sections of the bags, and
minimizes loss should the wicket pull loose during shipping or handling. The film must
be free to slide up the wicket as bags are depleted. Special attention should be made
as to how the bags are loaded on the wicket. The Mark 50 magazine requires that the
bags be loaded in an upright position with the wicket “legs” pointing downward (see
Detail B, next page).
BAG SIZE
The correct size of the bags to be used should be obtained through close cooperation
with the supplier. However, some general rules which have resulted in acceptable
bags for a given product size are as follows:
BAG WIDTH (dimension “X”) Measure girth of product, ADD 1/2” and
DIVIDE by 2
BAG LENGTH (dimension “Y”) ADD the product length PLUS 2” to 1/2
product width PLUS 1/2 product height
BAG THICKNESS 1-1/4 mil film (0.032 mm)
BAG GUSSET As desired by customer to give product a

neat appearance

17
INITIAL TIMING AND OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS
INFEED CONVEYOR AND TRANSFER
To time the infeed conveyor with the Mark 50 Bagger, the scoop assembly should be
moved to its full forward position. Now set any one flight bar of the conveyor at a point
approximately one inch (1”) back from the forward end of the conveyor deck.
Adherence to this dimension is unnecessary as conditions in bakeries vary, however it
does provide a good initial setting.
Next install the long conveyor drive chain and secure all protective guards.
Now proceed to time the slicer discharge conveyor to the infeed conveyor so that
proper bread transfer is accomplished over the one loaf dead plate.
SCOOPS
The scoops should be set so that the bag pick-up ends of both scoops are parallel and
on the same centerline in their forward most position.
Scoops of the same size (i.e. 4-3/8” top scoop and 4-3/8” bottom scoop) will provide
proper operation in most instances. However, in some cases open top loaves will
require a top scoop which is larger than the bottom scoop (i.e. 4-7/8” top scoop and 4-
3/8” bottom scoop).
When a bakery has several different sets of scoops to meet their production
requirements, it is good practice to set the relationship of the top scoop to the top
scoop plate, in such a manner that when changing from one product size to another a
minimum amount of adjustment is required for proper bag tension. Normally sufficient
bag tension can be obtained by rotation of the bag tensioner device located on the top
scoop connecting rod (optional external scoop tensioner device).

18
The amount of travel of the top scoop may be adjusted by moving the pivot point of the
top scoop connecting rod in the slot provided in the scoop control bell crank. Moving
the connecting rod away from the bell crank pivot increases the total up and down
travel of the top scoop. More travel is required to enter small diameter bags. It should
be noted that too much travel might cause the scoops to make contact resulting in
excessive noise and wear.
BAG MAGAZINE
The centering device should be adjusted so that when a bag magazine is shifted into its
operating position, it is centered with the centerline of the bottom scoop.
It should be noted that another adjustment is possible: the distance between a full
wicket and the bottom scoop (usually 3/4”).
AIR SYSTEM
The air system on the Mark 50 Bagger is divided into 2 separate areas each of which
should be adjusted independent of the other.
Bag inflation system
During initial set-up, the bag inflation system requires close attention. A “Manual Air”
push-button is provided for set-up purposes so that the machine needs not be run while
these adjustments are made.
The bag inflation system consists of 3 components:
1) The air block which is used to initially open the bag

2) The manifold block
3) The secondary air jets
Components 2 and 3 are used to “round out” the bag once it has been opened by the
air block.
Air sources are controlled by needle valves located below the infeed conveyor.
Pressure is important for the air block while volume is the important consideration for
the manifold block and the secondary air jets.

19
DISCHARGE CONVEYOR
The discharge conveyor flight chain should be timed so that the product drops just prior
to contact with any flight. Next proceed to time the closure unit to the discharge
conveyor with instructions contained therein.
BLOCKADE
The blockade operating rod should be adjusted so that the blockade plate, in its
forward most position is just slightly (1/8”) short of the plane of the infeed conveyor side
guide.

20
SECTION 5: SANITATION

21
This section pertains to general sanitation procedures for the Bagger. Read this
chapter and train sanitation personnel thoroughly before cleaning the machine.
Never clean any part of the machine while the equipment is operating and until
the main power panel switch is lockout and tagged, especially under the
machine.
Death or severe personal injury could result from electrical shock or entanglement with
the machine. Electrical interlocks, guards and other safety devices are incorporated
into the design of the machine. The interlocks shut machine operation down when
certain guards and doors are opened while the machine is running. Do not remove or
override these interlocks at any time. Inoperable interlocks could result in death,
personal injury or damage to the machine.
Daily Sanitation
Lockout and tagout power at the main disconnect.
Open all doors and blow out crumbs from the inside of the machine using a low
pressure air soufflet.
Clean out all crumbs from crumb chute.
Wipe down entire machine with a damp rag.
Shut all doors and relock interlocks.

22
SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
The Mark 50 Bagger has been designed to give many years of excellent service.
However, it is necessary to perform routine maintenance to keep the machine in top
working order and prevent undue wear.
A well-established program of preventive maintenance can result in longer machine life

and superior machine operation. Disconnect electric power to the machine before
starting any machine maintenance to insure the safety of personnel performing this
maintenance. A lockable type main disconnect switch is provided for this purpose.
DRIVE CHAINS
The discharge conveyor flight chain and all drive chains are equipped with spring
loaded idler sprockets which, under normal conditions, maintain proper chain tension.
These idlers will normally need no maintenance, however, they should be checked
periodically. In the event that a drive chain becomes too slack, the chain should be
replaced or shorten one-half link at a time until proper tension is achieved, or change
the spring.
GEAR BOXES
The miter gearbox and worm reducer were filled with oil at our plant and will not
normally need to be changed.
DRIVE AREA
It is important that foreign objects not be allowed to accumulate in the drive area of the
machine. A small screw or washer could cause considerable damage to vital machine
parts. Therefore, it is suggested that during routine maintenance of your machine, the
drive area should be checked and cleared of all foreign objects.

23
INFEED CONVEYOR
The flight chains of the infeed conveyor are not equipped with an automatic take-up
device. Consequently, the flight chains should be checked periodically and adjusted to
maintain proper tension. Proper tension is essential for product transfer.
AIR SYSTEM
The air filter should be drained daily and even more often if there is considerable water
in the plant’s air lines (water in the air system can cause unreliable bag inflation).

24
LUBRICATION
Lubrication of moving machine parts is vital for the life of your machine. The following
list cites areas of the machine which require lubrication. Although the machine may
run fine without lubrication, the need for it appears only when it is too late. In the areas
listed, any acceptable bearing grease may be used. All excessive oil and grease
should be removed from machine parts after lubrication.
SCOOP SHUTTLE
The wick feed oiler mounted on the scoop shuttle should be checked regularly and
half filled with SAE # 10 or # 20 weight oil (non detergent). Filling above this level will
result in an overflow and possible product contamination.
SCOOP DRIVE LINKAGE
Both ends of the scoop driving rod should be greased every 150 to 200 hours of
operation. All pivot rod end bearings on the scoop drive mechanism should also be
greased on a bi-monthly basis.
CAM FOLLOWERS
The 2 cam followers should be greased bi-monthly.
BEARINGS
All bearings (pillow blocks, flanged cartridge units, etc.) located on the base plate,
discharge conveyor and infeed conveyor should be greased bi-monthly.
VARIABLE PULLEY
The gearing variable pitch pulley mounted on the motor shaft should be greased on a
monthly basis if near constant machine speed is used.
In the event that machine speed is changed often, then the pulley should be greased
bi-monthly.

25
ROLLER CHAIN
Lightly oil (SAE # 10 or # 20 weight) all drive roller chains once a week.
DISCHARGE CHAIN
To prevent undue wear, the discharge conveyor flight chain should be cleaned weekly
and a very light amount of oil applied. Excessive oiling can result in package marking.

26
MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRIC MOTORS
Motors on AMF’s equipment are of sufficient power to drive the unit to which they are
attached without excessive heating. If however, a motor does heat, it is advisable to
communicate with E.T.M.W. or with the nearest service office of the manufacturer of the
motor.
To ensure best operation, make a systematic routine inspection of all motors.
CLEANLINESS
Keep both the interior and exterior of motors and controls free from dirt, water and oil.
Motors operating in dirty or dusty places should be periodically disassembled and
thoroughly cleaned. Dry compressed air at moderate pressure, hand bellows, or
vacuum cleaner are recommended for cleaning machines, especially where dust is
constantly suspended in the air. Motors so located should be blown out every week to
prevent excessive accumulation on the windings.
When the motor feels too hot, check the actual temperature with a thermometer. Do
not depend upon the hand, as it is impossible to comfortably hold the hand on the
motor that is within the heating guarantee. The nameplate is stamped with the
temperature rise above the surrounding air (assumed at 40° C. or 104° F.) which the
motor will not exceed at its rated load. The motor will operate safely if maximum
observable temperature does not exceed 190° F. Motors with high temperature
insulation may go higher. See nameplate for approved temperature.

27
LUBRICATION
Sleeve Bearing Ring Oiled Motors
These are shipped without oil. Check oil level before starting and at weekly intervals
thereafter.
The oil reservoirs, one (1) located in each end shield, should be filled within 1/8” from
the top of the oil filler gauge, while the motor is not running. Use a high grade
petroleum oil corresponding to SAE # 20 for average indoor temperatures. Turbine oil,
rather than automotive oil is recommended by some motor manufacturers (see special
instructions for motors operating above normal temperatures).
Every six (6) months remove the drain plug to drain the oil which will flush out most of
the settled material with it, then refill. Whenever the motor is disassembled for general
cleaning or overhaul, wash out the bearings with a solvent such as carbon
tetrachloride.
Ball Bearing Motors
The majority of ball bearing motors are grease lubricated. These are shipped with
adequate grease in the bearings for several months of continuous service. However,
this should be checked.
Too much grease will cause ball bearing trouble, just as too little will. Ball bearing
housings should be 1/4” to 1/2” full of grease, therefore, add it sparingly unless the
bearing is properly relieved; this calls for precaution with pressure guns.
To determine the correct amount of lubricant in ball bearings is an important problem in

motor maintenance. Many motor makers have simplified this by providing two (2)
openings per bearing for greasing. One (1) opening is for the pressure gun fitting and
opposite it is a plain pipe plug that should be removed and the hard grease cleaned out
of the hole to allow excess grease to run out during and after greasing.

28
Run the motor with the relief hole open for several minutes after greasing to expel
excess lubricant. THIS IS IMPORTANT. The relief opening prevents loading the
bearing with too much grease and helps to purge the housing of used grease (outlet
pipes generally do not relieve pressure). Motor bearings lubricated this way every six
(6) months seldom require complete cleaning. However, during a general disassembly
or overhaul, the bearings should be washed with carbon tetrachloride.
If desired, ball bearings or such horizontal motors can be cleaned without

disassembling, as follows:
Add flushing fluid through the greasing hole and run the motor for about
ten (10) minutes, then drain, and repeat until the liquid comes out clear.
Rinse, using light mineral oil if carbon tetrachloride was used, drain the
oil, and grease as usual.
Use a good sodium-calcium base grease (for normal operating conditions) of # 2

consistency (N.L.G.I. Classification) containing oil having viscosity 200-300 at 100° F.
(S.U.V.).
Motors with prelubricated sealed bearings have no provision for greasing and do not
need additional grease (unless in unusual service) for two (2) years or longer, then
they must be opened and repacked according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

29

Daily Lubrication (As Applicable)
Typically, this is done during sanitation as outlined in the Sanitation chapter of

the manual. It is important that these components be checked prior to any situa-
tions or conditions that require the equipment to be “dry” run.
Gearbox Oil Levels (As Applicable)
Where applicable, inspect all gearboxes regularly for overheating conditions and
lubrication levels. Some Gearboxes can be sealed and do not require additional
lubrication through the life of the unit. Always refer to proper lubrication levels
and types per recommendations set forth by the gearbox manufacturer.
In general, do not overfill gearboxes as vent plug discharge, seal leakage and
damage may occur.
Note: Refer to and follow manufacturer’s recommendation of lubrication

type and quantity to use. Note gear box orientation, as it can have direct
impact on lubrication levels required for the gear box.
Sealed Bearings (As Applicable)
Proper lubrication of sealed bearings vary greatly between manufacturers and

application of the bearings. Always refer to the bearing manufactures recommen-
dation of proper lubrication type, amount, and periods for the application. Varia-
tion in lubrication intervals will exist pending bearing manufacturer, bearing
type, construction, RPM and other environmental issues concerning areas, such
as, temperature, and general cleanliness conditions.
Store grease in clean, dry areas protected from contamination.
Wipe grease fittings and nozzle clean after use.
Verify lubricant compatibility prior to usage.
Do not over grease sealed bearings as this may cause damage to the seals due to
over pressure. Add grease slowly and in controlled quantities as variation will
exist pending bearing size. Generically, 1/2 to 1 pump of grease at fitting is all
that is necessary for many applications, depending on gun and grease type.
Note: It is common that after lubrication, the operating temperature may increase until the
bearing stabilizes and the lubricant is fully dispersed evenly throughout the bearing.
Note: Over lubrication can be detrimental to bearing life as can under

lubrication. Always refer to specific OEM recommended bearing mainte-
nance information.

General Additional Maintenance Tips
Following is additional information regarding general maintenance and upkeep of Additional
equipment components. This information complements the general recommended
Maintenance Tips
maintenance schedules mentioned earlier. Adhering to these tips will help you in
maintaining the standards of optimal equipment performance for many years to
come.
Note: It is recommended that the information provided by the originating

equipment manufacturer, OEM, be reviewed for further details. These details
will supersede these general instructions regarding specific care for the listed
devices.
Troubleshooting Sealed Bearings
Some of the bearings used on this equipment line are lubricated and sealed for the
life of the bearing. No additional lubrication is required by these bearings. However,
regularly scheduled visual inspections should be practiced. The chart below indi-
cates some situations that might be observed, their possible causes, and a potential
solution.

Bearing with Grease Fittings
Some equipment lines and specific applications require bearings that can be relubri-
cated. Where these bearing are used, they can be identified by a grease fitting in the
bearing housing. Periodic relubrication should be made.The length of the intervals
between lubrications for these bearings depend on the speed and conditions at which
the bearing operates. Although variation may exist for your specific application, for
lubrication interval reference, the following table covers most general conditions:
Speed Temperature Environmental Conditions Greasing Interval
100 RPM Up to 120ºf Clean 6 to 12 months
1500 RPM Up to 210ºf Clean Weekly
Any Speed Up to 150ºf Dirty 1 week to 1 month
Any Speed Over 150ºf Dirty Daily to 2 weeks
Any Speed Any temperature Very dirty Daily to 2 weeks
Any Speed Any temperature Extreme cond. Daily to 2 weeks
Note: Typically, unless otherwise stated, use only a grease (not oil), which conforms
to NIGI No. 2 consistency when relubricating. Always refer to OEM information for
specific recommended grease type.
Maintenance_Tips_Additional.fm- AMF Bakery Systems

Bearing Lubrication Capacities
The proper amount of lubricant in the bearing is important. Both excessive and inad-
equate lubrication can cause failure. Generally, bearings should be relubricated
while they are rotating. For most applications, the added grease should be pumped
in slowly until a slight bead forms around the seal. The following table reflects typi-
cal grease amounts that are can be added to standard bearings, regarding bearing
shaft size diameters.
Shaft Size Maximum Grease Capacity
1/2” to 3/4” 1/4 ounce
7/8” to 1-3/16” 3/8 ounce
1-1/4” to 1-15/16” 5/8 ounce
2” to 2-7/16” 3/4 ounce
2-1/2” to 2-15/16” 1-1/2 ounce
3” to 3-7/16” 2 ounce
Note: Bearings can vary depending on type and manufacturer. The preced-
ing table is intended for general reference only. Damage can result should
bearings be over-greased!
Bearings Low Temperature Applications
For bearings used in freezer application, a low-temperature grease is supplied in the

prelubricated unit. The low-temperature grease must be specified when ordering and
may delay delivery of the units from bearing supplier. Therefore, it is recommended
that replacement bearing cartridges be kept in stock for their application. Dow Corn-
ing DC33 lubricant grade #2 is recommended for temperatures ranging from -100º
to 300º Fahrenheit.
Note: This may not apply to all equipment lines or specific applications.

Chain Lubrication
Lubrication of roller chains is essential for minimizing metal-to-metal

bearing contact of pin bushing joints of chain. Because access to pin
bushing areas is possible only through clearance between the outside plate
and the inside plate, oil should be applied to outside plate and inside plate
edges. Oil applied on the center line of rollers cannot reach pin pushing
joints.
A good grade of non-detergent petroleum base oil is generally recom-

mended for most applications.‘
Temperature ºf Recommended General Lubricant
40 to 100ºf SAE 30
100 to 120ºf SAE 40
For areas where oil could come in contact with food product, a USDA-
AA-approved oil is normally recommended. Oil should be applied to
drive chain and other lubrication points periodically with a brush or spout
can. This should be done, preferably, once every 30 days, or as specifi-
cally recommended for a particular piece of equipment or application.

Gear Reducer Lubrication
Many Gear Reducers are factory-lubricated and sealed, requiring no

scheduled maintenance.
After an initial operating period of approximately 80 to 100 hours, or as

directed by gearbox OEM, completely drain the gearbox while it is warm.
Refill housing to proper level with fresh gear oil following specifications
shown on the chart.
Gearbox fill point variation will exist between gearbox types and mounting posi-
tions as diagram depicts.
Figure 0-1 . Foot / Output Flange-Mounted Diagram
Inspect the gearboxes regularly and fill with the gear lubricant recom-
mended by the gearbox manufacturer.
Do not overfill gearboxes, as overheating, vent plug discharge, seal leak-

age and damage may occur. Refer to and follow manufacturer’s recom-
mendation of lubrication to use
Note: Important! DO NOT intermix lubricants! Variation in recom-

mended lubricants between gearbox manufactures is possible. Be sure to
read the OEM information regarding lubricant types recommended for
your specific application prior to adding new lubricant.
