Other notes
b As a rule the best cutting results are obtained at a temperature of the
product to be cut of 0° to -2° Celsius.
b Pay attention to the sharp knife!
b Observe the grinding instructions (see ☞ „Sharpening the knife“ on
Page 73).
b Make sure the product to be cut is securely placed in the infeed chan-
nel. Whenever possible, secure the product by means of the product
feed holder, without fail.
b Pay attention that the counter-blade is adjusted correctly in accordance
with the cutting material!
Observe the height adjustment of the counter-blade (see ☞ „Height
adjustment of the counter-blade“ on Page 26).
In case of uneven cut-off lengths, please see the section Troubleshooting

at a glance. (☞ „Troubleshooting at a glance“ on Page 115).
2.4.3 Cutting with or without counter-blade

(For machines with a conveyor belt only)
It is sensible to cut without a counter-blade when cutting thin slices (< 5
mm).
This way the cut off slices are fanned out more precisely onto the conveyor
belt.
Height adjustment of the counter-blade
The height of the counter-blade can be adjusted to suit the cutting material,
in order to achieve a better cutting result.

7.6 Program parameters
Every cutting program has a wealth of program parameters (depending on
the mode of operation selected).
The limiting values for each program parameter are shown in the third line
Programming
of the display in [ ]
(please also observe chapter „Minimum/maximum display entries“ on
Page 85)
S3 Schnitzel
P4 P5 Cutting thickness
15 mm (0,5-250)

You can use the two arrow keys "Select program parameter" to select the
individual program parameters of the relevant operating mode in successi-
on.
You can use the "UP/DOWN ARROW" to call up the various cutting para-
meters in succession.
P7 P8 The relevant cutting parameter can then be changed using the "+ / -" edit
keys.
Cutting thickness
The cut thickness is equal to the slice thickness of a portion.
The limit values depend on the selected operating mode.
Length range
This parameter determines the length of a cutting range in percent re-
lative to the entire product line (= 100%)..
Depending on the optimisation type, the "number range" parameter
can be set here instead of the "length range".
NOTE: only selectable in RS and LS operating modes.
Quantity range
Parameter for the range optimisation of a required number of slices in
a cutting range.
First cut
Inputting a value greater than zero ensures that before the start of an
actual cutting operation, a piece with a defined length (0 to 250 mm) is
cut from the product line.
Remaining product
The value entered here determines the length of the product line, which
remains on the product feed holder at the end of the cutting operation.
The residual length can be set between 0 and 250 mm.
86 06/2014 123842V01_EN
No. of blank cuts
Specifies the number of knife revolutions in which no product is fed..
Between 0 and 99 blank cuts can be set.
NOTE: only selectable in the LS operating mode.
Return travel
The path covered by the product from the cutting level while the blank
Programming
cuts are being made is entered here. The first feed after the blank cuts
are made is always increased by the amount of the value set here.
The adjustment range is between 0 and 10 mm.
.
1/2 Slices
Adapting the slice thickness after the first two slices of a group or a
stack.
If cut thickness differences between the first two slices and the subse-
quent slices of a group are detected, the setting value can be changed.
The set limits are between +/- 10 mm
- 1st slice too thin and the 2nd slice too thick:
Correction values are entered using "+".
- 1st slice too thick and the 2nd slice too thin:
Enter correction values with "-".
Cutting thickness tolerance

Entering the cut thickness tolerance defines the percentage by which
the entered cut thickness may deviate from the slice thickness actually
cut off.
The tolerance limits are between 0 and 20%.
Cutting ranges
Cutting range means the division of a product line into pieces with va-
rious cutting thicknesses.
The max. number of cutting ranges is 10 pieces.
Mode of optimation
Parameter for changing of the optimisation type.
Either "length range" or "number range" can be set.
06/2014 123842V01_EN 87
7.7 Cutting ranges – definition
1 2 3
A B In "SINGLE KNIFE RS" mode, products can be divided into up to 10 diffe-
rent cutting ranges. (example: 3) The remaining middle portion between
Programming
section [A] and the residual piece [B] is divided into range lengths "by per-
cent".
These range lengths can be assigned differing cut thicknesses.
Alternatively:
If the "Number range" optimisation type is used, the cutting range is divided
into the entered number of slices.
Functional procedure after starting

The raw material is first pushed to the knife slot.
The control system calculates the length of the strand of cutting mate-
rial between the entered first cut [A] and the residual piece [B].
The calculated centre piece is cut according to the set cutting thick-
ness.
The slice thickness is hereby increased/decreased (within the scope of
the set cutting thickness tolerance), so that the last cut precisely corre-
sponds with the set residual piece [B] (may also be „0 mm“).
Cutting thickness tolerance

Specification of the cutting thickness tolerance determines the percentage
according to which the entered cutting thickness may be increased or de-
creased in the event of residual piece break-up.
Example: cutting thickness: 30 mm
cutting thickness tolerance: 10 %

=The slices may be 27 to 33 mm thick.
Switching the function off:

If the tolerance in cutting thickness is set to ’0 %’, the product will be cut as
set for the cutting thickness.
The end piece processing function is thus switched off.

Stock of spare parts
11.10 Stock of spare parts

A stock of the most important spare parts and wearing parts in the installa-
tion location is an important prerequisite for the constant function and rea-
diness of the PUMA E.
Appendix
Please use the spare parts catalogue to order spare parts. We only provide
a guarantee for ORIGINAL TREIF SPARE PARTS that we have delivered.
We draw express attention to the fact that spare parts and accessories not
supplied by us are also not checked and approved by our technicians. The
mounting and/or use of such products can therefore under some circum-
stances change the design properties of the PUMA E for the worse and
therefore compromise the active and/or passive safety. Any liability or war-
ranty whatsoever on the part of TREIF Maschinenbau GmbH is excluded
for any damage caused by the use of non-GENUINE TREIF SPARE
PARTS.
Please note that there are often special manufacturing and delivery speci-
fications for our own and third-party parts and we always offer you spare
parts that are state-of-the-art and comply with the latest regulations.
On request, we will send you a list with the wearing parts that we recom-
mend you stock.
