FAQ

• Can I test my product on the Beldos machines?

• Customers are welcome for a free-of-charge demonstration with their ingredients/finished products to our test kitchen. The ingredients/finished products can be sent for test by post (at least 4-5 l) and you’ll receive a movie with the test results.

 

• Are small particles in the product permitted? (mushrooms, fruit, vegetables, pieces of meat, etc.)

• Yes, the particles can be up to 2,5 cm³.

 

• Can I use the Beldos machine with hot and cold products?

• Our machines can stand the temperature from -8° till +120°C.

 

• What compressor is necessary for machines?

• The compressor should be capable of 4 C.F.M. @ 100 P.S.I. 3 HP is the ideal size, as it will last many years longer. An air drying system is recommended for longer service life of pneumatic components.

 

• What air pressure is necessary for operating the machine?

• 7 Bar / 102 PSI is necessary for the optimum performance of the machine.

 

• How often is it necessary to change the O-rings?

• Beldos recommends strongly that you replace all O-rings on regular, scheduled intervals (usually about once a week for any O-rings that move on wear surfaces). O-rings are some of the least expensive parts, but they are the most important parts to be replaced regularly!

 

• What type of lubricant is necessary?

• Beldos supplies a special food approved lubricant (non-toxic, odorless, tasteless).
