frosting formula and following the correct target weight by using
the die count / target weight book located by the weigh station
area. You will also have to record the formula type, weight, and
times of frosting being used onto your daily frosting and
inspection sheet. Frosting carts need to be used in the order they
were made. This information is located on a label that is located
on the top of the batches along with the formula number. When carts
are emptied out they should be scraped along the sides and parked
next to the full carts so that they are brought back down to the
mixing department.Frosting Change Over: Dig out frosting vat by
hand wearing green gloves and place into BLUE buckets or back into
unused frosting cart. Scrape inside of vat to remove heavy frosting

and clean outside of vat at this time After the lead person has
checked the vat, fill vat with new product and purge out pump and
lines using the P.L.C. panel located on the Peters machine When

using P.L.C. panel Insure BLUE buckets are placed on pallet and
label is correctly filled out. (Formula # Date: Exp. Date: Time:
Lot # Shift: P.M.O Initial.) Frosting in buckets must be put on a
cart. Peanut goes on a separate skid with an orange tag indicating
"allergen". Buckets with plastic may not be stacked inside of each
other, overflowing, or have frosting on the outer sides of the
buckets.The P.M.O. must always follow the color code system
according to what product we are running.Purple gloves are to be
used with any Peanut frosting. Green gloves will be used for all
other products. Green gloves must be worn when cleaning out any
frosting vats.Aprons must also be changed whenever they become
soiled. Aprons must always be changed at the end of a Peanut clean
up. Report any torn or missing gloves to your lead person
immediately. There are 2 different sinks (1 sink on line 3) to be
used for washing hands. You should never have a product / flavor on
the vats or Peter's machine that is not being ran. The lead person
will communicate to you when flavor changes are coming. There is
also a sink and a die wash area for cleaning shovels and utensils.
Make sure that all of the heavy frosting is removed before washing
these items in these areas so that the drains do not get plugged.

be worn full length when running peanut.Programmable Logic Control

weights. Auto screen is your main screen To adjust the speed of the
Peters machine you push the up arrow to make the speed faster. To
make the speed slower you push the down arrow. If you need to
adjust the speed a large amount push the button where the number
display is and a new screen will appear with numbers on it. Enter
in the numbers you want and push the arrow button in the top right
corner and that will enter the amount you chose and return you to
the auto screen. To adjust the weights use the arrow buttons the
same way as above except you will use the one that says cream pump.
To steady the weights and frosting flow do the same as above but
instead of using the cream pump use the cream hopper. Always check
your package weights after making any adjustments. To purge vat: On
auto screen push and hold the setup screen button until the screen
changes and a green button appears. Push the green button and the
vat will start purging. To stop the purge cycle push the same
button. While the vat is in purge cycle it turns red. Hour meter:

button until the time returns to 0: 0. Status screen: By pushing
this button the machine will tell you where you are having a
problem. If a guard is open the screen will show a display of the
machine showing you what guard is not working. Alarm screen: If you
are having trouble with the machine this button will show you what
is wrong. To return to main screen push the auto screen. Red
screen: This screen will appear if a mechanic has the safe guards
bypassed. If you need to get a different screen when this is on
push "acknowledge this alarm" guards will still be bypassed , but
you will be able to access the auto screen. Peters Machine
Operation.: The P.M.O. must be able to identify a problem and make
the appropriate adjustments to the machinery by adjusting the
following items: Pins - The pins need to be adjusted using a ½ inch
wrench and or thumb screw. By turning these they will raise and
lower the pin height so that the pin will hit the edge of the base
cake in the desired area. Use the yellow jog button on the control
box to line the base cake up to the pin Rails - The rails are what
the sandwiches run between and are fairly easy and quick to adjust
with an Allen wrench. There are 2 rails that run from the back of
the machine to the front. By turning the hand adjuster left or
right you will be able to open and close the rails to the desired
position Cake detectors - There are 2 sets of these. The first set
is just before the frosting die. These need to be adjusted
correctly so that the machine will shut of when it senses no
cookie. To adjust, ensure that a cookie is under adjust L-shaped
bar with detector resting on it. (When there is no cookie it drops
and shuts off machine so you don't get a big frosting mess). This
is very important when running double stuff. By adjusting the cake
detector arm against the cake detector block the sensor arm should
activate the sensor to shut off the machine when a cookie is not
present. The 2nd set of these is located after the chutes Cut of
wire - This is located on top, behind die. This wire is to be
adjusted when the frosting is not cutting off the die correctly.
Turn left or right to adjust cutting wire forward or backward
