Chocolate mousse is very
liquid and dripping
Fruit filling with pieces;
pieces were crushed
Dosing is not accurate
Filler unit double outlet
Dosing is not accurate while
injection with nutella
(chocopaste)
Cause
Product is too viscous or
speed is too high
Using of wrong impeller
system
Use of 400 mm extension

Solution
Switch off power to reset
overload. Reduce speed OR
change viscosity of product.
Use a stronger power base
(230 W)
Use a filler unit with 3 lobe
system
Use a shorter spout 158
mm and reduce speed and
start with 40% and go up
till e.g 60%
Use the electro-pneumatic
Mini-fill; reverse mode max.
