POWER ON/OFF SWITCH AND FAQ’S IN THIS MANUAL

TO TROUBLESHOOT BEFORE CONTACTING US.

The RHINO® Grind nut butter grinder is a free standing machine that takes nut meat, and grinds it into a coarse or fine spreadable paste for consumption by customers at retail.

Our RHINO® Grind nut butter grinder will be referred to within this

OPERATING MANUAL as the

RHINO, or RHINO® Grind. The use of terms such as unit, machine, or equipment are meant to be synonymous with the RHINO® Grind or its components.

Installation of the RHINO® Grind nut butter grinder must be on a flat surface, away from heat, and near a properly grounded, electrical receptacle for its safe operation.

HOW TO USE/SELL

Customers using the RHINO®

Grind nut butter grinder will select a container or cup to dispense nut butter into for purchase.

This process begins when the customer places the container or cup below the dispensing spout, and presses the start/stop button which will activate the motor and grinding plates. This action grinds the nut meat into a spreadable paste known as nut butter. Once the machine has delivered the desired amount of product, the consumer will release the start/stop button which will deactivate the motor causing the grinding plates and dispensing to stop.

Our RHINO® Grind nut butter grinder will dispense nut butter paste at a flow rate of

2.5Lbs/min. of peanuts. Different nut meat flow rates, and how to adjust settings can be found in this manual. Also, the RHINO® Grind nut butter grinder ships in the Fine texture setting, with instructions on how to change found within this manual if needed based on nut meat being ground.

Thank you for your interest in nut butter grinding, and your purchase of the

PRODUCT LISTING

CAUTION

DO NOT GRIND ANY NUTS WHICH ARE STILL IN THEIR SHELL.

Dry roasted nuts work best for producing a spreadable butter. Raw, unroasted nuts or those with low oil content are not recommended to grind in the RHINO® Grind, as they may produce a thick, coarse nut butter meal paste or not produce nut butter at all.

Almonds, specifically, need to be dry-roasted with a very low moisture content.

Products like sesame or flax seeds, or any not listed below are not grindable or don’t produce favorable results when attempted.

The following nuts are great choices for selling as nut butter:

Peanuts, honey roasted peanuts, almonds, cashews, pecans, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, walnut pieces, pistachios, roasted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or any addition of chocolate pieces (which should be limited to 25% of hopper volume) . The

RHINO® Grind was developed to grind whole nut and pieces, do not hesitate to grind up whole nuts. Due to the all natural, no preservative nature of freshly ground nut butters, we recommend refrigerating product after it is ground. Refer to Page 9.

Some nut grades will pose difficulties, while other grades of the same nut type will not. If you are having difficulty with processing specific grades of nuts, please contact service for assistance. We cannot guarantee every nut grade processing performance but have had positive results (see chart next page).

NOTES:

Dry roasted nuts work best for producing a spreadable butter. Raw, unroasted nuts or those with low oil content are not recommended to grind in the Rhino Grind unit, as they may product a thick coarse nut butter meal paste or not produce nut butter at all. Some customers have found removing the duckbill to grind raw nuts is best.

Chocolate and Butterscotch Chips can be added, but should be limited to 25% of the total volume and no larger than a 10mm size.

Do NOT grind any nuts which are still in their shell.

Almonds, specifically, need to be dry-roasted with a very low moisture content. Products like sesame or flax seeds, or any not listed above are not grindable or don't produce favorable results when attempted.

Oil roasted nuts can be ground on the 'coarse' setting with the duckbill installed for a very smooth nut butter result.

PLEASE NOTE:

Before your first use, or after the cleaning/sanitizing/drying

process, you will need to run a cup of nuts through the grinding process until a sellable buttery nut paste begins to grind. Running the

RHINO® Grind on Fine texture minimizes the nut powder/dust dispense you may see, or particles until the paste forms. Discard this cup, and you are now ready to sell fresh nut butter!

Troubleshooting Tips

WARNING

START UP DRY PRODUCT / NOZZLE CLOGGING

At startup, some products produce a dry residual that clogs the duckbill valve. The result is that product does not flow.

Potential solutions: (Each step is progressive. Check for product flow after each step)

1. Assure the grinder is set on fine.

2. Clean the duckbill opening from below with a plastic knife. Insert the plastic knife inside the duckbill valve. Articulate the knife in a rotary motion to loosen / dislodge the compacted product.

3. Take cover off of unit & push compacted product out of the duckbill valve & squeeze the duckbill valve to open it (May have to take the duckbill out of housing to perform the squeeze open operation)

4. Visually inspect the sealing area of cover and fixed grinding plate are free of nut butter debris prior to reinstalling of cover.

LOW VISCOSITY/WATERY PRODUCT LEAKAGE

Certain products have high oil / water content resulting in a thin nut butter paste. The thin nut butter paste may syphon product out of the cover leaving a “puddle of paste” after the consumer has left.

Potential solutions:

1. Locate a whole nut or another diced product with less oil/water that delivers a thicker consistency (Product suggestions are available in our “nut educational” material)

2. Place the grind setting to “coarse”

Help

DUCKBILL VALVE rhinogrinder.com/help

PRODUCT BRIDGING, OR NOT ENTERING THE GRINDER

Certain products have size and exterior surface features that allow the product to

“bridge” across the opening of the plastic hopper. When this happens, the grinder mechanism runs dry and no product is dispensed from the machine.

Potential solutions:

1. Smaller product size typically flows better in the system.

2. Removal of the stainless steel shutter will promote improved product flow. This can be performed by removing the cotter ring and pin allowing the removal of the shutter.

(see illustration below). PLEASE NOTE: Once you have removed this shutter, the product will free flow once you pick up the hopper from the body of the grinder spilling your nut meat all over the floor or countertop.

3. Contact Trade Fixtures for a special hopper insert which helps improve flow rate.

Setting the Timer

SHOCK

By default, the RHINO® Grind ships without the timer function set, which means you have to press and hold the Start/Stop push button to run the unit. If you prefer this operation mode, there is nothing further to do. Simply plug in the RHINO®

Grind and begin using it. However, if you desire to configure your Start/Stop push button for a predetermined amount of time, you need to access the toggle switch bank and set the black toggle switches according to the table below. These switches are for setting the start/stop push button timing feature.

HOW TO LOCATE TOGGLE SWITCHES: REMOVE THE POWER

CORD FROM THE SOCKET BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

Remove Front

Merchandiser. Remove Catch Tray. Locate the stainless steel access panel with the

OFF/ON and power activation buttons. Remove three screws (two at the top of the panel and one underneath the machine.) Remove panel. You should now see the toggle switch bank.

Setting the Grind Texture

By default, the RHINO® Grind ships with the nut butter texture set to Fine. If you want to change the dispense from Fine (Smooth), to Coarse product, simply unscrew the adjustment thumbscrews (x2), rotate the grinding plate, and screw the adjustment thumbscrews back down manually. It is not recommended that you adjust from Coarse to Fine without cleaning your machine. A step by step is featured on the next page.
