PROHIBITED
It is unacceptable to begin operation of the line without verifying that all equipment is safety installed and is in location
prior to starting up. No food or drink should be near workstation machinery or equipment which has raw or cooked
product being produced. Due to the nature of some equipment, pinch or cut hazards may result in serious or debilitating
injuries. Additionally, cellular phones are not recommended to be on the production floor to prevent product
contamination.
ATTENTION
Caution is recommended around workstations within the Sun Chips production area due to following hazards: open
flames, hot surfaces, product falling from conveyor belts, slip and pinch hazards, and high voltage panels.
ACTIONS IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
In the event of an emergency or a need to shut down equipment immediately, locate the nearest Emergency Stop button
for the equipment that is the result. This also includes Emergency Spill Kits, Eye Wash Stations, and First Aid Stations.
Notify Facility Leadership or a Production Supervisor Immediately of any accident. Additionally, it is a requirement to
report all accidents immediately after they occur.

OPERATION
Equipment Operation Pre-Start Checks
1. Confirm there is enough product consistently working through the Mixer and Wheat Product workstation to
minimize gaps and production delays. Refill as needed.
2. Periodically observe product as it works through the different pieces of equipment notating any significant changes
in temperature, speed, and other variables against Test Plan or recipe requirements.
3. Perform a three (3) Catch Tests to ensure proper operation of the Extruder. One is dedicated to Wheat whereas
another is for Dry Mixes, and the third is for Water going through the Extruder. Have a GRAY cart with a small scale
and table available to complete tests. This should be done with TWO (2) Team Members – one being a timekeeper
and the other performing the require actions.
Catch Test #1 – Wheat Product
4. To complete a Catch Test, place paper towel around the Discharge end of the Extruder. Place a larger Catch
Container below the hole.
5. Begin this catch test by going to the Wood’s E-Trol to get the correct
speed based on the number of pounds per hour the Test Plan calls for.
6. Using a Stopwatch, complete a Catch Test to determine how much product is produced in a one-minute timeframe.
The Team Member keeping time should announce when there is 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 second left in the test.
