BLENDER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

There are no components of your blender that require periodic maintenance. However, over the years, blenders may be subjected to abuse or difficult conditions, and accuracy can suffer. To maintain control over the cost of expensive color and additives, you must maintain accuracy. We recommend that blenders be examined once a year, and all necessary repairs be made to insure continued accuracy.

DISPENSE GATES

To be accurate, gates must open and close freely, quickly, and completely. Check for wear on the slide gate guide rods. Check cylinder clevis adjustment for correct closing of the gate. A gate should close just enough to block the hole, but no further. It is best if they do not pass over the far edge of the opening as this might catch and jam on a pellet. Check that the clevis pin connecting the air cylinder is intact, not broken or worn through. Check for correct air pressure, tight fittings, and no damaged or crimped air lines.

LOAD CELLS

It is a good idea to remove the load cells, remove the back cover off each enclosure, and inspect for contamination that might have entered and built up over time. Do not remove the load cell from its mounting. Just blow out any contaminants. Load cell enclosure design has evolved over the years. If you find significant contamination, request new enclosures from us. GBM and 100 series have recently improved enclosures, since 2000. Other models had improvements made before 1997. We will provide these parts for free if you need them.

WEIGH BINS

Check for smooth correct operation of the dump flap. Hinge points should not be worn. Gate should overlap the forward edge enough to prevent dribble when closed, even when closed against pellets. Space at the rear of the flap should allow for static build up of pellets on the rear edge of the dump flap without interfering with the closing of the flap. Again, if you see evidence of these problems, newer design parts are available to solve these problems. Check that the flap closes fully, and closes softly. The soft close is adjustable.

CLEARANCES - FREE MOVEMENT OF WEIGH BIN.

Carefully examine all the parts of the weigh bin and the bin hanging bracket to be sure that nothing touches any fixed parts. A quarter (1/4) inch of space should exist on all sides of the weigh bin. Over the years, windows and guards have been added, and this has required that the weigh bin size be reduced to maintain 1/4 inch clearance per side. Be sure you do not have an older larger bin installed where windows have been added.

A light touch of the bin should show a change in the weight readout. Remove the touch and the display should return to exactly the same number, plus or minus 1 or 1/10 gram depending on model. Only the last digit should drift, or vary, and by no more then one count. If ANY interference is detected, it MUST be fixed.

MIX CHAMBER

No bent blades. No SHARP blades. Bent blades might brake off and severally damage your process screw. Sharp blades are a safety hazard. Replace if mix blades are not perfect.
