Evaporator Barrel and Auger Inspection

Inspect the evaporator for damage around the dispense opening. If it is cracked or bulged outward, it is probably due to a bin control failure. Check both bin controls for proper adjustment and operation before the machine is put back into service.

Inspect the interior of the evaporator barrel for damage. The interior of the evaporator should be smooth and have no scoring or damage due to the auger coming in contact with the evaporator side. If damage is present, the evaporator will require replacement. The evaporator is available as an assembly, which includes all internal components, or is available as the evaporator barrel only, which does not include the internal components.

Clean the auger and inspect for corrosion or wear. If the auger is corroded or if the flights are worn from contact with the evaporator walls, it should be replaced.

The auger bearing journals can be checked for wear by using hand pressure to install a new bearing onto the journals. The bearing should fit tightly around the journal. If the bearing does not fit tight, the auger is worn and must be replaced or machined to the proper size.

Augers used in the 3 inch diameter evaporators should have a journal diameter between 1.1803 and 1.1809 inches for both the upper and lower journals.

If the evaporator wall is scored by the auger the evaporator will need to be replaced.

Augers used in the 2 1/2 inch diameter evaporators should have an upper journal diameter between .9831

and .9836 inches and the lower journal diameter between .7492 and .7498 inches.

Upper Bearing Journal

Damaged or worn evaporator components will cause high auger motor amp draw and may cause the evaporator to lock up.
