The Agitator shaft extension (#SCM-800) is threaded onto the end of the motor shaft
with slinger (DDR-800) sandwiched between (Right handed thread). This shaft is
always aligned before leaving the factory, however, a side load, blow during shipping,
moving, or use could cause misalignment.
Caution Shock hazard - Unplug the cord rst. Make sure the shaft extension is
threaded tight onto the motor shaft with slinger centered and square. A loose shaft
will always act misaligned and cause vibration. To tighten, remove black cap and
hold motor shaft with a screw driver in the slot on the top end. Then turn the agitator
with your hand until tight. If tools must be used to hold the shaft extension, be sure
to protect it from being scratched as that would reduce its cleanability.
If the shaft is still misaligned, then rotate the shaft by hand while holding a mark-
ing pen close to the lower end. The rst spot to touch and leave a mark is the side of
the shaft most out of alignment. Lay the MIX'N MACHINE on its back (remove the
plastic agitator to avoid breakage) and hit the marked side of the shaft with a rub-
ber mallet. Repeat the process until the marking pen leaves a mark most of the way
around the shaft and the unit runs smooth. Regulate your mallet blows to move the
shaft towards the center without over shooting.
Mixing various candies, cookies, fruits, nuts, liquid avors and other food items
into ice cream or frozen yogurt has made unlimited different combinations of avors
and textures available with only one freezer or starting avor.
The development of counter top and wall mount mixers have made this unlimited
resource available to even very small retail outlets or any where with limited counter
space at an affordable cost. The economic advantages of this process are enormous.
Mixing these combinations directly in the individual serving cup leaves a minimum
of waste and clean up.
Vita-Mix has engineered the Mix'n Machine to best meet the economic and
practical needs of the commercial user as follows:
1. Motor: Features a heavy duty ball bearing induction motor (like a commercial
drill press) with plenty of power and years of life expectancy for the busiest year-
round establishments.
By contrast, the Mix'n Machine does not have brushes (like a hand drill), belts,
couplings, extra bearings, or gears to consume power, produce extra heat, make
noise, require alignment, or wear out.
The Vita-Mix motor is further designed to maintain the optimal speed
(3485 RPM) throughout the load range. This feature will keep your product
more consistent.
The motor has been carefully sized with plenty of power to perform its function,
but not enough to present a safety hazard.
2. Drive: The motor mounted shaft has no separate drive components; it uses heavy
duty prealigned ball bearings - no extra parts or noise.
3. Permanent Agitators: Soft serve and Hard ice cream permanent agitators are
made out of FDA and NSF approved food safe material and present smooth,
rounded surfaces to the cup at any contact point. They are safer for people, cups
and product. (Use Mix'n Machine cup holders for hard ice cream).
4. The new patented disposable spoon agitator option now makes the Mix'n Machine
into a self serve process or eliminates a clean up step for an operator. This agitator
is also designed for operator safety. (Now you have the option to convert your
Standard Mix'n Machine to either the Permanent Agitator Model or to a Disposable
Spoon Agitator Model regardless of which Model you start with.)
5. Splash Guard: Made of clear attractive acrylic, it catches food material thrown
from the blade. It conveniently rotates up and out of your way for easy operation
and is easily removed for cleaning.
