|
| 1. Cutters rotating in reverse |
|
|
|
| If cutters rotate in reverse, forward/backward will reverse, preventing granulating |
|
 |
- Check rotating direction of motor by observing fan area.
- Negative phase if direction of rotation in reversed. Switch R-phase and T-phase of cord.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. Clamps of feed hopper/cutter chamber not secured. |
|
|
|
|
- Check to see if all clamps are securely tightened.
- If any of the clamps are loose, tighten securely.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. Dust/Particles in feed hopper/cutter chamber. |
|
|
|
| If there are any dusts or particles (i.e. metal parts), they will interfere with cutters and cause noise. |
|
 Always begin work after turning power off! |
- Remove feed hopper clamps and slowly open hopper to proper size.
- Check for dust/particles. Remove if necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. Insufficient gap between rotating* cutters and fixed cutter. |
|
|
|
| If gap between cutters are too wide, it may cause decline in grinding capabilities. |
|
| Always begin work after turning power off! |
- Remove feed hopper clamps and slowly open hopper to side where hopper tips.
- Check for dust/particles. Remove if necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. Fixed cutter or rotating* cutter blades are wearing/chipping |
|
|
|
| If the cutters are worn or chipped, it may weaken grinding capabilities |
|
| Always begin work after turning power off! |
- Remove feed hopper clamps and slowly open hopper to side where hopper tips
- Check condition of cutter blades. If worn or chipped, replace cutter blades
