|
| 1. Too many runners (i.e. unused mold parts) in feed hopper |
|
|
|
| If there are too manu runners, grinding will slow down and trip motor breakers |
|
  Always begin work after turning power off! |
- Remove feed hopper clamps and slowly open hopper to proper side
- Remove runners if there are too many
|
|
|

|
|
| 2. Particles in feed hopper/cutter chamber |
|
|
|
| If there are parts that cannot be broken down (i.e. steel), the blades will not run and may cause the motor breaker to trip |
|
| Always begin work after turning power off! |
- If there are dusts or particles (i.e. metal parts), the cutters will not rotate and trip the motor breakers
- Check for dusts or particles. Remove if necessary

| 3. Drive Bearings causing burns |
|
|
|
| If the bearings are worn by friction or are damaged, overload will happen during rotation, causing the motor breakers to trip. |
|
| Always begin work after turning power off! |
- Remove feed hopper clamps and slowly open hopper to proper side.
- Check condition of bearings and replace if necessary.

|
| 4. Drive Motors not working properly |
|
|
|
| If the drive motor does not rotate due to some overload or damage, motor breakers will trip |
|
|
- Check to see if motor is rotating normally
- If not functioning normally, repair or replace the motor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. Drive Motor power cord is disconnected or connections are loose |
|
|
|
| If power cord is disconnected or its connections are loose, operations will run single-phased, causing the motor breaker to trip. |
|
| Always begin work after turning power off! |
- Check if there are abnormalities on power cord and connections.
- If there are any disconnections or loose connections, fix immediately
