Page 22 Step 10. Inspect the Orifice Plate. Step 8 continued. Install the knifeholder. Obviously the Triple Plate Assembly means that the grinder has three sets of plates, knifeholders, springs, and bushings. The plates work together as a team, each plate has a specific function.
Page 23 We recommend that a fresh plate surface should be used every 8 hours of operation. Operations that run empty or with hard to grind materials may have to change plate surfaces every 4 hours. Grinder Plates should be sharpened with a vertical type surface grinder, typically called a "Blanchard Type".
Page 24 Step 11. Install the bushing into the plate, then install plate and bushing into the grinder. Notice that the bushing rim faces inward. Inspect the bore flutes. Notice that this chamber ring has 19 flutes. The corners of the flutes should be sharp. The chamber and the impeller work together to force the product through the next plate.
Page 25 Step 15. Install the #2579 impeller. Check to make sure that the backside of the impeller does not touch the outside of the #1115 x 5/16" plate. It must have some clearance! If you think that it might rub, go back to step 5 and add one more washer under the 3/4"...

Page 40 HEAD. The heads have three different types of flutes. The bore flutes, the spin flutes, and the spin lugs. The bore flutes are the spiral flutes that extends for about 15". The spin flutes are the flutes that are on the tapered section. The spin lugs are the flutes behind the plate.
Page 41 FEEDSCREW. Foreign metal has obviously damaged this feedscrew. This type of damage makes this feedscrew unfit for use. Other than the tramp metal damage, this feedscrew has sufficient wear to make it unusable. The outside diameter of the pressure flights are rounded. They should have a square edge. The front of the pressure flight should be flat.
Page 42 Examine the flights in the head section. Notice how the corners are rounded. The flighting should be replaced when it is worn down to 3/8" thick. Also notice the crack at the root of the shaft. There is so much wear of the weld that holds the flighting to the shaft that it is prone to cracking.
Page 43 Note the sharp corners and square edges on Sharp cupping is needed to aggressively a new feedscrew. grasp the product that falls into the hopper. On a new or rebuilt feedscrew you will notice that the flighting is thicker. When new or rebuilt, the corners are square.
Page 44 HOPPERS. Tin plated hopper wth new safety stickers. The spin ridge, which runs the length of the hopper at the bottom, should have a square corner. When this edge becomes rolled over, the feedscrew has difficulty feeding the head correctly. In time, the excluder seal will wear a ridge in the back flange of the hopper.
