Wear Parts and Causes of Damage
Wear Part
Cause of Damage
V Belt
The V Belt for the VM
®
Lab Mixer drives all of
the power from the motor to the Hopper via
the Gearbox. Overtime, this will lose some of
its tension and wear, causing the belt to slip,
which affects the mixer's ability to handle the
maximum weight capacity.
Bushing
Each VM
®
Lab Mixer will have a bushing to
support the mixing barrel. If powder builds up
around the bushing, or if it is not cleaned and/
or lubricated properly, it can wear overtime.
