5-1 Preventative Maintenance Schedule
The mechanical design of the blender is simple and little maintenance is required. The only
moving parts are the re-fill valves, optional regrind agitators, metering augers, and optional
discharge slide gates. The checklist below contains a list of items which should be inspected
and/or replaced to keep your blender operating at peak efficiency. Perform each inspection at
the regular intervals listed below.
