Acme Juicer as Centri - Bearing issues?
October 13, 2011 - 12:14pm
Thanks to everybody for their input about the 1 shot unit filtration thread.
We got our juicer and got it ready to clean the oil that we had sitting for a few weeks.
The results were amazing. Very clean oil and we can feel de diference while running (or I am a little paranoid...). had be my impression that the fuel filter had less restriction on the flow of veggie and truck ran better.
Now 2 questions.
1) the dirt inside the bowl was nothing near what we saw were posted by Mr Miller. Is that due to how clean was our oil before getting into the Centri?
2) The noise caused by the vibration was driving us nutz!! We place a strap in top that made it quieter for a while but not it seems like it damaged the Centri bearing? Can this be fixed?
Thanks again for all your help.
Thanks

I removed the bolts and used longer blots and some pipe strap to secure the top and it runs fine now.
You cannot expect your oil to look like someone else' oil given that they come from different sources with different levels of gunk.
I can't see how the bearings would be affected by fastening the lid when the motor is down beneath and unaffected by the lid. The nice thing about the juicer method is it's relatively inexpensive versus a $1,000 custom 'fuge so just buy a new one if yours is shot. There's know telling how long it had been used before you bought it on eBay.
