    cat pump

    No changes other than 2 drive motors. Surprisingly it has not tripped yet. I guess it was over worked on Friday and Saturday? Slower today or i was beating the heck out of that reset button on the overload switch.

    cat pump

    yea i think (and hope) it's the overload switch and not the pump. I definitely will cry if we do. Just a little over a year of brand new equipment, and we replacing parts and motors left and right. We replace this around 3 or 4 months after day of openning, because the switch they replace looks...

    grease

    I have the Bionic 60. Dont know which series you have but the grinder pumps the water back into the bioreactor where the cyclones located. You need it (or some pump to send the water back to reuse) to complete the cycle.

    Drive Lovejoys

    why would you want to change to steel? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose? The lovejoy in my opinion suppose to protect the motor if the gearbox fails or vice versa? I rather replace lovejoy than the motor or gearbox. But then again what do i know, my brush motor burnt, shaft sheared and lovejoy...
