belle cement mixer died suspect switch ?

[angellonewolf]

ive decided the above link is worth a shot £20 quid for a working mixer is worth it

its prob a bit cheap realy and i nearly clicked on the 50 quid one but cant justify it when i could if waited get a new mixer on facebook for near that price

i will keep an eye out on face book for one with a better drum as well and flog this off if it does a few mixes for me at that price better than a hiring one it would cost £25-30 for a days hire id guess

thanks for the help every one let you know how the part goes

I bypassed the switch on mine and run it off the plug socket switch, it's not a Belle though.

The switch on the machine is there to avoid the machine restarting if the mains is turned off, or lost, and is then reconnected - a safety feature to avoid accidents such as having one’s head inside the drum at the time!

The capacitor is likely just for starting (so that the mixer motor runs in the correct direction) and to provide extra oomph for the initial acceleration (it’s one reason why single phase motors draw so much current at start-up).

If the gearing has failed, the motor could be burned out (usually identified by the smell of burned wiring).

I suspect the NVR switch is likely your problem. They don’t last forever - particularly if living outside for most of their life.

its the nvr as i pulled the plastic forword using a insulated screw driver and it started so i know its the nvr

And get a new drum while your at it. What animal has been abusing that?

One of the helpers overloaded the drum on my neighbour's Bell mixer, and the pully wheel stripped the motor shaft. When I removed the belt guard I was surprised to find the shaft was "Plastic". All I could do as a repair was to epoxy the pully onto the shaft, and afterword drill all the way through the pulley and insert a pin. Fortunately, it worked a treat and the mixer is still working after numerous jobs.

Young feller that was mixing for us once was asked by the boss are you forgetting to wash out the mixer. No says he I’ll wash it in the morning with a hammer. No wonder they didn’t last too long.

neighbour borrowed my mixer, the beer didn't out weigh the time spent with an air chisel and needle scaler
