I have been having problems with my motorized Barley Crusher. For the first year it ran like a champ! No problems at all. Into the second year it started staling out during the milling. So I would just stop the motor, run the mill backwards for a rotation and then forward until I felt the grain catch and turn the motor back on. This would happen a few times while grinding in about 20 to 40 pounds. Now it seems to happen ALL the F'n time!!!
The setting was factory for a long time and now I have it open to .47. The pulleys are 10" on the mill and 1.5" on the 1725 rmp motor. This was what a few articles stated was the optimum speed.
If I get the gap setting to tight the grain refuses to mill.
Anyone have the same problems and found a way to fix it? I might start thinking about the rollers if this keeps on.
Thanks,
BW
