Nemox Lux
Geplaatst: ma 20 mei 2013, 22:47
Ik ben nu een tijdje in het bezit van een Nemox Lux. Nu viel de fijnheid van de maling mij tegen. Toen ik hiernaar op zoek ging kwam ik er achter dat er een mod te koop is om de maler stepless te maken en tevens het bereik te vergroten (fijnere maling).
Nu heb ik hier een aantal tips gevonden met daarbij de installatie van de mod: http://coffeegeek.com/forums/espresso/grinders/331560
Kunnen jullie mij helpen deze tekst te vertalen? Mijn engels is ok, maar sommige vaktermen kan ik verkeerd opvatten en ik wil het graag ineens goed doen.
Four things to do with your Lux:
Pull out the vertical chute wires with a set of fine nosed pliers. If you pull up on the clear spout (it fits tight but is will pull straight up) you'll see two vertical wires in the black chute. They will cause your machine to clog. Just get those pliers in there and wiggle one till one end comes out. the pluck out the other end. (This is against UL approvals, so do this at your own risk, may void warranty; may not)
2, Set the grinder up dry first. Way too many folks set the grinder up way too tight and clog it right out of the box. (I confess I did this myself with a similiar grinder) The best way to set this grinder up is to unplug it; take out the horizontal screw in the burr carrier, then remove the hopper. then remove the black shiny burr carrier cover fron the black burr carrier (pry cover upwards); use a 2 mm hex key to back off the safety screw. and screw the burrs down till the bottom burr turns with the burr carrier. then back it off a half turn turn, mark it, reassemble, and dial it in from there. (As you reassemble take care to orient the horizontal screw and the hopper properly.
3 Clean out the burr chamber. Despite item 1. this grinder will clog occasionally. follow the initial procedures in 2, (above) but unscrew the burr carrier, then clean everything, especially the threads.
4 For a great stepless mod if this is to be a dedicated espresso grinder. Go to cafeparts.com (or any other vendor that has the parts) , Ibertal grinders, and get the adjustment screw support and the control handle. Remove the burr carrier cover (see 2 above) to expose the gear edge of the burr carrier. remove the index pin and spring from the case or replace the spring with a wooden dowel (see below). Put them in a ziplock bag in your organized spare parts area (yeah right) take out the two stainless screws from the top of your grinder. get longer self tapping screws (# 8 by one inch looks nice), screw the support in place. These parts were meant for this platform. Takes quite a bit of time to go from press pot to espresso, but for tweaking your espresso grind it's great. You can even put in a piece of thin dowel instead of that spring under the indexing pin, and tweak the height and placement of the safety screw (which easily cuts threads in the holes in the burr carrier) so that the burrs cannot touch, yet the grinder can be disassembled with ease. (Leave a margin for safety, at least four holes; tolerances will worsen over time; having a safety device is not a substitute for consciousness.)
Heeft iemand toevallig ervaring met deze mod? De kit is overigens hier te koop.
