Sunmix Maintenance

Sunmix Spiral Mixer Maintenance & Inspection

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Sunmix spiral dough mixer, we recommend routine visual inspections and periodic maintenance. Below are general maintenance guidelines for both small and large Sunmix machines.

🔧 Maintenance for Small Machines

Models: Discontinued Small Line, Easy Line, Evo Line

  • Remove panels: Carefully remove the top lid, back panel, and bottom panel.
  • Inspect moving parts: Visually check belts, chains, pulleys, and sprockets for any signs of wear or deterioration.
  • Check tension:
    • Belts should be taut but not overly tight.
    • Chains should be taut but not tight to avoid strain on components.
  • Replace worn components: If you notice fraying, cracking, or any damage to belts or chains, replace them immediately to avoid further damage.

⚙️ Maintenance for Larger Machines

Including: Top Line

  • Inspect the drive shaft: This runs the full length of the machine and includes two key bearings:
    • Top bearing with grease nipple
    • Bottom bearing with a grease nipple
  • Grease the bearings: These should be greased periodically using a standard grease gun. This can usually be carried out by the user.
  • Panel removal: As with smaller units, remove the lid and panels to inspect belts and chains.
  • Replace parts as necessary: Check belts for wear and replace any that show signs of deterioration.
