Common Questions

The screen keeps plugging

Usually moisture or too small a screen. Above 20 percent moisture, run the largest screen that still hits your target length. For wet material, switch to an anvil screen with a solid cutting edge and no holes to plug. See the Screen Selection Guide.

The chop is uneven or too long

Hammers wear, and worn hammers stop sizing cleanly. Rotate them at about 100 hours per side, 400 hours total. Check that both screen halves are the right sizes: target on Side A, one to two sizes larger on Side B.

How do I change a rotor shaft bearing

Watch the two bearing install videos above from Bakko Companies. They walk the full job on the H-1130 and H-1150. The parts book in your manual library has the exploded diagram and part numbers.

Which screens and hammers do I order

Screens and hammers are wear parts. Order a screen pair for every material you grind plus a spare of your Side A workhorse. For part numbers, open your model’s parts book in the library, or ask us.
