Rick Falcon Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I went out today to service my route and ended up finding two broken globes I was able to replace one but unfortunately the other spare I had didn't fit the second globe. Is their anyway of fixing these globes or should I just damage them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEREMYTINA Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Probably no way to fix them, but what kind of machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Mine have broken where the screws are. I think it is from people bumping into them. I've had 2 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorderJerry Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 On the Oak 300's and 450's we always buy washers to place between the plastic tabs on the globe and the head of the screws (that hold the globe to the hopper). The screw heads are so tine they focus all the stress over a small area. If you buy a dime sized washer for the 300's and a quarter sized for the 450's you will find they spread the stress out and you don't end up with nearly so many broken tabs. And with the washers you can keep using some of the globes even if half the tab is missing. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 That's a good idea Jerry. Fender washers is what they are called I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarter Master Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I've had the broken globe one time after the machines were out for over a year. Did'nt think much of it untill one day while servicing in a place where I have one single and a set of doubles, I saw one of the employees lift the single to sweep around it. He grabbed the globe and swung the machine to the side to sweep.That's alot of weight to put on the globe itself. No harm was done this time but I quickly instructed him on how to move the machine a little easier and with no possibility of damage. Pick it up from underneath the body of the machine. You might want to check to see if employees are moving your equipment around to clean. Maybe a little proper instructions on handling them might cut down on possible damage.

Agapevending Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 If it is on the upper lid under the metal ring maybe where it wont be in contact with the food. Maybe JB Weld would work. or sometimes you can find globes on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
