Have you ever opened and inspected a bread slicer / all cutter? Me neither ;-)
- Why does the motor whine when slicing bread or in idle mode?
- Has mold over the years or an insect nested?
Good reasons to take a look at a table mat, several rags and a screwdriver as well as the "ritterwerk, Typ: 501.000 markant 01 - FD:586" model that has been used for years and days.
With the loosening of 6 screws and the cutting unit, which I placed in a dishwashing solution to bring the cutting edge to a high gloss, the heart of the drive quickly became apparent: a motor from China with 130 watts from CCL.
"KB 5 min." means that you can run the device for a maximum of 5 minutes at a time, then the device needs a certain amount of time to cool down. Is because of the engine cooling.
Unfortunately I could not exactly determine the engine type. Interestingly, the power of the motor is transferred to the cutting edge with the help of gears via a worm / spiral / plain bearing. It can be seen in the picture perpendicular to half in the upper left quarter.
After dry cleaning and cleaning the gears, it was easy to put them together: here the slide switch had to be plugged onto the unit beforehand.
It is easier to put the components together as soon as you have unhooked the floor to be folded down using its tilting mechanism.
Now the whole thing is purring again. Make sure that the cutting edge doesn't peel off any plastic from the housing: it doesn't taste as tasty ;-)
Spare parts are still available from the manufacturer:
- Microswitch,
- motor with white drive wheel (right-handed),
- knife lock and
- electrolytically polished serrated knife with yellow gear.
This is great service if the prices weren't so high that buying new would also be an option.
Order No. 527.602 has the right motor for all your Markant 01-models and is compatible with all striking types.
"Our old motors had 130 watts of power consumption and a plain bearing.
A lot of power has been converted into frictional heat.
In comparison, our new 65 watt ECO motors have approx. 50% more power
and are also about 25% more economical. The new motors have a ball bearing.", so the ritterwerk-Support.
