그라인더 마모 이해하기

시간이 지남에 따라 일어나는 일

유지 보수가 없으면 그라인더가 경험합니다.

수지 축적:

• 치아, 스크린, 실에 축적
• 연삭을 더 어렵게 만듭니다(더 많은 저항)
• 연삭효과를 줄여줍니다
• 조각이 서로 붙어있을 수 있습니다

실 마모:

• 금속-대금 접촉으로 마찰이 발생합니다.
• 교차 스레드 손상 스레드
• 조각이 열리거나 닫히기 어렵습니다.
• 결국 스레드는 완전히 스트립

이빨이 둔해짐:

• 수천 번의 연삭 사이클이 치아를 마모시킵니다.
• 날카로운 다이아몬드 모양의 이빨이 둥글다
• 연삭 효율성이 떨어집니다
• 결국 같은 결과를 위해 더 많은 노력이 필요합니다

화면 막힘:

• KIEF 스크린은 수지를 축적합니다
• 키프가 떨어지는 것을 막습니다.
• 키프 수집을 크게 줄입니다
• 영구적으로 막힐 수 있습니다

전체 유지 보수 일정

매번 사용 후(30초)

해야 할 일:

• 느슨한 재료를 제거하기 위해 탭 그라인더
• 갇힌 대마초에 대한 빠른 시각적 확인
• 가득 차면 빈 키프 포수

중요한 이유: Prevents buildup from hardening and becoming difficult to remove later.

5~10회 사용시 2분

해야 할 일:

• 작은 브러시나 칫솔로 이를 닦는다.

7 부드러운 작동 테스트

필요한 도구:

• 작은 브러시
• 나무 이쑤시개 또는 치과 선택
• Soft cloth
• 종이 타월

월간(일일 사용자) / 분기별(가끔 사용자)

딥 클리닝 - 30-45분:

1. 키프를 구하다: Collect any remaining kief first

2. 동결 방법: Place grinder in freezer for 30 minutes

3. 노크 냉동 수지 느슨한: Tap on hard surface

4. 이소프로필 담그기: Submerge pieces in 90%+ isopropyl alcohol for 15-20 minutes

5. 철저히 스크럽: Use brush on all surfaces while soaking

6. 완전히 헹구십시오: Warm water rinse

7. Dry fully: Air dry for several hours or overnight

8. 재조립 및 테스트

필요한 도구:

• 이소프로필 알코올 (90%+)
• 담그는 용기
• 작은 브러시
• Toothpicks
• 종이 타월

3~6개월마다

스레드 유지 관리:

1. 실을 철저히 청소하십시오 (모든 수지 제거)

2. 식품 등급 윤활유를 적당히 바르십시오.

3. 개폐를 통해 윤활제를 실에 끼우십시오.

4. 초과를 닦아

윤활제 옵션:

• 식품급 미네랄 오일
• 코코넛 오일 (천연 옵션)
• 상업용 식품 안전 윤활유

사용하지 마십시오:

• WD-40 또는 이와 유사한 석유 제품
• 썩은 기름
• 모든 독성 윤활유

중요한 이유: Prevents thread stripping and ensures smooth operation.

Annually

Full Assessment:

1. Check tooth sharpness (still cutting effectively?)

2. Inspect screen for permanent clogs or damage

3. Test magnetic closure strength

4. Verify all pieces fit together properly

5. Assess overall condition

Decision time: Based on assessment, determine if grinder needs replacement soon or has more life.

• Simpler thread system

Schedule adjustment: Can extend cleaning intervals slightly due to simpler design.

4-Piece Grinders

More maintenance required:

• Multiple chambers accumulate resin
• Screen needs regular attention
• More threads to maintain

Schedule adjustment: Follow standard schedule; pay extra attention to screen.

Electric Grinders

Different maintenance:

Maintenance Tips by Material

Aluminum Grinders

• Most common and durable

• Clean same as aluminum
• Worth the investment for longevity

Acrylic Grinders

• DO NOT use isopropyl alcohol (damages plastic)
• Clean with warm water and dish soap only
• Shorter lifespan regardless of maintenance
• Replace more frequently

Wood Grinders

• DO NOT soak in water (damages wood)
• Wipe clean with slightly damp cloth
• Oil wood occasionally to prevent drying
• More decorative than functional

Common Maintenance Mistakes

Over-Cleaning

Problem: Cleaning too frequently or too aggressively

Result: Unnecessary wear on finish, wasted time

Solution: Follow schedule; don't clean daily unless extremely heavy use

Using Wrong Solvents

Problem: Using acetone, harsh chemicals, or wrong alcohol on acrylic

Result: Damaged grinder, potentially toxic residue

Solution: Isopropyl alcohol for metal only; warm soapy water for plastic

Not Drying Completely

Problem: Reassembling while still damp

Result: Trapped moisture leads to oxidation, sticky residue

Solution: Air dry overnight or use paper towels thoroughly

Ignoring Threads

Problem: Never lubricating or cleaning threads

Result: Threads strip, pieces become impossible to open

Solution: Include thread care in regular maintenance

Forcing Stuck Grinders

Problem: Trying to muscle open a stuck grinder

Result: Stripped threads, damaged grinder

Solution: Freeze first, tap gently, never force

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I clean my grinder in the dishwasher?

No. High heat can warp metal pieces, remove anodized finishes, and damage screens. Hand cleaning with isopropyl alcohol is the correct method for metal grinders.

How do I know if my teeth are too dull?

Compare grinding effort to when the grinder was new. If you need significantly more twisting force to achieve the same grind, teeth are dulling. Visual inspection may show rounded edges instead of sharp points.

Is it normal for my grinder to get sticky between cleanings?

Some stickiness is normal, especially with high-quality cannabis. However, if your grinder becomes difficult to turn within a few uses, you may need to increase cleaning frequency or the cannabis may be particularly resinous.
