Question 1

How to replace the bearings of the ATIKA Profi 145 S FB mixer?

Accepted Answer

According to the technical manual of the ATIKA Profi 145 S FB, the ball bearings of the drum and the drive shaft are sealed bearings with lifetime lubrication. This means that under normal operation, these bearings do not need to be replaced or lubricated.

Your regular maintenance should be limited to:

A periodic visual inspection to detect any signs of wear
A cleaning of the drum after each use
A quick removal of concrete or mortar residues from the drive mechanism

If you notice a malfunction (abnormal noise, drum not turning regularly), it is a sign that the bearings may have a problem. In this case, replacing the bearings goes beyond basic maintenance operations and requires specialized intervention. Contact ATIKA technical support for the disassembly and replacement procedure suitable for your mixer.

Question 2

Where are the air intake and exhaust grills located on the ATIKA ALE 300 N dehumidifier for optimal placement?

Accepted Answer

The ATIKA ALE 300 N dehumidifier operates on the principle of condensation: the humid ambient air is drawn in through an intake grill equipped with an air filter, passes over the refrigerant element where the moisture condenses, and then the dried and slightly warmed air (about 2 to 5 °C above the ambient temperature) is expelled through an exhaust grill. To precisely identify these grills, refer to your user manual or look for the side or front openings of the casing, usually marked by the direction of the airflow.

For optimal placement of the ATIKA ALE 300 N dehumidifier, it is preferable to install it in the middle of the room to ensure good air circulation throughout the space. If this is not possible, position the device to ensure that the air intake and blowing are unobstructed. Maintain a minimum distance of 10 cm from walls and furniture, especially in front of the intake grill and behind the exhaust grill.

Follow these installation conditions to optimize performance: place the device on a horizontal surface to allow water to drain without obstacles, do not install it near a heat source (radiator, fireplace, etc.), and close the doors and windows of the room during use to prevent humid air infiltration from outside.

Avoid unsuitable locations: do not place the dehumidifier directly against a wall or furniture that would block the airflow, and keep it away from combustion sources. Never obstruct the air intake and exhaust openings with objects, fabrics, or any other impediments, as this would seriously compromise the dehumidification efficiency.

After assembling or transporting your ATIKA ALE 300 N, leave the device in an upright position for at least one hour before putting it into operation. This pause allows the refrigerant to settle properly in the circuit. Also, respect the operating range: only use it at an ambient temperature between 5 °C and 32 °C.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the drum covers on the ATIKA Profi 145 S FB cement mixer?

Accepted Answer

The drum covers on the ATIKA Profi 145 S FB cement mixer serve several important functions:

Protection: They protect the inside of the drum from dust, debris, and other external contaminants that could affect the quality of the mix.
Safety: They prevent materials from escaping during mixing, thereby reducing the risk of splashes that could injure the user or damage the work environment.
Mixing efficiency: By limiting heat and moisture loss, these covers help improve the quality and homogeneity of the cement mix.

In summary, the drum covers provide better protection, safety, and performance when using the mixer.

Question 4

What is the rotation speed of the ATIKA COMPACT 100 concrete mixer and is it correct at 36 RPM?

Accepted Answer

The ATIKA COMPACT 100 concrete mixer is designed to operate at a slow rotation speed of approximately 36 revolutions per minute (RPM). This reduced speed is intentional to ensure a homogeneous mixture of the cement without overly agitating or overworking the mix.

A slow rotation speed allows for proper mixing of the materials while preventing the concrete from becoming too aerated or the components from separating. Thus, 36 RPM is an appropriate and correct speed for this type of device.
