Grimpuppy that looks awesome but the issue would be finding a good way to secure it to the side. I was thinking of a way to.press it between the twomsides but I don’t think that would work well. Any thoughts?
At that point I think you are looking at cutting a groove in the spline shaft that would accept a C clip-style retainer. Probably some drilling nto the sheet metal side support for some self tapping screws for the cover?
Funny you should mention that.
Machining a grove in the shaft and using a C-clip was one of my first ideas to hold the gear on. But I knew if I did that it would be a one off build that couldn’t be replicated. Right now I use an o-ring on the splined shaft to hold the gear in place. Seems to be working OK. -
So that was just a design to kind of get started and work off of. It is not practical though. First you would have to drill holes in the side frame to mount the cover. After drilling the one hole to mount the pawl, I don’t want to drill multiple holes. It took forever to drill that one hole with a brand new cobalt bit and some cuss words. My thought now is to make either the cover just a big square or the mounting flange of the cover a big square and use the existing four screws on the side frame to bolt it on.

I think I get what you are thinking. But the pawl is mounted with a shoulder bolt with a spacer between the frame and the pawl. This spaces the pawl out so it is even with the gear. The pawl can’t be mounted with a thumb screw or a regular bolt. As it will prevent the pawl from moving when tightened.

Grimpuppy would a flat cover be reasonable? I don’t see the benefit of a full 3D cover as you couldn’t easily wash behind it. A flat oblong plate over it would protect your fingers from the pinch zone. Plus you could simply wash it and use a sink sprayer to rinse. Maybe even use a thumb screw to hold it all together- for easy disassembly.
This is a rough sketch of what I had in mind. It would need to be raised to clear the gear and have some kind of flange on the bottom to mount it. I am not sure what you mean by a flat plate, but I am open to suggestions for sure.

Jonathon Looks good and seems to function correctly.

I don’t think there IS a single exact correct number here.When I was sourcing Encapsulated Lactic Acid, trying to get samples, the primary supplier I found for both that AND ECA was BalChem Inc. I talked to their Encapsulated food additives product rep. They sent me a product info book to pick which samples I wanted. Smallest purchase was 100kg. There were 20 or so variations of ECA with varying coat thickness and melt points. They produce numerouse variations for industry to get exactly what they want for various products and production methods. Depending on where Walton’s (or other vendors) sources its ECA, I am sure there is an actual range of melt points and times that could be correct. I expect it would be very difficult to find the exact actual numbers, unless someone can find the actual BalChem product # being used, or same if there is another manufacturer.
