Nutribullet extractor blade maintenance and avoid synthetic grease

  • Maintain your extractor blade to extend its life and avoid buying a new one every 6 months as the manufacturer suggests. I favor cocount oil or shea butter rather than synthetic food grade silicone grease to lubricate the parts. One could make a concoction with oils and melted beeswax to get a certain consistency. This is just my attempt at keeping this extractor blade going. I have owned 3 Nutribullet blenders over the past few years and tried several aftermarket parts with variable success. They are great blenders for the ease of use, cleanup, price point, and small footprint, but they have their shortcomings. I am curious to see what others are doing to keep their blender working.

    Very helpful. I needed just a little piece of info regarding screwing rubber bearing CLOCKWISE. I had a hard time assembling it straight from the box due to luck of these information. I kept on trying to screw it on the wrong way. Thank you! 😀

    Thank you Danh Ngo. I noticed that mechanical oil has also been leaking into the blend.... this is very concerning to me because who knows how long I've been ingesting this. I did one last test with clear filtered water and it was indeed leaking into the blend. I will watch the rest of your video to learn more, but I have also order a new blade attachment off of Amazon.

    Lubricating the shaft does nothing. The black grease is from your worn out sealed bearings. The beatings must be replaced.

    Why not instead use Silicone grease? It's not toxic (if manufacturer days so), will last long, blocks water, can resist high and low temperatures, will likely not leak away as easily as other grease. It can be used in washing machines for oil sealing rings at water pump in your dishwasher, or water taps (though with water pipe screws, i would prefer some layers of teflon tape).
    It's even used in my old 13 year old electric shaver, hadn't gone dried up yet (checked when disassembling to clean old hair and skin fat gunk)...
    Vegetable oils i imagine dry up faster, attract dust and depending on temperature may turn less oily, and over time when coconut (or whatever vegetable) oil reacts with oxygen, it would go bad.

    • @dropndeal

      Do NOT add any grease. Any black oil or grease is leaking from the “sealed” bearings that are no longer sealed. The bearings should be replaced for proper operation.

    There is a very thin washer and also another seeming mini nut/washer about 1/2" down the nut preventing me from pushing the mechanism down and apart from the grey plastic housing (I didn't see this in your demonstration). I have no idea how to take this 'washer' thing off since it's so thin and seemingly stuck to the nut. Any ideas?

    • @tinkerdan
      @tinkerdan  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I suspect that the bearings are worn out and leaking water. You may have to change the bearings. There are other videos posted on how to do this.

    I just bought a new blade assembly from the manufacturer and disassembled it before use. There isn't any grease in it. It relies entirely on the bearings. Oiling the rod probably doesn't do anything.
    I attempted to grease one with shot bearings and it didn't help at all.

  • @AtmaS
    @AtmaS 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for your explanations.. The nutribullet bearing rust easily as water will seep into the bearing.
    Oiling the blades is a good idea to extend the life of the base blade. Is there a way to stop the seapage of water into the bearing? Water causes the bearing to rust over time and eventually fail.

    • @tinkerdan
      @tinkerdan  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I found out that when you end up getting a generic replacement blade say from Amazon, it is a good idea to keep the nylon washer from the old retired blade and see if you can incorporate it to the new replacement blade as a spacer, especially if it has a slight up and downward slide. This has helped my blade not have as much wobble and reduce premature wear. My blades are lasting about 12 to 18 months with daily use.

    • @AtmaS

      @@tinkerdan Thanks Danh Ngo. I notice the original Shaft of the blades not of a constant diameter. Nearer to the blades the diameter is about 0.5mm larger then diameter which is at the bearings. Spinning of the blades is fine after replacing the bearings. The problem i observe is water seeps around the shaft into the bearing. Overtime rust will form up. The silicone and nylon washer are of not much. Any idea from where we could buy the silicon and nylon washers?
      I reckon, the washers should be changed to maintain a good grasp of the shaft.
      Is there a solution to make a perfect tight fitting of the washers so liquid does not get into the bearings.
      Any thoughts and comments ?
      Thanks

  • @DarkIris007
    @DarkIris007 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It seems those areas that you are lubricating specially the areas that comes in contact with liquid, lubrication will wash off in no time! Also the shaft of the blade should not need lubrication because the two bearings are responsible for smooth rotation of the shaft!! Of course cleaning the shaft and inspecting it for unusual wear is a good idea! if you see scratches or any kind of deep wear on metal shaft that should warn you about the bad condition of your bearings ( possibly rusted or ceased up bearings ). If you are good with this kind of work get yourself a pair of sealed stainless bearings and replace the original bearings.

  • @dropndeal

    Do not add any sort of synthetic grease, or oils to the shaft. Oils such as coconut or olive will go rancid, and that’s the last thing you want to ingest. The black grease or oil is leaking from the failed bearings. It is the bearings that must be replaced.

    • @tinkerdan
      @tinkerdan  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think beeswax alone is too solid at room temperature or when you have cold contents in the container. It would be better blended with less viscous oils like coconut oil. I would strive for the viscosity of shea butter if you try a blend. Good luck.

    Hey, Danh thanks for this video. I got a second-hand Nutribullet 600W blender for a friend and I am in the process of changing the 2 sealed bearings that sit in the blade shaft, as the ball bearings themselves were rusted along with the "sealed" housing the ball bearings were held in. It's difficult to pop them out of the shaft, but this video helps alot:
    th-cam.com/video/Iw6VXRSHyNM/w-d-xo.html
    I myself have a brand new Nutribullet 900W and after a couple weeks of using it, I noticed the blade got slightly loose, meaning it slides very slightly up and down inside the shaft. I tried tightening it (counterclockwise) so we'll see over time if it gets more loose. I thought perhaps liquid will seep into the shaft where the bearings are held, causing them to rust over time. The cause of this might be because one time I packed the blender cup too full and had to screw the blade on the cup with a little bit of force. (This is not recommended in the instructions). This blender motor is powerful and any overloading of ingredients in the cup may cause the blade to loosen, in my opinion. What do you think?
    I never thought of using food grade lubricant like coconut oil or shay butter. Thanks for that tip!
