Replacing the door sealing rubber of the Vieira MCO hammer mill
Updated on By Moinhos Vieira – technical team
In short
Product leaking from the grinding box door means the sealing rubber is worn. To replace it: remove the worn rubber, clean the surface, glue the new one with contact adhesive and let the adhesive set before grinding.
Step by step
Switch off and open the door
With the mill switched off and the rotor stopped, open the grinding box door.
Remove the worn rubber
Scrape off the worn sealing rubber with suitable tools.
Clean the door surface
Clean the area where the new rubber will be glued thoroughly: it must be free of dust, oil and product residue.
Use cleaning solvent
Clean the new rubber and the door surface with cleaning solvent.
Glue the new rubber
Glue the new sealing rubber in place with contact adhesive.
Let the adhesive set
Wait a few hours before grinding again so that the adhesive sets.
If you are unsure about any step, stop and contact technical assistance.

Use the original Moinhos Vieira sealing rubber. When ordering, give the model shown on the mill identification plate. The hopper rubber is also part of the sealing set.
