The L30GEK grinder offers more power, more torque and more uptime with the KOHLER® PCV740 Engine (24 hp, 747 cc). This is also one of the cleanest burning and most efficient propane engines on the market. And, the grinder comes equipped with all the Elite Series user-friendly features, as listed below.
Always use VAPOR tanks only with LAVINA propane machines. Do not fill over 80%, as this can cause freezing and pressure regulator damage. When propane equipment is used indoors, proper air ventilation with access to FRESH AIR and proper equipment maintenance (oil and filter changes, etc) are of critical importance for operator’s safety. Operators should always carry CO monitor or badge.
GRINDER FEATURES
- IMPROVED WATER SYSTEM with gravity-fed water supply from the water tank and external water supply from a hose (hose connection fitting is included). There is no water pump or misting system on the new machines.
- Rear wheel set makes grinder transportation and loading easier. It comes installed on all 20/25/30-inch Elite machines, and it is also available as an accessory for previous Elite models.
- Optional 3rd wheel for transportation & optional lever for lifting the machine up.
- Dust-proof planetary drive protects internal components from dust and moisture, which reduces maintenance and increases service life.
- The heads of all propane grinders have counter-clockwise / left rotation. Use the blue PCDs and Carbide Scrapers.
- Easy-to-use integrated weights. With the weights down, you increase the grinding head pressure, and you can grind more aggressively.
- Improved dust collection efficiency with adjustable skirt with a flexible brush, and a vacuum hose connection close to the dust source (with a metal camlock attachment).
- Adjustable handle bar with multiple handle positions for more convenient operation and transportation.
- LED lights for monitoring the floor in front and back.
- Convenient integrated lift points for moving the machine with a forklift.
- Charging phone station and durable stainless steel cup holder.
GRINDING TIPS
- Overlap around 25% of the machine work path between passes.
- Check dust skirt to make sure it is all the way down, touching the floor to reduce airborne dust. Replace skirt if worn out or damaged.
- When starting machine hold it firmly and start moving (don’t keep it in one spot while heads are spinning).
- When stopping machine, keep moving until the grinding heads stop.
- To tilt machine up for tooling changes, move the weights back.
- To add more head pressure and grind more aggressively, put the weights down / forward.
- Always lock the weights during transportation.
