I-Bar shifting during operation
We have 2 V Blenders (3 and 5 cu ft) and each I-Bar is set in place with set screws that become untightened during operation. This causes the I-Bar to separate from the collars and material enters the gaps and then burns the blend and mixes in with the entire batch upon discharge. Is there a re-configuration that is possible to avoid this occurrence?

I am assuming that you have a cantilevered bar. One bolt should have a pin at the end. This is a unique screw available from PK. You should consider if the bar is out of balance, they are dynamically balanced and weights are weleded on.
