    HI Guys.Im interested in getting a Minore III.... how is its reliability (given there are a couple of broken ones mentioned in this thread)?
    Hi Gryphon and welcome.

    Worry not about the Minore III. Theyre rock solid. None of the issues experienced with the Minore II. We have sold quite a few now and no problems whatsoever....

    regards

    Chris

    but the real question is, should i upgrade the temp controller? speaking to paul from expobar it may cost about $170-$200 to update it to a minore III set-up (pid plus changing the electrics so it is relay (i think))...
    I reckon so - I think its a decent upgrade, and if you ever sell it you can call it a Minore II.5

    More control over uniformity of the coating, no concerns re: overspray of nearby surfaces, many more options of the type of coating compound(s) to use... Mostly to do with durability and longevity.

    Thats a few reasons CF and Im sure there are many more...

    That was pretty much exactly what was in my head when I made the consistency comment. It does make sense when you think about the way the powder-coat surface is applied (based on Dens explanation), as compared to painting.

    We know how much love we have for these machines when we start comparing methods on how the inside frames are coated lol! ;D

    An inside shot. Note that behind the front panel its all powder coated. This vertical face is where the earth wires are grounded.

    Not 100% sure what advantage there would be, maybe its a consistency or cost-related thing

    I just checked my camera and I have photos of the interior of the Minore.

    The black powder coated steel frame is clearly visible.

    Ill re-size and post them this evening.

    cheers,
    Rohan

    hence the inside gets a coating too
    Thanks Dennis; I understand the technique.
    What I dont understand, as my Expobar is SS on the outside and I dont remember seeing any powder coating on the inside, is why there would be coating on the inside of a Minore.

    Re: Minore Died!!

    Chris from TalkCoffee informed me that the new GPPs being shipped out are apparently also coming with powder-coated frames (only visible from inside the machine)

    As opposed to the first batches of GPPs (including mine) which were painted.

    Not 100% sure what advantage there would be, maybe its a consistency or cost-related thing

    Sorry to hear about your Minore krusty. As an observer like KK, Id also be inclined to have them do the update for that price. Do you know if theyre providing any sort of limited warranty on the update?

    Why would they powder coat the inside?
    Renzo may be able to add some info TG, though for the time being...

    Powder coating is sprayed onto a pre-cleaned metal surface. In simple terms, the powder has an electric charge and the metal surface acts to ground the charge and the powder sticks to the surface before being cured. It pretty much envelops whatever its sprayed on as long as the surface is clean. hence the inside gets a coating too.

    Den "not just you average roaster" phile.
