Fellow Atmos lid deconstruction
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 гру 2022
- After receiving several replacement lids for my Fellow Atmos bean storage canisters, I decided to take one apart to see if I could repair it or at least, see how it is made. After deconstructing 3, I think I finally have an understanding how they work. NOTE: These lids CANNOT be repaired or disassembled without destroying them. The only replaceable parts are the gasket, metal mesh, and filter.
I apologize that my left hand is in the way too much of the time. Perhaps I'll make another video with the camera at a different angle.
Thank you for this video. I was curious about how the vacuum system works, and I found out that I can actually take apart the mesh for a proper cleaning !
You're welcome. I like taking things apart to see how they work. Usually, I don't have to destroy things so much to see how they are put together.
So the twisting motion is the mechanism continuously drawing up air from the cannister and pushing it out via the piston to create the vacuum seal?
Correct.
@@BrucePappas Thanks for the video, been wondering about how it works for awhile now
Do you know where to buy the replacement polyester filters?
I don't. Contact Fellow and see if they have them available: fellowproducts.com/
Let me know if you find replacements.
Alternatively, you might be able to furnace filter paper to fashion your own, such as this. www.amazon.com/Material-Filters-Bacteria-Particles-Allergens/dp/B08K2NT5BF
Hi TC. i. I store my beans in plastic lunch bags with a double seal and then pop about 3 of them into the cannister. ii. After say 14 months the vacuum retention was negligible (and not due to coffee dust.) iii. Appears general particulates in the air clog up the paper/poly filter and they need to be gently cleaned with a can of pressurised air. I tried that and it really didn't make much difference. Now I've seen inside I think the O ring wears and doesn't provide a sufficient seal. Won't buy again.
