I just got a brand new melanger from Cocoatown, and gave it a test spin with a very small amount of sugar. It squeaks SUPER loud. Any ideas on how to quiet it down? Someone suggested to run it with veg oil. Any thoughts appreciated!Thanks.

New Cocoatown Melanger squeaks
I hope I didn't mess this thing up.I decoded to put a little bit of canola oil in there and turned it on. After about a minute I slowly added some sugar. Finally I let it run for about 10 minutes. The high-pitched squeak has mostly subsided, except every once in a while. When I cleaned out the pure, there were a few little black specs, probably from the manufacturing process. It's hard to tell what they were.
I loosened the tension adjuster and it stopped the squeak on mine.Trelawnie
Mine squeaked SO loud when I first got it aswell, I figured I would post so you know what I did and so you know you are not alone.
Honestly I didnt do anything different, I just dealt with the squeak and about 2 days later of grinding chocolate it went away and I havn't heard it since. It just needs to grind itself out essentially!

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
