Crathco 3587 PLA047 Aftermarket Impeller
This Crathco 3587 PLA047 aftermarket impeller is a precision-engineered magnetic mixing impeller designed for a 1:1 drop-in replacement of worn internal drive components. As a veteran technician knows, the impeller is the heart of the bubbler beverage dispenser agitation system. This black universal model replaces the legacy blue and red variants, providing a 1.8-inch diameter profile that ensures optimal fluid dynamics and consistent cooling for Grindmaster 3587 compliant units. It is critical for maintaining the proper beverage dispenser spray pattern and preventing refrigeration issues caused by stagnant product. When you hear a chattering noise or notice reduced agitation, the nylon bearing surface or internal magnet is likely compromised. This replacement integrates seamlessly with the Crathco 3220 sleeve bearing to restore mechanical efficiency. Engineered for high-volume commercial duty, it maintains OEM performance standards across a wide range of popular Classic and Simplicity series models.
Fits Bubbler Models: D112, D15, D25, D25-4, D35, D35-4, E27, E29, E47, and E49.
Key Benefits
- Universal Compatibility: Engineered to replace both Crathco 3587 and Grindmaster part numbers, consolidating truck stock for multiple D and E series units.
- Enhanced Durability: Features an industrial-grade nylon bearing that resists friction-related heat buildup and premature wear.
- Sanitary Design: Constructed with a smooth surface finish for easy cleaning and compliance with food safety protocols.
- Optimized Agitation: Restores the necessary spray and circulation required to prevent ice buildup on the evaporator and maintain uniform drink temperature.
Common Questions
When should I replace the Crathco 3587 impeller?
Replace the impeller if the bearing surface shows more than 0.5mm of wear or if the inner white center section is no longer flush with the body. A noisy "chattering" unit usually indicates a worn impeller axle or bearing.
Will this impeller fit the newer Simplicity Series?
Yes, this is the universal replacement impeller designed to fit the broad catalog of Crathco cold beverage dispensers, including the D and E series bubblers.
Do I need to replace the bearing sleeve at the same time?
For a complete restoration of the magnetic drive system, technicians recommend inspecting the 3220 sleeve bearing. If the flange is thinner than a penny (approx. 1.77mm), replace it alongside the impeller to prevent future motor damage.
