Hi all,
I have an application involving an old Barrett Chip Spinner. The title describes it's function. You load in about 150-200 lbs of steel or brass chips into a basket, load the basket into the spinner and then run the sponner for maybe 5-10 mins which spins the oil out of them. Similar to the spin cycle on a washing machine.
The unit takes about 20 minutes to spin down when you stop it. The customer is looking for a faster stopping method. (I would add a braking resistor)
The motor nameplates data is as follows:
0326 frame
220V 3 phase
F.S. Amps - 15.8
Max amps - 90
1200 RPM
I only have 208V 3 phase to work with. I'm looking at an Automation Direct GS2 7.5HP model. The rated output current is 25A.
The machine is currently started across the line right now - no starters / overloads, etc..
I don't have a mfg. date but I know it's pretty old. I'm thinking it would be a good idea to use a line reactor with this motor.
For the safety portion, I'm going to be solenoid (power to unlock) locking the lid when the machine is running / motor moving. Movement is detected by phase voltage safety relay.
Any thoughts?
