$25 grain mill motor from bread maker

[scooterism]

Re-awakening an old thread,

So, I picked up one of these for a tenner off GT, it's a Breville Breadman with the big block 425W motor.

Can I just ask, if I remove the blue and yellow from the board and connect to the mains with a switch, I'm good to go? (w/ earths intact)

No it hs to connect through the starter capacitor. Check out posts 15 and also 34.

I don't want to seem patronising (God knows how guilty I've been in this department) but if you're not completely sure what you're doing with mains power wiring at least get someone who is to check it over - preferably a sparky. 240 volts can be unforgiving and even if it "works" the next person (or child) who comes along can get a rude shock.

I'm trying to work out what my final rpm is, any tricks?

Count how many revolutions it does in a minute

Thanks for the inspiration... Got mine finished, sits on a bucket and less awkward than a drill. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRiVVcnqqP/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1n80jjk04qmx2

Good stuff. Mine is still going strong almost 5 years later.

Hey cepticwhat sort of motor is that?
It looks nice and neat and a complete package
I’ve also been looking at a similar type of motor on eBay for about $14 12v 120rpm that also has a 10kg torque

It is the base housing from an old Kambrook Bread Maker that I purchased new in '97. I replaced it with aI$10 salvo's machine that makes bigger loaves.

Using the existing housing keeps the motor and reduction pulley in alignment. The motor cover is the aluminium bread pan with switch added and vent holes drilled. I wanted to try this option, using an 8mm to 10mm spider coupler, as it minimised the sideways torque on the pulley, removed mounting issues and allowed me to enclose the belt, 240v and other bitey bits.

Here are some pics of how I mounted the housing on the bamboo base board that came with the mill. I had to cut and notch the base board to mount the casing. A hammer sorted out the aluminium bread-pan mounting points.

definitely makes mine look like overkill, just finished it this week

How many bodies can you get through in an hour ..... my brain immediately went to the woodchipper scene in Fargo!

The thread that (hopefully) keeps on giving.

All pics will be put on at the end.

Picked up a breville bread maker today and just ripped it apart. The cap has no tabs just 2 wires soldered directly to the motor see pics.

Any help on this side of things would be appreciated.
Cheers

AC1=Active 240V in
AC2= Neutral out
M01 and M02 are power to the motor.

Unscrew and remove the Blue and brown wires from that terminal block (Otherside of the 240 v plug) and cut the wires at M01 and M02 and screw them into the terminal block (Either way is fine) Turn the power on and the motor should work.
You then just need to add a switch on the active (Brown wire)

 

[solidute]

Thanks mate, much appreciated.

 

[solidute]

Works well. Thanks.

Where’s the VSD?

After reading this thread i thought i would jump on the band wagon, picked up a breville BM for $10 and will pull it apart tomorrow.

 

[Hangover68]

Gutted the bm and made a start on the motor mount bracket by utilising the original bracket redrilled, need to fold up some alloy sheet to raise the mill so the drive wheel clears the base board.
