Bulk Buy 12" Pulley For Millmaster

[Back Yard Brewer]

I am in the same boat as a lot of other brewers in regards to needing a pulley for my Millmaster. With this in mind and after reading various threads I rang Luke at Australian Pulley Company. As has been stated in another thread they cast once a month or so. Unfortunately I missed the boat this time. I can either pay around $100 for a one off or wait around a month or more for the next run. My other option is to place a minimum order for 20! Are there any interested brewers out there? I am looking at a 12" pulley with the standard 12mm x 4mm centre.

For what it is worth I am running a 910rpm motor coupled with a 3" pulley. If I run the 12" pulley on my Millmaster I should get a reduction of somewhere between 200 and 250rpm.

The pulley would be $45 + postage.

Possibly. No plans to (properly) motorise mine any time soon but it is on the to do list. Long list.

i thought you will be needing a reduction so that the mill runs at between 200 - 300rpm??

Possibly but i need a motor as well ...

I steered to the lower side of the RPM. No particular reason but for the fact I wanted to. I reckon an 11" would have given me around 250 RPM.

Possibly but i need a motor as well ...

I had a .37kw motor at 910rpm with a 3" pulley delivered to my front door today by Fastway for $123. Delivered to the Barossa from an Adelaide based company.

One less thing to think about when I finally get around to doing it.

Not for me I am setting up mine with a direct drive motor via a gear box.I think the whole wheel thing is going to be too dangerous particularly when mine gets used so often.Dont forget a good safety guard.Good luck.

Luke at APC is the go!

And as Gryphon pointed out, especially for insurance coverage purposes a belt drive guard is required or your claims will be invalidated. And no long-haired freaky deaky people leaning over your running motor wanting to see how it works And no loose clothing or dangling jewelry either so SWMBO can go back inside the house where she belongs h34r:

That said I've seen many a LHBS without one and mine currently still has not but then I'm still building my Grain Master 5000 Work Bench which has plans for one as long as I can sort out a modular one as I have a non-standard milling setup


Cheers,

I will take one - making the assumption that they will be keyed...
