Its a roller door motor stripped off an old redundant installation...
I got a bunch of them for the guys in Adelaide who were looking at motorising their mills. I made an innocent post
here and wham, I had alot of work on my hands
They are geared up to high hell. I, like Raven19, use an old water bottle as my hopper, you can actually fit close to 6kg of grain in there. Flick the switch and it goes without missing a beat. Easily, this would crush even if it had 20kgs of grain on top of the rollers. Originally, the motors are designed to lift doors 5.5m wide by 3m high... That's a big roller door!
Draws about 2.5A @ 12vdc when crushing. Albeit, a little on the slow side... Does about 40RPM :lol:
To give you an idea, it crushes ~5kg of grain in about 10 mins. Big deal, you start it up, walk away and do something else :beer:
