Bobosan Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'd say so! You gonna use a silo for a mill jar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LambentPyro Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) I couldn't even think of a method to separate the BP from a jar that fits that size motor. Edited November 13, 2013 by LambentPyrotechnics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrB Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Looks like a great find, but i'm more interested in where you got the tiny mountain dew. I have a sister that is nuts about dollhouses, and she's always looking for new additions to make it more... Realistic. BTW, why are there tiny lifting rings on the engi.... Oh... ;- ) B!

fredjr Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) I once made a large PVC mill jar 12" id x 36" long but with media was just too heavy, so it sits unused. The pictured motor Is 500 HP 3 phase 480. So the mill jar it could turn would need a crane... Edited November 13, 2013 by fredjr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varmint Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 well, with an appropriately sized mill container filled to capacity, that would take on hell of a lot of work to make a bunker that could hope to mitigate a mishap! DAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedrill Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 or think of it this way with an extravagant system of long rods some pillow blocks and a few belts you could turn about 130 000 6lb jars with comp but id have to say if your turn around was every 4 hours good luck changing them all in that time hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coulterbart Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 or think of it this way with an extravagant system of long rods some pillow blocks and a few belts you could turn about 130 000 6lb jars with comp but id have to say if your turn around was every 4 hours good luck changing them all in that time hahaha That would be a lot of belts to replace! I am just picturing a tunnel of long rods with hundreds of jars on each. Rofl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedrill Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 And 40 cheap laborers all struggling to screen media and refill jars hahaha And not that many belts if the rods are a mile long haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Well I do know someone who had a plastic 200l drum on his mill, half full of ceramic media and he had 30Kg of good powder every two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivars21 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 That thing is huge, how much did you pay for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shouldnoteatindat Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 why would you possibly want a motor that big? do you plan to mill in a 55 gallon drum? That would really suck if it blew well you were milling i would hear it form my house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredjr Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 LOL, Post was a joke guys. That is replacement motor for exhasut blower on paint oven in automotive plant where I work. It's actually not even close to the biggest motor I work with. We have air compressors where the motors are the size of a short school bus, run on 3 phase 14.2KV and have their own substation.
