That’s not bad except it will change day to day. Different products produce different chips at different speeds. Looking for a daily programmable.
How would that work and how will they hold up with this oily saw.
It changes day to day product to product. The operator will custom program the timer each day to which intervals are needed for the work that day.
Would it be acceptable for the operator to manually set an adjustable timer for each day's work?
It takes roughly 30 min to accumulate and cool down the chips to be carried away. The conveyor doesnt run all the time because they’re still very hot. there’s a small little trough that fills first then needs to be carried onto the conveyor and dumps.
For the most part it would be 10 min on 30 min off that’s an average. I’d like something with a couple dials to customize each day. 240V 1/4 HP motor
Not necessary. The hot chips accumulate into a small trough takes about 30 min after that time conveyor will take the cooled down chips from the trough to dump cart. It can then shut down and wait for trough to fill again. Right now it’s portable and turned by hand as needed.
Very simple. Add a timer to grin conveyor for eg 3 minutes in case saw starts again
Install in a NEMA 12 enclosure
Simpler yet would be to have the timer itself close the circuit for the 1/4hp motor. The ones I was looking at were rated at 5 amp resistive. I am thinking that would be good enough for a 1/4 hp motor, but best to check with the manufacturer.
I spoke with the client yesterday and asked that same question. It was to do with the cooling of the chips first. It’s a really short conveyor run like 10ft. Their concern was operator safety being near glowing hot chips. So there’s a cooling period of about 10min. It’s certainly a work in progress they’re trying to automate at least part of this process.
Yes plz
