the rod is at a.co/d/4fPkvCC and bushings is at a.co/d/65tFbXA the bolts, washers and nuts come from Ace Hardware. flange bolts and flange nylock nuts are .375. washers are brass .625"id x 1"od x .062.
It's been really good when I get to use it. I've heard others had problems with them. I don't use mine commercially just for my yard. It is really heavy duty and the motor has held up well. I've probably got a little over 50 hrs on it now. I guess only time will tell. I don't run it 8 hours at a time either. At the most probably 2 hours at a time.
I really appreciate the videos! I purchased one and I'm working on the same set up. I want to get mine a stretch from the shed like yours. What size cable did you run from the panel to vfd and vfd to screener?
Mine has 10-3 SO cable to the vfd and 12-4 SO cable from vfd. There are a lot of wire size calculators on the internet for the distances you need. Should be about 9 amps to vfd and 4.5 amps out. If it has the same motor as mine. I would buy a 1 1/2 HP vfd if I were to do it again. But mine runs great at 30hz.
I've only been able to use mine for about 30 yards of topsoil it's been too wet it just turns to mud. What broke? It seems to be made with quality parts and the welding is very good. Mine runs at half speed also so it's less violet. But works great when dirt is dry.
@SharpExcavation those screens are designed to be bent at the edges, rest in a frame, and be pulled under tension to achieve strength. My mounting tabs broke off at the wire and all the diverter pieces vibrated loose. Bolts on the motor also vibrated loose and now it has quit as well....
I’ve jumped this one across like yours also. I have it wired from a 240V breaker going into the VFD. The VFD at 50-60 hz only outputs around 60-75 volts between any 3 terminals. I have to crank it up to 400 hz to get 240V across any 3 output terminals. I purchased the VFD from Amazon and it supposed to power a 2 hp motor. At 30hz what voltage are you seeing at any 3 output terminals? Thanks for your help so far.
Is this Georgia? I wonder why they didn’t put sand and gravel underneath. How is it holding up so far, any cracks? I’ll be pouring a slab and I have 4’ of red clay.
you will also know if its running backwards because the screener will move backwards. when its running correctly it will stay in place. to reverse direction just switch any two hot wires.
yea when i get to use it my dirt is mud. and it keeps raining so i dont know when ill get to use it again. it works fine at 30hz for me it doesn't get hot and stays under rated amps.
there is an excellent video explaining the phases at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jN7oxvO6Pc.htmlsi=_p8TmcvbRBIVfZV. i will try to post a picture of my configuration later. mine is wired star configuration. about at 2:30 in the video.
Thanks. I will keep an eye out for that. I was just trying to widen my driveway so my trailers would not fall off. I'd like to put the double wall plastic pipe like the other one I did. That one was dry and I used a jumping jack on it. Thanks for your advice.
I got off it off eBay. WEG VFD CFW300A04P2S2NB20 200-240V / 1PH 1HP is the one i purchaseed for about a $125 nib. i would purchase a larger one maybe 1.5 hp as mine doesn't let it run at 60hz. but it operates well at 30hz and keeps it within rated amps. Automation direct is a good source and they are very helpful with any questions.
