I can hardly believe it but today I can say that the project is finished or is it just beginning
Four + years ago I built a drum sander that was loosely based on the Sand Flee
It was a sanding drum 125mm diameter, driven by a 2 Hp motor, that you pysically pushed your piece over the drum which only just protruded through the bench top. Even before I had finished this thing I decided that it needed a conveyor belt to pull the piece,that needed sanding, past the drum. So I shelved the whole deal.
I got a bit of interest/enthusiasm and started to look at the web trying to find information on how to go about making a conveyor belt. Did not find any thing!!! So next was to glean Ebay. What came up was a motor with right angle drive coupled to it and also connected to a VSD. It had been connected to a Fire Curtain in a public hall. The Electrician that decommissioned it had it for sale.
Well things (enthusiasm)halted until early this year. I nutted out a design, no drawings just cut this welded that.....and it was ready for the drive. VernonV in Armidale was good enough to modify the original electrical set up so that I could use it on the conveyor.
The short story is that today I sorted out some minor teething problems and the thing works!!Here are some photos of the finished article
The photos show the Sanding Belt I used for the Conveyor Belt, The 240 Volt 2Hp motor that drives the drum and the 415Volt Motor coupled to the right angle drive. Its speed is controlled by a VSD that also gives me forward and reverse of the Conveyor.
