What size motor would you guys recommend for motorizing a grain mill?
I plan on a 110V TEFC motor, but I was unsure on HP rating. . .I know more is better, but I didn't want to go overboard.
I plan on milling 50 lb. bags of grain at a time. . .the rollers are gonna be 1.5"-2" solid stainless steel 10.5" long (10.5" is the actual length of the portion doing the milling. . .the OAL of the roller will be longer due to the support shaft on one side and the drive shaft on the input side) and I plan on driving both rollers through a set of gears.
Thanks!
