Hello there,
I was looking for some advice from the community on re-building my motorized malt mill following a move across the country. The existing build I have uses the following components:
- Monster Mill 2.0 (1.5” rollers, 3/8” drive)
- Century GF2034 motor (1/3 hp, 48 frame)
- sheave and belt pulley (10:1.5 drive)
I am definitely looking to make an upgrade, as the mill has a tendency to bind and slip, and is extremely noisy (think it has something to do with the eccentric loading of the shaft due to tension in the belt). I was very interested in a build similar to this one, but with my existing mill and motor.
I was hoping the community had some feedback for mounting a 48 frame electric motor to a 3/8” keyed drive mill. All of the affordable options I found for reduction gearboxes were for 56C frame motors.
Thanks in advance!
