ELECTRIC MOTOR RECOMMENDATIONS

Following is a listing of suggested motor and frame sizes. Ratings are based on “normal dairy feed rations”. Heavier

rations such as feedmill use, heavy/sticky beef rations, or industrial use, contact factory. A smaller motor may be

adequate for easy-mixing materials, and a larger motor may be required for difficult materials*. Wiring and overload

protection should be sized according to the motor size installed. The motor mount will fit the recommended motor

size. Other motor sizes may require additional holes to be drilled in mount or a different mount. Dual motor mount,

frame and shield are standard on 3025, 3030, 3036 & 3042 models. All models are designed to be used with a

motor operating at 1725-1750 RPM.
