Air Moving Motors

I'm a Machinist for a large high-speed Mfg. Company in Northern CA.. I don't know much about motors, are they single or three phase? We have an elaborite conveying system which consists mainly of plastic interlinked mats of various width driven like a belt to move the product along. What we make is very light in weight there are several areas of the production line which uses vacum to hold the product to the mat as it bends to a vertical position for transferring between floors. These areas are called (oddly enough) "vacum transfers". I would estimate there to be easily 50 motors throughout the plant used for creating vacum, and they run 24hrs. a day. I'm guessing that 90% of them are three phase and between 1hp & 3hp. That's just a guess. Let me know some of the specs and what the price range is.

sorry, vacuum

Sonny,

These all sound like applications that we may be able to provide a good solutions for. Can I have our representation on the West Coast contact you to discuss? Our products can be located at www.ameteklamb.com.

Do you mean blowers (e.g., Roots blowers)? Blowers move large volumes of air at pressures of up to about 35 psi and, I understand, generate a partial vacuum, as well. I have clients who manufacture such blowers for various uses. Some are going to China for aeration use in waste water treatment. Other blowers are used for conveying granular or powder solids through pipelines and transport chutes.

Telex,

We make blowers ideal for low pressure, high CFM applications. Applications that use smaller regenerative blowers may be a good fit, as our products are much less expensive and we are introducing a brushless version for long life. Additionally, the same motor/blower combinations are used in commercial grade vacuum products, such as whole house vacuums or dental evacuation units that have an intermittent duty cycle. Some of our products can be seen at www.ameteklamb.com.

Do you import parts, materials, assemblies, finished goods? I am a lawyer and import/export regulation is my area.

We are a global company with manufacturing facilities throughout the world. We manufacture in Europe, Asia, North America and South America and are well versed in importing and exporting. Thanks,

Dave

Dave,

I hear that a lot and, if your company attempts to be well versed, then it is likely well ahead of many. Experience, however, has shown that nobody knows everything they need to know or does everything right...especially the global players, as they have so much more to keep track of and so many more scenarios that have to be reconciled with the law. Some of our clients are among the largest global companies and, yet, frequently bring their questions and/or problems to us...e.g., Halliburton. There is a huge gulf between "well versed" and perfect and the U.S. government intends to make a violator of everyone. Good luck.

can these motors be used in a wet environment, what are the details of these motors.
