Operational Efficiency

With a four-pole configuration operating at 1,800 RPM, the KEE-12-4 provides a slightly gentler yet still powerful vibration compared to high-speed two-pole motors. This makes it suitable for materials that benefit from a more controlled flow or compaction process. Adjusting the eccentric weights is quick and straightforward, ensuring that changes in production demands—like a switch in product size or density—won’t slow you down.

Safety and Compliance

Safety and Compliance
IP66-Rated Enclosure Keeps dust and moisture out of critical motor components, essential for continuous-duty applications.
Sealed Bearings Minimizes maintenance and prevents contaminants from compromising motor function.
Durable Construction Heavy-duty housing stands up to abrasive materials, impacts, and frequent start-stop cycles.
Thermal Monitoring While not built into the motor itself, external overload or temperature sensors can be easily paired for extra protection.

Installation Tips

  1. Solid Foundation: Ensure a sturdy mounting surface or frame capable of handling the maximum vibratory force (2,640 lbs).
  2. Proper Orientation: Align the motor so the vibration direction suits your particular feeder, screen, or hopper design.
  3. Secure Electrical Setup: Match voltage supply (230/460 V) and use appropriate breakers or fuses for safe operation.
  4. Eccentric Weight Adjustments: Begin at the factory setting, then make incremental changes to dial in the desired amplitude.
  5. Regular Inspections: Check for loose bolts or wear on seals and bearings to maintain peak performance and prevent downtime.

Integration and Compatibility

Suitable for a broad range of equipment and processes, the KEE-12-4 easily mounts onto:

  • Vibratory Tables: Provides steady compaction or settling for packaging or casting.
  • Feeders & Conveyors: Helps maintain a consistent flow rate for bulk handling.
  • Screens & Classifiers: Improves throughput and accuracy by efficiently sifting or sorting materials.
  • Bins & Hoppers: Reduces bridging or clogging, especially in larger storage units.

Durability and Maintenance

Featuring a heavy-duty frame and sealed, greased bearings, the KEE-12-4 endures long hours under challenging conditions. Routine preventive care—such as verifying electrical connections, cleaning the motor housing, and inspecting the bearing seals—extends its operational lifespan. With proper attention, you can minimize downtime and ensure the motor consistently delivers optimal vibratory force.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a 4-pole motor differ from a 2-pole motor?
Arrow
A 4-pole motor runs at around 1,800 RPM (under load), offering a more moderate vibration intensity compared to 3,600 RPM. This can be beneficial for materials requiring gentler handling or extended contact time.
Is the vibratory force adjustable beyond the factory setting?
Arrow
Yes. The KEE-12-4 is preset at 100% force, but you can modify the eccentric weights to reduce or increase the amplitude as needed.
Can I use it in outdoor installations?
Arrow
Absolutely. The IP66 rating and dust-tight housing protect the motor in diverse conditions, although adding extra shelter might be advised in areas with extreme weather.
What routine maintenance does the motor require?
Arrow
Periodic checks for secure mounting bolts, stable eccentric weights, and intact bearing seals are typically sufficient. Regularly inspect for signs of wear or damage to prolong motor life.
