Operational Efficiency

By delivering continuous, powerful vibration, the KEE-185-6 ensures a stable flow of materials in your process—minimizing clogs and maximizing throughput. With adjustable force settings, you can fine-tune the vibration intensity to handle everything from delicate powders to dense aggregates.

Safety and Compliance

Designed to align with common industrial standards, the KEE-185-6 features robust construction and high-quality seals to keep dust and other particles away from the motor’s internal components. This not only preserves operational integrity but also reduces potential ignition sources, an important factor for facilities handling combustible materials.

The motor’s adjustable force setting allows operations to stay within safe vibration levels for personnel and surrounding equipment. Additionally, the IP55 protection level helps meet typical workplace safety guidelines by preventing accidental contact with energized parts. When installed according to manufacturer recommendations—such as proper grounding and secure mounting—the KEE-185-6 supports a safer work environment compliant with OSHA and other relevant regulations.

Installation Tips

  1. Mounting Surface: Install on a robust, flat surface capable of withstanding high vibratory loads.
  2. Proper Clearance: Maintain sufficient space around the motor for routine greasing and visual inspections.
  3. Voltage Verification: Confirm your facility’s electrical supply matches the motor’s specifications.
  4. Weight Adjustment: If reducing force from the 100% setting, ensure both eccentric weights are adjusted equally to maintain balance.
  5. Routine Maintenance: Follow the recommended grease schedule (Shell Alvania #3), and inspect bearings for optimal performance.

Integration and Compatibility

The KEE-185-6 6-Pole Industrial Vibrating Motor adapts seamlessly to a wide range of industrial processes and equipment. Whether mounted on feeders, screeners, hoppers, or vibratory tables, it provides a high-force solution that can be easily tuned to match specific application requirements. Standard motor configurations in multiple voltage options (230/460 V, 575 V, or 230/380/460 V) ensure straightforward installation across different facilities and regions.

Its compact yet robust design facilitates incorporation into both new and existing systems, minimizing retrofit complexities. The motor’s adjustable eccentric weights allow users to customize vibration intensity, making it suitable for diverse materials—from fine powders to dense aggregates. By delivering consistent performance and allowing on-the-fly adjustments, the KEE-185-6 integrates effortlessly into automated lines, maximizing throughput while reducing bottlenecks.

Durability and Maintenance

Constructed for heavy-duty, continuous-duty operation, the KEE-185-6 is built with industrial-grade materials that stand up to abrasive and demanding environments. The IP55-rated enclosure protects critical components from dust and incidental moisture, helping the motor maintain peak performance over long service intervals.

Maintenance is straightforward, primarily involving periodic greasing with recommended Shell Alvania #3. A regular inspection schedule—checking bearings, seals, and overall vibration output—helps identify potential wear early, preventing unexpected downtime. Thanks to a proven design and minimal moving parts beyond the eccentric weights, the KEE-185-6 requires relatively little upkeep, making it a cost-effective choice over its operational lifetime.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the vibration force?
Arrow
Force adjustment is straightforward: simply change the position of the eccentric weights. The motor comes preset at 100% force, but you can scale down as needed.
Can the KEE-185-6 operate continuously at maximum force?
Arrow
Yes. The motor is rated for continuous duty at its maximum force output, making it well-suited for high-demand applications.
What voltage options are available?
Arrow
Standard configurations include 230/460 V, 575 V, and 230/380/460 V. Verify your site requirements before ordering.
Is IP55 protection sufficient for outdoor use?
Arrow
In most cases, yes. IP55 indicates dust-tight protection and resistance to low-pressure water jets. For extremely harsh environments, consider additional enclosures or covers.
