I have a forty foot hay elevator with a twelve inch pulley. I have a 3/4 horse power motor to go on it. My question is, what size of pulley should be put on the motor so the elevator is not turning so fast? I would like to stick to only two pulleys, one on the motor one on the elevator, if possible. I appreciate any advise!

Mike

Do you have a 1725 RPM motor? or is it 3450 RPM?

We have a 26' or so elevator with a 2" pulley on the motor and 12' pulley to drive the chain. The motor is only 1/3 HP at 1725 RPM and it does just find pulling 3 or 4 bales up the elevator at a time. 2" is my thought and that is what everybody else around here uses maybe just a bigger motor though.

You made a good point regarding how many bales you put on the elevator at one time- that determines the load! I've seen people putting 6-8-10 bales on a 40 foot slow-moving elevator, and they wonder why the belt burns off with the small motor pulley.

Normally a conveyor drive uses a jack shaft to reduce chain speed. Otherwise you need a really small motor pulley and big final pulley. Look at commercial conveyors to see what they use. A two inch motor pulley provides little belt wrap and traction. Three inch motor, twenty-four inch final is an 8:1 reduction. 1725 motor would provide 215 rpm, but may not pull the load. Pulley of that diameter may obstruct use. That's why you need a two-stage.
