Power & control
05 July 2013
Available from Michael Smith Engineers, the Finish Thompson range of drum emptying pumps now comes with the option of a new high performance, variable speed electric motor which provides 650W of continuous power combined with infinitely variable speed control.
The M5V motor is a reported 40% more powerful than comparable units, helping to eliminate problems associated with heat build-up resulting from overloading or voltage fluctuations.
The new M5V motors are designed for use with the popular PF, TB and TBF series drum pumps. The new speed control system features a robust circuit board mounted potentiometer which uses spade connections to make replacement easier and a resistor circuit which prevents premature failure due to arcing.
