firerobinpotter Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Has anyone found a suitable replacement motor for Skutt's Envirovent 2? I realize Skutt sells replacements, but was hoping for something less expensive and easily swapped with the old motor. Thanks!

firerobinpotter Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Mark C, I already posted in the previous topic with hopes of clarification. The information given was not specific to Envirovent 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 If you want the exact motor order it from skutt kilns and pay the mark up If you want a cheaper but same motor order from-one of below links as it looks like its the exact same motor heres what skutt says- on the web- The new 140 CFM Motor allows you to vent 2 kilns up to 12 Cubic Feet each, or one kiln between 12 and 24 Cubic Feet, with one Envirovent 2 Motor. Skutts spec sheet says-(Blower: 140 cfm) The 140 CFM is whats important Heres one at graigers thats 140 cubic feet http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/DAYTON-PSC-Blower-1TDP7 Heres one at amazon that is 140 cubic feet http://www.amazon.com/Dayton-1TDP7-PSC-Blower-Volt/dp/B000BK43IY/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Take your pick as they both will work Amazon has a better return policy and is more user friendly but I have dealt with graingers for 40 years as well. A vent is a vent is a vent-the hose hooks up to the side and motor blows air outside-make sure its 140 cfm and all will be well You can order the exact same motor from the info plate on your dead motor from Graingers as well.

neilestrick Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 The main thing to look for besides the CFM rating is the shape and size of the mounting flange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firerobinpotter Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yes, I'm all over the RPM, CFM and other specs. The mounting flange was my main concern, hoping for an easy transition. I'll bite the bullet and rig, if necessary. I don't begrudge Skutt for marking up; however, $65ish markup feels excessive on a $95ish (retail) motor. Mark, thank you for your thorough response! You too neilestrick! michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
