A new Felder RL-200 Dust Collector added
Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 2:48PM Last week an odd thing happended. My Clearvue cyclone dust collector impeller surround fractured sending fine dust all over the studio and gallery. What a mess and it couldn't have happend at a worse time as I still have last minute Christmas deliveries to make. In addition to ordering replacement parts for the Clearvue cyclone (turns out more was wrong than I originally thought), I also decided to see if by any chance I could find a Felder Clean Air unit. Thanks to some quick work by posters on the Felder Owners Group fourm I found and purchased a used Felder RL-200 in Bend, Oregon Monday morning. They agreed to deiver it to my studio as part of the deal. It arrived late Monday afternoon. The problem was it was a three phase unit and I only have single phase coming into this building so would need a Variable Frequency Driver (VFD) to power it.
A friend who owns an industrial electrical business speced and ordered a very sophisticated Yaskawa V1000 VFD and had it shipped two day air. It arrived on Wed. With a bunch of help from Felder technical support I was able to remove all of the Felder mechanical soft start and motor overload protection circuitry and install the V1000VFD to do those things and much, much more. Here are some pictures of the new unit in place in the studio and gallery.
Amazingly, it is Thursday and I am back to work! A few days, the magic of the internet, lots of well meaning people helping and I could remove the old one, clean up the mess, acquire and install the new one and get it operating off of single phase power. Never would have thought it possible.
