Machine Description
The Morse 456 Series Hydra-Lift Drum Rollers are designed to
receive an upright drum at floor level, hydraulically tilt drum to
horizontal, and rotate the drum on its side between 5 and 20
RPM (4 to 16 RPM with 50Hz models). It is designed to rotate a
steel drum 6” to 28” in diameter, and up to 40” tall. The maximum
liquid capacity is 1000 Lb. Capacity is derated to 400 Lb. for a
dry load.

Options
A 1 to 5 gallon can or pail can be rotated with the optional
•
Idler Attachment (part # 1-5-1) installed.
A 55-gallon plastic drum can be rotated with the correct
•
POLY option installed.
Order Option POLY-456 factory installed on your new
•
456 Series Drum Roller.
Order Option POLY-456FI for feld installation of POLY
•
Kit on your existing 456 Series Drum Roller.
Guard Enclosure Kit - Install all Morse Rotators in accordance
•
with OSHA requirements for enclosure and safety interlock,
etc. so the rotator automatically turns off when enclosure
door is opened. One way to accomplish this is with a Morse Guard Enclosure with safety interlock.
Controls
There are two powered functions for the operator to control. Each function is controlled separately by levers mounted on the control
station.
The “TILT” function, for vertical positioning of the drum holder. The lever on the right side is the “TILT” control valve. Raising the lever
1.
will tilt the drum to vertical. Lowering the lever will tilt the drum to horizontal.
The “ROLL” function, or the rotation of the drum holder. The lever on the left side is the “ROLL” control valve. Raising this lever causes
2.
the drum to rotate. Lowering the lever away from the operator will stop the drum from rotating. The rotation speed can be varied with the
metering valve (item 13 on page 8). Turn the valve clockwise to increase speed up to a nominal 20 RPM, counterclockwise to decrease
speed down to a nominal 5 RPM. RPM is based on a 22.5” diameter 55-gallon steel drum and a 60Hz 1725 RPM motor.
Installation Instuctions
Hydra-Lift Rotators are shipped filled with 1 gallon of hydraulic fluid (Dexron 3 or
equivalent). Replace the red shipping plug from the hydraulic reservoir with the
supplied black breather, and install hydraulic levers BEFORE operation.
The base has four 1/2” (1.27 cm) diameter holes spaced 20-3/8” wide x 62-5/8”
long (51.75 cm wide x 159.07 cm long). Morse recommends the rotator be secured
to the floor using 3/8” x 3” (.95 cm x 7.6 cm) lag bolts (not included).
Install all Morse Rotators in accordance with OSHA requirements for enclosure and safety interlock, etc. Drum rotator must automatically
turn off when enclosure door is opened.
Control Station - Making Connections:
For the air motor powered rotator, a filter, regulator, lubricator is mounted on the control station. A shutoff ball valve is installed on the
•
inlet of the regulator. The air connection should be made at the inlet of this valve.
Ensure that the supply air lines are of sufficient size to provide proper air volume. The air motor requires 40 scfm, and 40 psi of
•
compressed air. (The proper air pressure will depend on the weight of the drum.)
For AC motor powered rotator, the main power must be wired into the control box.
•
Models ordered with non-explosion proof motor (i.e. 456-1-115) have the control box wired to the motor.
•
Models ordered with explosion proof motor (i.e. 456-E1-115) have no wiring from the nema 7/9 control box to the motor. Please consult
•
an electrician to complete the wiring.
The motor should turn clockwise when viewed from the fan end.
Jog the motor to determine
proper rotation. In the event fluid does not flow, check motor wiring diagram for clockwise rotation.
