Machine Description
The 1-5154 Series Drum Rotators are designed to roll a steel drum, 6” to 28” (15 to 71 cm) in diameter, and up to 40” (102 cm) long. The
drum speed of 20 RPM was set at the factory according to customer’s order specification. The drum speed is based on a 22.5” (57 cm)
diameter 55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum and a 60 Hz, 1725 RPM motor. The drum rotation speed decreases with a 50 Hz motor to 16
RPM. The maximum liquid load capacity rating is 1000 Lb. (454 kg). Dry load capacity is 300 Lb. (136 kg).
WARNING -
DO NOT exceed these ratings. Exceeding these ratings or handling a drum other than those mentioned above
is unsafe and could result in equipment damage, excessive wear, motor overload and shortened service life of transmission
components.
Options
A 1 to 5 gallon can or pail can be rotated with the Idler Attachment (part # 1-5-1) installed.

Assembly and Installation Instructions
The base has four 1/2” (1.27 cm) diameter holes spaced 19” wide x 56.5” long (48.26 cm wide x 143.51 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 20 scfm, and 22 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 and appropriate Morse Control Package have the control box wired to the motor.
•
Models ordered with explosion proof motor and appropriate Morse Explosion-Proof Control Package 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.
