Building a Pollinator 5000 clone - Help

Hi, i want build my own “pollinator 5000” without pay more than 2000€ ( im on Europe )

I found the box by 100€ , i have the mesh, and the speed controllers.

Anyone can tell me what motor model have the original pollinator or at least suggest me any 24v motor that can handle 5kg of load?

I read in other post, suggestions for use a bbq motor, but the problem with it ,is that only have 2-4 rpm and its veryyyy slowly specially when its moving a big drum with 5kg… so i need a better option.

thanks and sorry by my english

Welcome to OG! I don’t have answers for you but I’ve never heard of a pollinator 5000 so this thread has my interest!

The first idea I had looking at it, was a clothes dryer with a different drum. Just need to change the pully size to change the spin speed.

Welcome to overgrow! I’m sure some ideas are gonna get tossed around.

Edit: is that to get the kif off the buds?

I believe it’s a dry sift tumbler.

Hello everyone, I would like to learn how to do an installation that for many will be simple but for me it is somewhat complex.

I already made the same machine but on a small scale and it turned out well but I need a much bigger one.

I want to build a rotator to extract pollen from the flowers of some plants and trees.

The photo that I have attached shows the components that it carries:

The engine that they have recommended me is this:

  • Could you help me select the product options that are right for my use?

  • Is there some kind of capacitor or fuse in the white box?

If so, I would appreciate if you can tell me which one to install

Here I leave another video of the same machine but with a different motor, so you can see how the anchoring system that carries the drum to the motor is inside.

Thousands of thanks in advance
