Many people want to know about rotisserie motors and how they should size them.
Questions like what will it really hold? How much weight can I put on? Can I do a small pig?
We have just completed a Rotisserie Motor Testing Unit. This system tests motors for various conditions that apply to this type of cooking. We can now fully evaluate the products we sell in a controlled environment. This gives us the ability to pass on useful information to our customers and others about what they can expect.
The unit tests the following at a minimum.
Rpm and Rpm under load.
Stall Torque
Maximum starting offset load.
Maximum offset load
Motor shaft loading
In addition we can now run motor endurance tests. We can simulate cooking over extended periods of time. We can also run destructive tests on the gear train assembly as well as test motor overheat conditions.
We built unit for many reasons. First of all there are no standards in the industry. Many of the specificatons used are meaningless. We also are developing our own line of motors to handle the entire spectrum of cooking from 5 pounds to 200 pounds. We want to offer the best possible motors at an reasonable cost performance level.
The system also allows us to test spit rods and spit loading. Questions about what size rod and different loads will be answered for you in a more meaningful format.
Data will be derived from high precision digital measurement equipment.
More to follow in the coming weeks.
