EF 2 Auger Specs

[charger1966]

Hello, Is there anyone out there that could tell me the Torque Spec on the Enviro EF 2 Auger Motor? My stove is now 8 years old and has developed another problem. It will not burn pellets that are made of Hard wood. It will burn the cheaper mixed brands. It seams that the auger gets jammed up and the auger motor doesn't have the torque to break the hard wood pellets. Do these motors loose their torque over time?I am thinking of installing the 175 inch pound of torque auger motor into it. What are your thoughts on this. Thanks in advance. Lance

What motor do you have now? manufacturers name and part number should be on it.
I see listed motor that appears to be a direct replacement Envirofire Auger Motor EF-001 1 RPM

This appears to be a Gleason Avery motor that has been a popular replacement motor. their A901 is a 1.2 RPM motor but seems to make little difference. Run torque is 110 " lbs and stall 200 " lbs. It is a CW motor but can be easily reversed, their price is $83.99.

Lance, can you give us a web address to a place that has this 175 in/lb auger motor? Or manufacturer and model number?

The Gleason-Avery unit mentioned above is a pretty HD unit, and that only runs at 110 in.lb.

Hey Guys, Here is a link to the 175 inch pound motor: http://www.amazon.com/Rotom-HM-RGM451-Pellet-Stove-Auger/dp/B0013LP3MK
I don't know the part number or the name of the motor that is in the unit now. All I know is it is the OEM one. Thanks for the Info and help. Lance

Hmmmmm. I have doubts about those torque figures. Take a look at the motor "stack" on this Gleason-Avery compared to that unit. And the price is comparable.
