USED 1987 SWECO M45RC

Sweco M45RC Vibro-Energy Mill – Ideal Retrofit Candidate45" Diameter | Heavy-Duty RC Modular Chassis | S/N 45M-273-37Available for acquisition is a Sweco M45RC Vibro-Energy Grinding Mill, specifically positioned as a high-value candidate for a modern control retrofit or custom process integration. This 1980s-era "workhorse" features the legendary over-engineered cast-iron base and modular bolt-on wall system that made the M-series the industry standard for precision particle reduction and mass finishing.While the mechanical foundation is rock-solid, this unit is priced to allow the buyer to install a custom VFD control package or automated fluid system tailored to their specific production requirements.The "Retrofit Advantage" SpecificationsModel: M45RC (Modular Bolt-On Wall Design)Serial Number: 45M-273-37 or 454-579-3Chassis Diameter: 45 InchesMotor: Sweco 5 HP Vibro-Energy Motion Generator (Tested & Functional)Power Requirement: 230/460V, 3-PhaseConstruction: Cast-iron vibration base with reinforced steel chamber frame.Why This Unit is a Prime Candidate for Rebuilding:Modular RC Configuration: Unlike welded-tub models, the "RC" features a cast bottom with bolt-on walls. This makes it significantly easier to reline, modify, or replace wear components without specialized welding equipment.Mechanical Integrity: The core Vibro-Energy motion generator and eccentric weight system are intact, providing the essential high-frequency, low-amplitude motion required for sub-micron grinding or high-end polishing.VFD-Ready: The 5 HP motor is an ideal candidate for a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) upgrade, which would allow the operator to digitally control "roll" intensity and amplitude—a feature that costs thousands more on new models.Cost Efficiency: Save 70-80% compared to the cost of a new Sweco mill while ending up with a machine built to a modern electrical spec of your choosing.Potential Applications After Retrofit:Precision Ceramic & Abrasive GrindingPharmaceutical/Chemical Powder ProcessingHigh-Volume Aerospace DeburringCustom Jewelry or Medical Device Polishing
