Lortone power useage
« on: March 30, 2020, 11:24:22 AM »
Hi, I am contemplating buying a Lortone rock tumbler. I see they are 240 volt, my silly question- how many amps do they draw?. Seeing as though tumbling is such a long process & power charges are what they are, could you gestimate a figure on useage cost?  I have an old tumbler that runs on a washing machine motor that is far too expensive to use  24/7/?days.   Dave. ;D

The motor is actually 230 Volt.  The 3A or 33B tumbler motors are 0.33 Amps so pretty cheap to run.
