One of the biggest issues behind circuit breaker trip outs and burnt-out motors is that of low voltage. When low voltage is present, the current draw rises substantially putting pressure not only on shearing shed circuit breakers but motor windings also. The AMPMaster Power Optimiser System automatically regulates for low voltage and thus gives the protection you need.

No problem. AMPMaster intelligently takes normal single phase power from your wall socket and converts it to a 3 phase output that drives the electric motor.

There are many woolpresses in Australia, many of which are no longer made. As guide though, if your woolpress is hydraulically operated, a AMPMaster system can be fitted. Most Lyco, Stevlyon, macbro and some TPW models can be fitted with AMPMaster

Correct. The AMPMaster system comes with a potentiometer that can be used change the operating frequency of the press. If you want faster cycle times, no problem. But when your press in standby mode, the motor speed can be turned right down which cuts the noise down and of courses uses less power.

AMPMaster can be installed by individuals, but you will need bracketry to suit your particular press. We recommend that units are fitted by our network of specialist dealers Click here

Yes, you can. Just be sure that the equipment used to run AMPMaster has some form Automatic Voltage Control. You are also able to use AMPMaster if your property is connected using SWER (Single Wire Earth Return) power.

YES. Retro-fit kits are available for most models of woolpress. Just tell us the make and model you wish to update and we can advise.

The new AMPMaster will run to the power supplied in your shed. The AMPMaster adjusts power so when then the voltage decreases and the Amps increase, your circuit will be protected and your press will keep working in ever changing conditions.

YES. As long as you tell us which model woolpress you have, we will supply the brackets, bolts & all the hardware you need together with some instructions. Remember,we are only a call away should have any questions.

Approximately 4 hours. On average it will take around 4 hours to fit the new hydraulics and install the enclosure box & electric motor.

The stipulation is that the steady states voltage must be within the range 216 Volts to 253 Volts. It was formerly 240V -10%, + 6%, i.e. 226 to 254V. Your old Woolpress motor may not work under the new lower range of 216 volts now as was designed for a good 240 volt supply when it was made . The “AMPMaster” kit can solve this issues as it can handle as low as 160 volts & your press will still press Woolpress to 204 kgs.
