That motor would be OK IF you had three phase power and planned to handle 50 kilo batches. 1.5 Horse Power is WAY over the top
A 1/10hp motor would be sufficient to spin a small home mill with say up to 500g compound and maybe 5Kilos of media inside.
Also you must work out how to spin the drum at a speed between 50 and 100 RPM and big drums need lower speeds!
Sorry but what's the difference between 1 phase 2 phase and 3 phase motor? lol and thanks i get it now
