basis method for pulp chips and fuel, where it is used for a one-time point estimate of what fraction of the whole is usable fiber (or fuel) and what fraction is wa-ter. As you will note, in the example provided above, the OD basis moisture content can (and will) exceed 100% on occasion â this is NOT an error â it simply re-
Shapers spin slower than routers, usually in the 7-14,000 rpm area and their power demand starts where routers leave off, (around 3 HP). Router tables are welter weights by comparison. It takes two routers to equal one shaper.
RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) of a motor is the speed at which the motor will rotate at rated voltage and frequency during full torque. This full load speed will normally vary between 87% and 99% of synchronous speed depending on design.
