Carolina Pride Air Dryer Motor HELP

[cincycarwash]

Hey all,

I have the Carolina pride air dryers at my SS locations, and my motors are going bad. I know they went out of business, but has anyone been able to replace the motors with any other brand? Hoping to not have to install 4 new air dryers, due to this.

looking for a T-DRY model, 120 voltage, 1 phase, 35amp motor.

thanks!

i doubt dryer motors are proprietary.

open up the unit and take a few pictures. look in kleen rite or autowash online for a replacement.

Post the pics here as well and we'll help ya.

Probably can still get motors from NCS - if not, as Waxman said, the motors are probably not proprietary and should have cross to industry standard motors.

Is this your system from Carolina Pride?

That looks like the three phase motor version.

Contact Etowah Valley and ask for David Lang. David was with Carolina Pride for years he may be able to help.

The motors used in the Turbo Dry III were a 4HP FPZ 3 phase motor. Here are the specs:

Turbo Dry III
3.1. Motor Specifications
60Hz 3PH
4HP 3520rpm
208-230V 10.9-11.1A Delta
460V 5.5A Y

Unfortunately, the TurboDry is not longer available, but you might be able to reach FPZ for a replacement motor.

Nope it is this:

For the 120V version, that is NCS PN 29006-038, and we have it in stock in our Dallas Warehouse.

That NCS Part # doesn't come up in the NCS portal, in the pic he shared it looks to be a ordinary 120v bypass motor.

Sorry it's not in the Portal, however it may still be ordered. Just call 844-627-9274. Select option 7, then option option 2 for the Ryko parts team, and they can get it ordered for you.

So it has three motors? I bet you can buy those at KR.
