clicker press converter (3phase to single)

[Sofie]

Hi there, I recently bought a second hand Sandt clicker press type 410. (cutting force 18t - 1,5 kW - 400V)

Its obviously 3phase and need to convert to single phase. We have a maximum of 6,6kW power supply in our neighbourhood (SPAIN).  I'm planning on buying a a VFD of 5,5kW (via AMAZON) but not sure if this will be sufficient.

I've tested it by using a generator and it works well. This clicker will not be used at its full capacity since I'm just a humble one woman show  

Can somebody please give me some advise and feedback what the best and most economical solution would be.

Highly appreciated.

Greets, Sofie

Can't help with electrics Sofie but that looks like a nice piece of kit. Hope you get it sorted.

Don´t know how the junction box on your clicker looks like but maybe this is helpful for you:

there is no diagram on the machine (only model number)....had to contact Sandt in order to get the specifics and the info i mentioned in my post is all i got from Germany!

The replies on your post are useful thanks. Just hoping to get a clear solution for this particular situation since my knowledge in electrical stuff and sh*t is very limited!

I also have a 3 phase clicker press made in Italy. After lots of research I bought a 3 phase convertor from Kay industries USA. to go from 340 3 phase to 220V single phase.  This is their Webb site. info@kayind.com. 1-800-348-5257. They are not cheap but they make a quality product that will last.  It works great for me. You may need to get an electrician to correctly wire up the plug from to clicker press to the convertor.
