@vfrmedia @ranjit they say itโ€™s powered by an inverter drive. why not just install it the other way around to save time and energy?
Show threadAlex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKFeb 2, 2023
@SuddenGenesis @ranjit easier to control the motor speed / torque (and thus vary the number of onions processed per minute via the controller)
Show threadpenguin42Feb 2, 2023
@vfrmedia @ranjit Oh so that's what they make in Trafford Park these days (other than corn flakes). Their website and youtube channel has loads of different machines for all different vegetables; I can see Youtube is going to be showing me peelers and choppers for ever more. It's interesting these are traditional, basic cut and thwack machines.
