Hey All,
I recently purchased a manual crusher destemmer that had a motor added on. The person added a 1/3 HP 1725 rpm AC motor and it seems like it runs way too fast! It currently has a 3 inch drive pulley attached to a 14 inch load pulley that spins the destemmer. After some research I figured out the destemmer is running at 370 rpms. ( 3"/14" * 1725)= 369.64 RMP. Does anyone know what rpm a destemmer should run at? Should I add a larger load pulley or just purchase a new motor. If so any recommendations on a motor? Thanks!
