Gents, I have the job of converting a mobile ice-cream machine in a van ;(my daugh ter's), the machine presently being driven by the van's engine, to also be able to run instead on 230v AC when in sensitive or confined places (such a s at Food Fairs, Farmers' Markets etc.) The job is pretty straightforward; I know the required speed, there is adeq uate space for the motor, I only need to add a Fenner Taper-Lock pulley to the original drive shaft and a belt to the motor and any necessary switch g ear. The only thing I need to know is the motor power required. The van engine ( an old Perkins) runs at idle and, with its universal governor, just sags a bit when the ice
-cream machine clutch is engaged. Is there anyone in this great pool of knowledge that can help, please? Perh aps you have owned an electric ice-cream machine, or repaired one, or know someone who owns one who would let you look at the motor plate. I would be immensely grateful for any information; she put her redundancy money into t his and I want her to be able to earn a living from it. TIA!
