Hello,
I'm going to be rebuilding an apple scratter that I got for free (needs a new frame.) I happen to have an extra 1/4hp electric motor kicking abou tso I thought I would make my scratter electric and started my google foray.
Why do most people slow the motor down? Is there an ideal RPM for a scratter? Wouldn't faster mean finer pulp which would lead to a higher yielding press? I'm likely to do this soon so I might do some trial and error, but my google searching showed no explanation to why people do it except that EVERYONE does it.
Thanks
