Fruktkvarn

fruktkvarn

Running a small farm implies a constant stream of things to fix. The image shows an example of when the fruit grinder (to the right) in our juicery broke down. The motor fried itself towards the end of the season and I was hesitant to make the investment of a new one for just two remaining days.

Thus, one of the old motors that one naturally accumulates had to drive it externally with a belt. At first I did not gut the old motor which made it melt a second time thanks to induction -- lesson learned. The receiving axle is not perpendicular to the floor, so I made the angle of the other one adjustable together with the belt tension, by using one of the most important tools of all, a ratchet strap.
