5.7. AC Motor Assembly
How it Works
The AC motor (which is controlled by the inverter) directly drives the cutter blades. The gaskets
and seals ensure the assembly is watertight as it goes through the central hopper chamber. The
blades are angled slightly to produce a ‘Vortex’ in the slurry, this agitation of the water is key to
effective maceration.
