Topic: Thymark shredder lookalike motor size?
Hi.
I just bought a shredder off ebay, size 120x150 and i was thinking of using a small motor with gearbox i had.
The motor is a parvalux 1/4 hp with a 6rpm gearbox. I ran the shredder on the gearboxshaft direct.
But the motor is way to weak. It wont even shred 1mm thick plastic without bogging.
What kind of power is recommended for it to be useful?
1HP 5HP ?
