very low output
, although i think the video doesnt show exactly how much falls through. once i put another row of staggered screws in to keep the apples disturbed it should be perfect. at the end of the video you can hear the apple gets settled on the roller and stops getting chewed by the inline screws also i think with a full hopper it will grind better, one single apples is able to jump and dance a bit before being caught and sucked in. also a fulle hopper will be needed to keep the "shrapnel" from flying out the top. i think more comes out the top than the bottom when it first starts to catch. i made a big mess.

definitely looks like a tree shredder. That will shred them apples.

hose the rotor and the hopper both down with PAM or other cooking spray.. then see how much sticks..
the other thing you might wanna try is play with the speed & direction of rotation of the rotor.

But it needs more horse power.

more power?! its running on 240v, 1 hp, 1750 rpm. i geared it down 50% so the head is spinning about 860rpm.
i suppose i could throw one of the race engine on there and see how it does......

just swap the two pullies so the head is spinning at 3500
When I watched the video I was thinking that is one heck of a motor for this little gizmo guess it won't be stalling out

Now were talking.
The race engine should do just fine.
