- Start date
The big issue is the starting current required to start a single phase motor under load, and is why a lot of ramps will use a lower power motor (and with a slower lift speed) for single phase versions.
Also ramps often use an integrated pump/valve block, so it's not as simple as swapping in a lower power motor and lower capacity pump.
Yes, you could swap in a similar power single phase motor, but then you have the big start up current issue.
Personally, I'd use an oversized VFD to give some extra capacity to allow for the motor starting under load, as although you'll still need a reasonable power supply, the start up surge won't be as high as starting a single phase motor.
That's essentially a static phase converter, which will really struggle to start a motor under load.

Generally I like buns. I saw they didnt look great but how bad could an iced bun be?!? Lesson learned.
If its not much more than a motor, VFD will have no problem running it and soft starting to avoid any high current surge. However I know nothing about lifts.

Lidl's bakery section offerings are superb imo.

That’s not actually the bakery that produce stuff for Aldi, though it shares the same name (the Aldi name is just a generic slogan, the “real” village bakery is a proper company, based in Wrexham) - my mates missus is a delivery driver for the bakery you posted, and I am friends with the brother in law of the guy that owns it. (He used to work for our company as a sales engineer, and though we deal with temperature control equipment it was a standing joke that he never managed to sell his brother in law any of our equipment
)

Not compared with a proper bakery bun. Some things are ok, the bread and some of the pastries if they are fresh.

I was referring to the freshly baked stuff. Not the prepackaged stuff.

I'm very leary of buying any of that stuff that's been on display open to the public.
You never know where some of those children have been. As bad as dogs, they are.
Bigger bore 200mm chuck for my small lathe, now looking for an adaterplate camlock D1-4 to camlock ?
Are the Ali ones ok? Or better wait for a secondhand one from a decent brand?
Needed for a specific returning job, very light machinig of aluminium and some rolling (deforming) which concerns me a bit.
I might need to roll from two opposite sides to reduce radial forces.
Im sure it was just for the photo...But its not freshly made. The stuff comes into Lidl pre made and frozen. They just put into a giant oven and bake it. Much the same as the Cuisine de France stuff.
The dough/pastry and ingredients are prepared off site and frozen. They could be months old!
Comparing this stuff to proper bakery goods is like comparing a microwave ready meal to a good takeaway!
Much like the food in Wetherspoons.

A caravan! The motor mover is superb and we wouldn't be able to have bought one without it.
The Shogun pulled it effortlessly. I did fit the extension mirrors before pulling off.

I know, I apologise profusely!It's hard to like a post containing the word: Caravan.
