{"product_id":"univex-pm91-power-drive-unit-12-hub-1-hp","title":"Univex PM91 Power Drive Unit, #12 Hub, 1 HP, 115V","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Univex PM91 is a 1 hp power drive unit: a motor, a reduction drive and a #12 attachment hub on a powder-coated 10-gauge steel base, built to run Univex’s slicing, shredding and grinding heads from one footprint. Twenty-four inches high on a 19\" × 26\" base, 82 lbs., and powered from any 115 V single-phase outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow the drive works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA capacitor-start motor turning at 1,740 rpm drives a poly-V belt through a 7:1 reduction, which brings the output shaft to 266 rpm and the attachment itself to 250 rpm. The belt is the deliberate part of that chain: it slips rather than shears when an attachment jams, which is a cheaper failure than a stripped gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat this buys a kitchen is one motor instead of three. A prep cook shreds cheese, swaps to the slicer for vegetables and fits the grinder head for meat, all on the same base, and the counter gives up the space for one machine rather than a row of them. Because the attachments are Univex’s own standard #12 fitting, the grinder head takes the same plates as the company’s countertop grinders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe prep container\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PM91 is supplied with a prep container 5\" deep and its cover. Univex gives the container’s volume as 20 quarts and its material as plastic on the product page and in the operator manual rather than on the specification sheet, which lists only the depth — so the 20-quart figure is Univex’s, but it comes from the manual, not the sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Operators Choose It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne base, three jobs.\u003c\/strong\u003e The #12 hub takes the VS9 slicer, the VS9H shredder and the ALMFC12 meat and food grinder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt drive, not gear drive.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 7:1 poly-V belt reduction to 250 rpm at the attachment, so a jam costs a belt rather than a gearbox.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeyed off.\u003c\/strong\u003e The operator key is removable, which takes the machine out of service between shifts without unplugging it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResettable, not replaceable.\u003c\/strong\u003e The overload breaker resets by hand; there is no fuse to find.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt in the USA.\u003c\/strong\u003e Univex prints \"Made in the USA\" on the PM91 specification sheet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single-speed motor switch, a removable operator key and a manually resettable overload breaker.
