It stands 17.5\" high on an 11.5\" × 34\" footprint, weighs 90 lbs. and runs on a 115 V single-phase supply drawing 9 amps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it cuts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drive turns its output shaft at 729 rpm and the attachment at 700 rpm. Product is fed into the cutting head, where the fitted plate does the work: the machine ships with a 5\/16\" stainless steel shredder plate and a 9\" S-knife, and the cut changes entirely with the plate rather than with any setting on the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven hundred rpm is a deliberate choice for vegetables. Fast enough that the plate severs rather than bruises — which is what keeps shredded lettuce from weeping and a sliced onion from going grey at the edge — and slow enough that the product is not thrown apart on the way through. The practical consequence is that yield and shelf life in the walk-in depend as much on plate sharpness as on the motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOne warning Univex prints in capitals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnivex states, in capital letters on its own documentation, that the unit is not made for cheese. It is worth repeating here rather than burying: a machine designed around vegetable tissue at 700 rpm will pack and smear with cheese, and Univex excludes that use outright. For cheese on a Univex drive, the VS9H shredder on a PM91 or PM91G is the arrangement the manufacturer supports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOn the phrase \"high volume\"\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnivex describes the VS2000 as a high-volume machine but publishes no throughput figure for it — no pounds per hour, no portions per minute, in any document. We are not going to invent one. What is published is the drive speed, the motor rating and the plate set, and the honest comparison with another machine is made on those. If you need a rate to size a prep station, tell us the product and the volume and we will put the question to Univex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Operators Choose It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive unit included.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 1 hp motor turning the attachment at 700 rpm, supplied with the machine rather than bought separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless shredder plate as standard.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 5\/16\" stainless steel shredder plate and a 9\" S-knife ship with the unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive further cuts available.\u003c\/strong\u003e Optional plates 1000907, 1000908, 1000909 and 1000910, plus the 1\/2\" #12 grind plate 1000512.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-phase, standard outlet.\u003c\/strong\u003e 115 V, 9 A on a 60 Hz supply — no three-phase service to arrange.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot for cheese.\u003c\/strong\u003e Univex excludes cheese for this machine; the exclusion is printed in capitals on its documentation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnivex publishes a single drive speed and no variable-speed control: the cut is selected by changing the plate, not by changing the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalad and sandwich prep rooms, produce departments, commissaries cutting their own slaw and shredded lettuce, pizzerias prepping toppings, and institutional kitchens working through vegetables in quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVS2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVegetable slicer and shredder with drive unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 hp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttachment speed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700 rpm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput shaft speed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e729 rpm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115 V, 1 phase, 60 Hz, 9 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.5\" H × 11.5\" W × 34\" D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNet weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 lbs.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110 lbs.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard plate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/16\" stainless steel shredder plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard knife\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9\" S-knife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional plates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000907, 1000908, 1000909, 1000910, and the 1\/2\" #12 grind plate 1000512\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCheese — excluded by Univex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThroughput\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published by Univex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne year, on-site parts and labor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCertification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnivex publishes no NSF, UL, cETLus, ETL or CSA mark for this model.
