Round drum machine with side motor box
Free CAD block from the Commercial kitchen and buffets library (96 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Round drum machine with side motor box, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, all three projected from its 3D model so they match to the millimeter. It measures 2' 4" wide, 20½" deep and 3' 3" high (72 cm × 52 cm × 1.00 m), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Commercial kitchen and buffets library: 96 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
A floor-standing drum machine such as a potato peeler, a small tumbler or a dough rounder, with its motor housed in a side box. It earns its place in the vegetable room, the bakery or a butchering room, where it sits near a drain and a water supply. It goes into ¼ in = 1 ft (1:50) kitchen layouts and in the drainage plan.
Clearances to leave
Leave 24 in (60 cm) in front of the drum for loading and emptying, and 12 in (30 cm) on the motor-box side for ventilation and access; with the 28 in (71 cm) width that makes a 40 in (101 cm) bay. The 20½ in (52 cm) depth lets it sit below a 24 in (60 cm) counter line, so set it within 19½ in (50 cm) of a drain.
Pairs with
Pair with Small round-base unit with rectangular body on the same wall, and place it beside Slotted floor drain grating in two sections so the drum can empty onto the grating. A Mobile rack trolley with push handle takes the peeled stock away.
