or you can look for a low speed motor and experiment with different size pulleys.
or a high speed motor with a reducing gear box that wil prevent direct overload to the motor from stress or jams comming from the pail, (gear ratios and amount of gears will be important)

honestly a threadmill motor dosent sound so bad as it can provide you with a precise speed and torque. other than that a washing machine motor with pulleys and or gears.

good luck and hope you figure it out soon.

Instead of using a lot of different pulley, he could just use a rheostat to vary the motor speed as you stated, which would be a lot cheaper than actually have to acquire and couple different pulleys to the shafts.

Once he can determine the rpm that he needs to turn the mix, he can move in a backward direction to size the motor that he requires.

Why don't you connect a variable frequency drive to an AC motor directly to where the handle goes........no need for belt and pulley. This will give you the control required to manipulate the speed. Benefits are energy saving and performance control.

ah had from him once, about 5 years ago....never had it again cuz i dunno how to find the place (was taken there)....one of the best homemade coconut ice cream i ever had...

u know where the Arima Old Road is? drive down there from Arouca side....if u reach Arima West, u reach to far.......just ask anyone there for the man, he dont open on a Monday tho.

na me eh really know Arima na... ah know where UTT is though

but thanks though when I ready to go i'd pm you or somn for more specific directions...

D old rd is a long road, DB...where exactly is this guy?

By Baksh? By d school? By d maxi stand? Where is "Arima west"?

get a bbq rotisserie motor,
they are geared to turn lower rpm and more torque

after u pass the entrance to clever heights from the Arima old road heading to arima, on the right hand side, i think its just before or around the hardware on the right. he operates from a blue shed. das the guy i have heard about. havent had the opportunity to taste his ice cream yet tho.......the ice cream i get tastes just as good tho.......

Use to buy from that guy on Sundays if its the same guy. Heading into Arima on Old Road, he's located on the left hand side of the road. Is a blue tarpaulin with pale and everything set up right dey. My dad didn't like his ice cream, I loved it.

Before the hardware by where Spoon used to be?

Washing machine motor might work , but it has to be a small one ( think twin tub small machine ) coz u're prob not going more than 20 RPM if so much .. ( you don't want to spin the pail to fast you'll get whipped cream instead of ice cream )

An industrial drill motor might work too . Good luck

Try little store ( curepe ) they have motors for dhal grinding machines which would work perfect for your project .
