Anyone know about industrial size blenders?

This thread is an emotional nightmare for me.

Wikipedia lied to me.

That's what happens when any idiot, like Gasser64 can edit the info.

So at 29# per bushel, that's just a pinch over 11 gallons dry.

Your buddy should build his own with a stainless drum and an old trolling motor, would be cheaper.

Your bushel weight isn't accurate. 28-30 lbs per most Ag standards.

Wikipedia lied to me.

So if 1 bushel of peppers weighs 36#, then 40# is 1.11 bushels. A bushel is 8 gal dry volume, therefore 40 pounds of dry peppers is 8.89 gallons of peppers.

So ~two(2) 5 gallon buckets worth to put it in perspective.

You're doing the lords work.

+ stems and seeds that you dont need.

The seeds are the good part!

I bet blended a 5 gallon bucket could hold 40lbs of peppers. There is a ton of air space inside the peppers that goes away.

Your reading comprehension sucks. I'm not sure what you're missing here, but he is starting with raw peppers. He wants to load them up, set the blender timer, and not sit there and feed peppers in for hours at a time. A 5 gallon bucket also will not hold 10 gallons of liquid, but I'm sure you'll find a way to argue that as well.

Well shit. I got so disappointed that I stopped reading. It says it right there in the last sentence.

lol...but thats in water or vinegar or whatever

So you guys made me incredibly curious as to how much 45lbs of peppers are. I found a web site that sells Jalapeno's in bulk. Now these are sliced or dice how you want, and they ship them in 5 gal pails @ 43lbs.

Has anyone visualized 40lbs of peppers? that is a shit ton of peppers.

That is the most challenging part of it. In regards to food prep everything is sized in liquid sizes. Gallons, quarts, liters, etc. 40 lbs of peppers is a fucking shit ton of volume. I don't even think you can fit 40 lbs of peppers in a 55 gallon drum. It would take multiple drums, which is why I pointed him towards the TRX-22 with the arm.

It does also depend on the peppers being used in terms of volume, but that's a shit ton any way you slice it.
