Infinitely variable food washer and method thereof

Abstract

A washing machine with an infinitely variable pump is provided. The infinite variable pump is a fluid pump with pumping speeds which are uncountably infinite, in such that it has a maximum value and a minimum value for its pumping speed, but is otherwise configured to allow a user to select any pumping speed of the uncountable set between these pre-set limits. The pump may utilize a variable frequency drive (VFD). The VFD uses an inverter duty motor instead of a normal induction motor. The VFD is incorporated within the pump. The VFD is wired into the pump motor circuit between the machine power switch and the motor. Such a configuration allows for a ground-up build of a washing machine incorporating the infinitely variable pump or a retrofitting of an existing wash tank to incorporate the infinitely variable pump.
