VP2

Overview

The Electrolux Professional VP2 “Greens Machine” is a floor-model vegetable dryer for commercial food preparation. It spins water from lettuce, other leafy greens and cut vegetables in a removable plastic basket. The basket has a capacity of 20 gallons (75 L), and the manufacturer states that it can dry up to approximately 16 heads of lettuce in under 5 minutes.

The VP2 has a stainless steel external drum (body), a hinged plastic lid with a built-in safety device, and three casters with brakes. A built-in water collection reservoir catches drainage and has a level indicator. The manufacturer says a floor drain is not needed; an optional drain is also mentioned.

Installation & Requirements

The manufacturer’s electrical information gives two voltage entries: 115 V, 60/1 in the item specification and 120 V, single-phase, 60 Hz in the electrical summary. Both entries list 2.7 A; the summary also lists 370 W. The listed plug is USA NEMA 5-15P. Confirm the applicable electrical connection for the installation, since the source identifies the plug as a USA type and presents both voltage figures.

The built-in reservoir collects water, so the manufacturer states that a floor drain is not required; an optional drain is also referenced. The source does not provide ventilation requirements or additional installation instructions.

Operation

Load greens or cut vegetables into the supplied basket, use the ON and OFF buttons, and set the built-in timer for a cycle of up to 5 minutes. The basket rotates at approximately 400 RPM. The manufacturer states that the VP2 can dry up to approximately 16 heads of lettuce in under 5 minutes. Water is collected in the built-in reservoir. The electrical braking system stops basket rotation within a few seconds when the cycle ends or when the lid is opened.

Applications

The VP2 is specified for drying lettuce, other leafy greens and cut vegetables. Its stated capacity and timed spin cycle make it relevant to commercial kitchens preparing greens for salads, service or further food preparation.
