Thanks of sharing your information. I was a bit frustrated but I would expect you also were last month. The spool that I bought new, could have been in a place where it could be moist. I'm not sure what the plastic is but if it's nylon it can absorb quite some moisture and then the yielding strength will drop? After I had changed the original spool with the spool with previous breaking cheap wire, it went better but could not get my finger on why. Perhaps the hole has been worn out.

Your suggestion of another trimmer head I will look into. The trimmer start to vibrate more so I'll check the bearing and see if the trimmer is disassembable (if that's a word)

trimmer roll breaking (slrpnk.net)
 

I'm frustrated about trimmers today. I hope somebody can recognize the problem and even though the channel has been not very active I hope somebody has a direction to look into.

I have a 230v trimmer and the wire of 1.6mm. I trim grass. But the problem I get with this trimmer is that the wire snaps too often. Many times the wire is melted or clamped in the spool in which it breaks. The more this happens, the more damage to the spool which makes breaking more occuring. Now it happens every 1 minute of trimming. I probably do something not okey. I bought a new spool with original wire but the problem occurs also there Does anybody have had the same problem? It's a 250w trimmer with a very standard trimmer head.

I have studied the drying of fruits for my work. To get optimal drying the temperature should be 45-60degC with an airflow in it. Of course this design would work but the fruits will take 3 days before the moisture content is around 10%> The design would need a bit more solar surface and a small fan to make the evaporation go faster and exchange the humid air. But it will be a bit more complex though. Small chimney would also work
