2-3-1 Infeed Chute
The V-shaped infeed chute is an upright enclosure that is bolted to
the top of the feed roll assembly and easily removable for
unobstructed access to the feed rolls. It is designed to
accommodate continuous reclamation of skeletal web directly from
the thermoform trim process.
2-3-2 Cutting Chamber
The cutting chamber is a rectangular enclosure comprising the
main frame, with an access panel that lifts off to fully expose the
upstroke bed knives, a balanced rotor with split offset rotor knives
and removable screens (one screen in the 36” model; two screens
in the 56” model). The covers on the opposite side can easily be
removed to expose the downstroke bed knife shields and knives.
Both the bed knives and bed knife shields are adjustable, and the
bed knives have reversible cutting edges for extended life.
The internal surfaces of the solid steel cutting chamber are
machined to an exceptionally smooth finish for ease of clean-out.
The scissor-type cutting action of the angled rotor knives gives
optimum cutting efficiency with lower power consumption.
The screens are mounted in a swing-down cradle, positioned just
below the rotor and act as a separating barrier to the granulated
material, retaining the material in the cutting chamber until the
particle size is such that it will pass through the screen holes.
