Our scrap cutting
machines are designed to contribute to the safety of your
operation. Scrap is cut into manageable lengths for regrinding
or removal. They eliminate the need for cutting the product with
saws or shears and the injuries associated with these methods.
Our optional accumulator keeps scrap off of the floor,
preventing tripping and slipping hazards. They also reduce the
man-hours required during product set-up.
The design of our machine incorporates two knives
mounted in rotating shafts. Zero backlash gearing connects the
shafts. This causes the material to be cut in a shearing action.
The knives are manufactured from hardened high-speed steel and
can be sharpened.
The machine has adjustment to work at most product
flight line heights. A speed potentiometer varies the speed of
the 5 horsepower DC motor to match the product speed. Speeds up
to 240 feet per minute can be accommodated. An adjustable timer
is used to vary the length of the scrap to suit the customer’s
needs.
We are able to supply a variety of options for this
machine. The frame can be supplied with casters to allow either
in-line or cross-line movement of the machine. Another frame
option is a swing-frame arrangement, which swings the entire
machine out of the product line. An optional accumulator table
is available to capture the scrap until it can be transferred to
a rack or cart. The table has a pneumatic dump action to make
this a fast and convenient operation.
The machine is fully guarded and interlocked to
guarantee safe operation. |
