Discharge System
The granulated material that falls through the screen is collected by the customer’s Gaylord
box.
On models fitted with an airveying system (optional), the granulated material that has fallen
through the screen is collected in a transition piece located beneath the cutting chamber. The
transition piece is connected to a blower, which conveys the granulated material to drop out
of the air system into a container.
Base
The base is a floor mounted drum and Gaylord type supporting the cutting chamber on its top
surface and the Gaylord chute from below the top surface. This base should be fastened
securely to the surface beneath it.
2-4 Safety Features
Motor Starter
A magnetic motor starter with control transformer must be used when safety switches are
installed. Manual starters should not be used under any conditions.
Safety Switches
Safety switches at all access covers are wired into the starter control circuit. The machine
cannot be started when these parts are open. However, for safety purposes, the machine
should be disconnected from the power lines by a disconnect switch or by removing the plug
from its receptacle. Check all safety switches periodically for proper operation.
Safety Tags
A set of metal plates is attached to the machine to warn of potential danger.
Brake Motors (Optional)
An integral brake stops the motor within a few seconds of actuation of the stop button, greatly
reducing the time required for the rotor to stop.
Sound Reduction Equipment
Sound reduction equipment will bring the sound level of your machine to within the
limitations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Material, part configuration, feed rate
and ambient noise level must be specified at the time of inquiry.
