Drive

The drive of the rotor runs using an electric motor via V-belts. The motor (mounted on sliding rails or a motor plate) can be adjusted for regulating the tension of the V-belts by using tensioning screws. The V-belt pulley is attached to the motor shaft with a special tensioning element.

Rotor, Cutters, and Bed Knives

Rotor, cutters, bed knives

•The material is shredded between the cutters assembled on the rotor and the bed knives that are mounted in a fixed position in the machine lower section.

•All rotors are equipped with square cutters. These cutters make light work of the heaviest pieces.

NOTE:	The knives have four corners so they can be easily turned once a
	corner has worn out.

•The design of the rotor has a significant influence on the quality of the shredding process and the results. The rotor construction, the type of cutter mounting, and the number of cutters have been matched to the application.
