Common Specifications for All Systems

Drive: Speed reducer mounted on ripper shaft, driven by V-belt from electric motor. Heavy-duty roller chain drives ripper shafts. Standard drives range from 15 to 30 HP. Greater horsepower, if required, is available.

Electrical: Primary 460 volt, 3 phase, 60 Hz control voltage...115 volt, 60 Hz fused disconnect. Other voltages are available at extra cost.

Controls: Oil-tight industrial pushbuttons and pilot lights convenient to operator's position located in NEMA 12 enclosure with reversing starter and fused disconnect.

Bearings: Shafts are journaled in piloted, self-aligning heavy-duty ball (standard) or extra heavy-duty spherical roller bearings (optional) mounted in machined hubs.

Material size: Handles cartons up to 12" high. With pre-crusher, handles cartons up to 38" high. Up to 1/2" of solid paper sheets.

Shred size: Standard ripper wheels on corrugated material priduce shreds averaging 40 square inches.

Material weight: shredderd corrugated averages 1 1/2 lbs. per cubic foot before baling.

Capacity: 300 pounds per hour, per HP, of corrugated. With closed baler, up to (3) 800 lb. bales per hour... higher with open end and auto tie presses.

Conveyor: Center-guided belt serves as loading table, keeping personnel away from ripper teeth. Conveyor driven by main shredder drive through clutch. A safety drop plate designed to protect personnel

Conveyor speed: 40 FPM (nominal)

Installation: Shredder shipped pre-wired and knocked down, ready for erection. Normally two men and lift truck can completely assemble the unit, including attachment to baler, in less than eight hours.

General: Drive parts, electrical components and bearings are standard units, readily available. Tramp metal seldom causes damage, but can sometimes break a ripper tooth. A few broken teeth will not materially affect machine efficiency. Ripper wheels can easily be replaced when convenient. Because of slow operating speeds, there are no balancing or vibration problems.
