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.
NOTE: Please observe the operation manual from the manufacturer!
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.
