Drive
The drive of the rotor runs using an electric helical gear motor. The motor is flanged on the
rotor and fixed on the base frame. Please observe the operation manual from the
manufacturer!
Rotor and Cutters
The material is ground between the cutters assembled on the rotor and the bed knives,
which are mounted in a fixed position on the machine’s lower section. All rotors are
equipped with square cutters; these cutters make light work of the heaviest pieces. The
cutters 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 grinding process and
its results. The rotor construction, the type of knife mounting, and the number of cutters
have all been exactly matched to the allocated tasks of the machine.
