Waste cutter
The bulky waste cutter is used to cut pieces to an optimal size for delivery to the grate and for uniform combustion. The cutter is fed by an overhead crane system. Afterwards, the cut material falls back into the waste bunker. Due to the design of the outlet chute, the cut materials have a different route to the feeder. This process simplifies the re-feeding of large pieces.
The cutter is controlled by the crane operator and stops when it has reached the end position or when the maximum force is applied. In the second case, the cutting process is repeated automatically.
Based on various knife shapes, the range of applications is extensive. The knives are constructed in such a way that they can be interchanged easily and are re-usable when re- sharpened.
The cutter has a capacity of about 70 m3/h of waste material and is driven by two hydraulic cylinders which allow for an optimal utilisation of the shear forces.
The cutter is encased with in a solid steel casing, protecting all drive parts in order to ensure low wear and outstanding ease of maintenance.
