Abstract
A comminuting device for comminuting material. The device has a frame and a shear member having a main blade, the shear member movably coupled to the frame with a shear member slide bearing located at least partially inside the frame. A supporting table is coupled to the frame, the supporting table having a counter blade, the supporting table adapted to support the scrap material. The frame has an opening forming an access way to the shear member slide bearing. The main blade and the counter blade cooperate to chop the scrap material when the shear member is moved from a first position to a second position. The shear member slide bearing is removable from inside the frame through the opening without removal of the shear member from the frame.
Claims21
A comminuting device for comminuting material, the device comprising:
- a frame;
- a shear member having a main blade, the shear member movably coupled to the frame with a shear member slide bearing having multiple removable bearing surfaces located at least partially inside the frame;
- a supporting table coupled to the frame, the supporting table having a counter blade, the supporting table adapted to support the scrap material;
- and
- the frame having an opening forming an access way to the shear member slide bearing;
- wherein, the main blade and the counter blade cooperate to chop the scrap material when the shear member is moved from a first position to a second position, and wherein each of the multiple removable bearing surfaces of the shear member slide bearing is removable from inside the frame through the opening without removal of the shear member from the frame.
A comminuting device for comminuting material, the device comprising:
- a frame;
- a shear member having a main blade, the shear member movably coupled to the frame with a shear member slide bearing having multiple removable shear bearing surfaces located at least partially inside the frame;
- a supporting table coupled to the frame, the supporting table having a counter blade, the supporting table adapted to support the scrap material;
- a clamp member movably coupled to the frame with a clamp member slide bearing having multiple removable clamp bearing surfaces located at least partially inside the frame;
- the frame having a first opening forming an access way to the shear member slide bearing;
- and
- the frame having a second opening forming an access way to the clamp member slide bearing;
- wherein, the main blade and the counter blade cooperate to chop the scrap material when the shear member is moved from a first position to a second position while the clamp member holds the scrap material stationary, and wherein each of the multiple removable shear bearing surfaces of the shear member slide bearing is removable from inside the frame through the first opening without removal of the shear member from the frame, and wherein each of the multiple removable clamp bearing surfaces of the clamp member slide bearing is removable from inside the frame through the second opening without removal of the clamp member from the frame.
