Claims16
A waste processing system comprising:
- an infeed assembly for receiving waste material and comprising upstanding sides;
- a cutting system for reducing the waste material;
- a feed system for moving the waste material from the infeed assembly to the cutting system;
- and
- a safety system comprising:
- a feed control bar mounted to the infeed assembly for controlling the feed system with the feed control bar movable between a first position to operate the feed system and a neutral position to prevent operation of the feed system;
- an actuator mounted to the infeed assembly and operably connected to the feed system with the actuator positioned adjacent one of the upstanding sides of the infeed assembly and movable between a ready position to prevent operation of the feed system and a use position to permit operation of the feed system;
- and
- a biasing member coupled to the actuator and adapted to bias the actuator to the ready position to prevent operation of the feed system.
