The Model 480 HT is a high-torque wide infeed scrap chopper designed for slow-production slitter lines, using motor torque instead of a flywheel to cut material. It features a 7 ¾ inch wide by 1 5/16 inch high infeed opening, a 10 HP electric motor, and an infeed speed range of 0 to 35 FPM with variable cut lengths up to 6 inches. The unit has one stationary and one rotating knife, each with four usable edges for extended life. Its overall dimensions are 39 7/8 inches long, 42 11/16 inches wide, and 15 inches high, weighing 1,285 pounds. It is available in single-phase and three-phase configurations with multiple voltages, includes a permanent magnetic clutch, an infeed restrictor plate, and an easy-access feedworks release lever. The unit is made and supported in the USA and carries a one-year limited warranty.
SWEED’s High Torque chopper line is designed to work in slitter line applications where production line speeds are slower than average.
SWEED’s standard choppers utilize the flywheel to achieve scrap chopping action. The HT line is unique in that it’s designed to cut material at zero flywheel speed using the torque from the motor rather than the mass and inertia from a flywheel spinning at high speeds. The 7” wide infeed of the 480 design makes this unit suitable for wider scrap applications. Custom stands and additional safety upgrades are also available.
