Model 517 XHD Scrap Chopper

List your equipment on consignment for us to sell

The Model 517 XHD has more cutting capacity for custom applications than the standard Model 517. The cutting capacity is increased by adding a 5HP drive motor over the standard 3 HP. This is the chopper of choice for custom applications or for operations converting substantial quantities of linear material. Prepared for an abusive environment, this scrap chopper has a strong 1/2” plate steel housing. The Model 517 XHD also has a magnetic starter to protect workers from an unexpected restart after loss of power. The air activated feedworks is controlled with a footswitch for operator safety and other safety options are available.

How It Works

Just introduce the material (banding/bale wire) into the infeed funnel. The feedworks (pinch rolls) will then grab the material and pull it into the rotating knife path. The feedworks will continue to pull at a rate of 90 fpm until the material is consumed or the operator releases the feedworks via the footswitch.
