DST - 2000 Spin Trimmer
This is the Trimmer that Created The New standard
Dome Drawing
The Trim Cycle
The part is fed into the
machine between the guide rail\s and then the drive wheels. When the scrap dome is engaged
by the drive wheels the part spins and advances, (Because the drive wheels are turning in
the same direction ( clockwise or counter clockwise ) the dome is in a position that it is
being engaged by the wheels and is driven in opposite directions there by causing it to
spin.) ( it advances because 1 drive wheel is spinning at a faster RPM than the other
drive wheel ) as it advances it passes a knife
mounted beneath the drive wheel. The part contacts the knife and is cut and separated from
the scrap dome. The part falls and the scrap dome is driven to a preferred location. When
the part falls it may free fall or it may drop slightly and continue down stream via a
conveyor.
DST- 2000 Trimming
Standards
Bottles/Parts can be fed into the machine via several ways they
include hand feed, conveyor feed, and direct blow molding machine feed .
Regardless of how the trimmer is loaded the trimming operation is the same.
The article to be trimmed must have a round dome configured similar to a pulley shape.
It may be a V-belt, Flat belt, or Round belt, pulley shape.
The basic trim machine has 2 wheels rotating in the same direction . These wheels have a
shape on the circumference that match the bottle scrap dome IE: V-belt, flat or round.
Beneath 1 of these wheels is mounted a knife . This knife is adjustable so as when the
scrap dome becomes tangent with the drive wheels, the cutting edge of the knife contacts
the scrap dome .
On the in feed end of the trimmer are mounted guide rail\s which engage and align the dome
so as when the dome advances to the drive wheel it is pre-a-ligned.
On the out feed side of the trimmer a scrap dome guide is mounted that engages the scrap
dome after it leaves 1 of the drive wheels, to guide the scrap dome to a preferred
location.
Bottle guides may be positioned to keep the article being trimmed stabilized as it spins
and advances throughout the trim cycle.
