OPERATION
VACUUMING OPERATION
Vacuuming operation begins in the processing chamber
where the blades attached to the flywheel spin at up to
3600 RPM, creating a powerful suction Material enters
the processing chamber from beneath the machine
during walk-behind vacuuming and during use of the
blower deflector_ Material enters from the hose during
use of the vacuum hose, The material is then processed
through the chamber (and screen if installed) and exits
from the discharge opening into the collection bag or is
propelled out through the bbwer deflector..
CHIPPING OPERATION
Chipping operation also takes place in the processing
chamber° Branches fed down through the chipper chute
enter the processing chamber where a hardened steel
chipper blade, mounted on the spinning flywheel, slices
the material into small chips. The chips are then
propelled out from the processing chamber through the
discharge opening into the collection bag.
