Traction Groups for sheet and skeletal waste

Traction control for both in and off line production processes can vary greatly dependent upon the application demand. Two driven rollers is a popular method of feed control or alternatively a "paddles" feed system is used to reduce the granulator height and/or cater for varying or stepped feed systems.


The design of the TRIA traction group enables, in most applications, for the skeletal waste with products attached to be successfully fed.


Control is achieved in several ways;
For off line, simple mechanical speed variator may be selected;
For in line, the traction group RPM can be interfaced and automatically controlled by the production machine.

 
A dancing arm is used when the traction group is not interfaced to the thermo forming machine. This system maintains a constant tension between the thermo former and granulator and is particularly beneficial on a "stepped" feed process
