Strap Chopper for Plastic and Steel Strapping

SWEED is at the forefront of designing material handling systems, offering advanced recycling, and handling solutions tailored for industries like wood products and scrap metal.

SWEED scrap choppers offer solutions to reduce a variety of scrap, everything from P.E.T. strapping, steel banding, baling wire, and bandsaw blades to fast-moving slitter trim and red-hot tube scarf.

No matter what industry you are in, maintaining workplace safety and efficiency in your facility, yard, or plant is important. A brilliant way to maximize productivity and worker safety while simultaneously reducing costs and increasing revenue is by streamlining your scrap materials.

With Sweed’s steel banding choppers, it’s quite easy to handle and dispose of the unprocessed steel banding.  The banding chopper processes the metal to a scrap so compact that the unprocessed contents of one 30-yard dump box can fit into two 55-gallon drums after chopping.

There are so many benefits to efficiency both on the line and off with Sweed steel banding choppers: Wood & Lumber industry - Textiles industry - Paper industry – Food – Beverage - Packaging industries – Warehousing and Recycling industry.

Simply feed the scrap banding into the infeed funnel. The Scrap chopper material handling system will then engage, as the feed works grips the material and draws it into the path of the rotating knives. It efficiently chops the material until it's fully processed or until the operator disengages the feed works using the release lever.

Sweed Choppers offer a powerful solution. Capable of converting any kind of ferrous or non-ferrous material into a more manageable state, these choppers are versatile.

Short list of linear scrap materials: Bailing Wire - Polyester Strapping - Polypropylene Strapping - Steel Strapping - Wire rope - Steel rods and Metal banding.
