Jiade Turret Integrated Double-Head Side Trimmer & Scrap Chopper System

This system represents a highly integrated, fully automatic scrap handling solution engineered for high-capacity continuous processing lines. It seamlessly merges the Turret Integrated Double-Head Side Trimmer and the Turret Integrated Double-Head Scrap Chopper into a single, rigid monoblock frame. As the "Golden Combination" of the finishing section, this system provides a closed-loop process from high-precision edge trimming to scrap fragmentation within a minimal footprint. It is specifically designed for modern wide strip processing lines operating at speeds exceeding 300 m/min.

【Core Process & Workflow】

1. Precision Trimming: The strip edges pass through the Side Trimmer section, where paired upper and lower rotating circular blades continuously shear off irregular edges.

2. Online Tool Change (Trimming): Utilizing a turret double-head design, one head works while the other stands by. Upon detecting blade wear, the turret rotates 180° instantaneously, swapping in the fresh head without stopping the line.

3. Scrap Chopping: The continuous trimmed scrap edge is immediately fed into the Scrap Chopper inlet. Mirroring the trimmer’s design, the chopper uses dual turrets with paired discs to chop the scrap into uniform segments (typically 150–250mm).

4. Scrap Discharge: Chopped scrap pieces fall onto a belt conveyor or chute for removal from the plant.

5. Online Tool Change (Chopping): When the chopping blades wear out, the turret swiftly switches to the standby head, ensuring the fragmentation process never interrupts.

【Key Advantages】

· Ultimate Production Continuity (Zero Downtime): The system’s defining feature. Dual-head turrets at both trimming and chopping stations eliminate shutdowns for blade changes, boosting line availability to over 99%.

· Superior Alignment & Stability: The integrated frame design removes cumulative installation errors, ensuring perfect alignment between the trimmer, chopper, and strip centerline. This prevents scrap jamming/misalignment and guarantees cut perpendicularity.

· Compact Footprint: Integrating two major units into one base reduces foundation work and floor space requirements, making it ideal for revamps or space-constrained new projects.

· Smart Operation & Maintenance: Equipped with automatic side gap and overlap adjustment mechanisms. The HMI allows storing process recipes for different materials/thicknesses, enabling one-click parameter loading and reducing operator dependency.

· Reduced Lifecycle Costs: While CAPEX is higher, the system drastically lowers OPEX by minimizing downtime losses, extending blade life (through rotation), and reducing spare part consumption (thanks to high rigidity and low vibration).

【Typical Applications】

· AHSS & Silicon Steel Lines: Essential for managing rapid tool wear caused by high-hardness materials.

· Stainless Steel HAPL: Reduces changeover frequency when processing tough, gummy materials.

· High-Speed Cold Rolling & CGL Lines: Matches production paces of hundreds of meters per minute, preventing scrap handling from becoming a bottleneck.
