Model 480 HT

Highly Customizable Unit for Wide Scrap Produced in Slow Production Lines.

SWEED’s High Torque chopper line is designed to work in slitter line applications where production line speeds are slower than average.

SWEED’s standard choppers utilize the flywheel to achieve scrap chopping action. The HT line is unique in that it’s designed to cut material at zero flywheel speed using the torque from the motor rather than the mass and inertia from a flywheel spinning at high speeds. The 7” wide infeed of the 480 design makes this unit suitable for wider scrap applications. Custom stands and additional safety upgrades are also available.

Material Reference

The recommended model of scrap chopper is determined by scrap size, scrap volume, and requested custom features. Please consult a SWEED representative to determine the appropriate scrap chopper for your application. The following are materials commonly processed through the 480 HT:

Our History

It all started with an imported gang saw. After WWII, three brothers from Germany migrated to the United States and built a sawmill on Galls Creek in Gold Hill, Oregon. Dissatisfied with the imported gang saw they were using, they decided they could make a better saw themselves.
