SSI - Bearing and Seal Protection Isolates System

SSI’s cutting chamber design isolates system bearings and seals from processed material preventing seal damage and improving on-line reliability. SSI’s shredder designs incorporate splash plates, sometimes called false end plates, at each end of the cutting chamber. Splash plates isolate shredded material from the seal area. To enhance this separation, round (hookless) cutters adjacent to the splash plates ensure that no shredding occurs directly against the splash plate walls. Finally, a small radial clearance separates an oversized spacer from the splash plate opening.
