Blade Scraper
- All-Electric Slicers
A blade scraper made from three strips of Delrin that rub against the top and bottom of the
blade removes residue from the blade as it is running (See Figure 6). The top strip is hinge
mounted so that it can be moved away from the blade. The strip must be rotated down and
locked in position before starting the blade.
Check the blade scraper acetal strips daily for noticeable wear. Replace them before wear becomes
excessive and wiping efficiency suffers.

Hydraulic Slicers
The blade scraper, sometimes called plow wiper, is made from two thin flat strips of Delrin that
rub against the top and bottom of the blade to remove residue as the blade is running. It is located
on the drive side top of the cutting blade. The blade scraper must be centered on the blade to insure
that all residue is removed from the blade. Loosen the two set screws holding the wipers in place
and move them as needed to center the scraper on the band blade.
The scraper must be adjusted so it makes firm contact with the blade as the blade enters the
point of the scraper. The top strip is hinge mounted so that it can be moved away from the
blade. To adjust the scraper move the lower scraper strip up until it touches and causes
approximately 1/8 inch deflection of the cutting blade. Then rotate the upper scraper strip
