MOBIUS TRIMMER M108S USER GUIDE
28
• VFDs:
Blades: at full power (11)
Vacuum: Start at 3/4 power (approximately 7). Once the tumbler is ‘primed’ (i.e. 3/4
full, increase the vacuum until the desired trim quality is reached)
Tumbler: at full power (11)
• FEED RATE:
Once the tumbler is primed, you will likely run your infeed conveyor speed somewhere
in the range of 20 – 45. Adjust up or down as necessary to achieve desired trim quality.
If using an infeed hopper, aim to maintain a consistent feed rate once the tumbler is
primed and the desired trim quality has been dialed in
• TILT ANGLE:
Start with casters at the infeed end of the line approximately 4” off the oor. After the
tumbler has been primed and the feed rate has been dialed in for trim quality, adjust
the tilt angle up or down to maintain the tumbler at 3/4 full.
• TUMBLER FILL:
‘Priming’ the tumbler is critical for dry trimming. Priming the tumbler means to ll it as
rapidly as possible to 3/4 full. Once the tumbler is 3/4 full, dial back the feed rate as
described below, but always maintain a 3/4 full tumbler
TANDEM MOBIUS LINE
When dry trimming with a tandem Mobius line, try starting with the following parameters and adjust as
necessary to reach the desired trim quality:
• VFDs:
Blades: at full power (11)
Vacuum: Start at 3/4 power (approximately 7). Once the tumbler is ‘primed’ (i.e. 3/4
full, increase the vacuum until the desired trim quality is reached)
Tumbler: at full power (11)
• FEED RATE:
Once the tumbler is primed, you will likely run your infeed conveyor speed somewhere
in the range of 15 – 25. Adjust up or down as necessary to achieve desired trim quality.
If using an infeed hopper, aim to maintain a consistent feed rate once the tumbler is
primed and the desired trim quality has been dialed in.
• TILT ANGLE:
Start with casters at the infeed end of the line approximately 1” off the oor. After the
tumbler has been primed and the feed rate has been dialed in for trim quality, adjust
the tilt angle up or down to maintain the tumbler at 3/4 full
• TUMBLER FILL:
‘Priming’ the tumbler is critical for dry trimming. Priming the tumbler means to ll it as
rapidly as possible to 3/4 full. Once the tumbler is 3/4 full, dial back the feed rate as
described below.
