TUMBLER EMPTY SEQUENCE
At the end of a batch or trim session, there is no longer material being fed into the infeed
end of the trimmer to push material through to the outfeed. To ensure that the material at
the end of a batch is properly trimmed and exits the tumbler without being over-trimmed,
follow these steps:
1. Once the last of the material has been loaded into the tumbler, begin to slowly
raise the tilt angle of the machine.
2. Slowly ramp down the vacuum over a period of approximately one to two minutes
and then shut off the vacuum and the blades. Leave the tumbler running. If
operating in tandem, perform this step on the infeed machine first and then
perform this same step on the outfeed machine.
3. Continue running the tumbler until all of the material has exited the machine.
TRIM TOTE CHANGES
Depending on the material being run, the trim tote may fill up every 15 – 25 minutes. Below
are the steps to take when changing out the trim tote:
1. Ensure that one of the trim team resources in the room is assigned to monitor the
trim tote fill level and stop the line when it is time to empty it out.
Note: If the trim tote is allowed to overfill, trimmed material will be forced to
bypass the tote and get directed into the impeller and fan housing exhaust. Always
empty the trim tote prior to it becoming completely full.
2. When the trim tote is ready to change out, stop the Infeed Conveyor (if using), turn
off the blades, vacuum, and tumbler by pressing the dials on the control panel, and
activate the e-stop switch.
3. Once the trimmer is at a full stop, disengage the trim tote lock levers and pull out
the full trim tote.
4. Install an empty trim tote into the separator and engage the trim tote lock levers.
Ensure that the trim tote is properly seated and that the trim tote gasket is fully
sealed against the separator.
5. To recommence trimming operations, turn on the vacuum first and wait until it
gets up to full speed (approximately 5 seconds) before turning on the tumbler and
