STEAM INJECTION LAB PRESS
IN TWIN SCREW PRESS STEAM INJECTION
CORD CUTTER AND STRIPPER
Sometimes long stringy material will be pinched where the feeder portion of the
screw goes through the hole in the B Plate. This material will co-rotate with the
screw and build into a bundle which reduces the flow through the press.
A groove, like a keyway that is 3/8" deep, is cut half way through the hole in the B
plate. We call this a Cord Cutter. Material trapped between the flight and the hole
in the B plate will pop up slightly as it passes the Cord Cutter. The result is that the
material is sheared loose.
A part called Brian's Stripper may be welded to the B Plate, inside the inlet hopper.
It goes in a position so that the flight lightly kisses the stripper as it goes past. This
strips the material away. Strippers are made of square bar.
