Patz 9427 Chopper

Standard Features & Options

QUADRA-SHARK® ROTOR BLADE
Patented unique, one-piece, four-point, double-edge rotor blade is designed for chopping and long life. The 3/16-inch (4.7 mm) thick, through-hardened steel blades are beveled and serrated for effective cutting action and provide plenty of strength for tough cutting conditions. No bolts, rivets, or welds on the blade, so snagging or wrapping of material is greatly reduced.

Quadra-Shark® is a registered trademark of Patz Corporation.

ROTOR ASSEMBLY
20 spiral mounted rotor blades provide fast, efficient cutting. Large 5-inch- (127 mm-) diameter, diecast aluminum spacers reduce wrapping. A strong 1-1/2-inch diameter hex shaft can handle the torque. The rotor speed of 2,850 RPMs cuts at a high-volume rate.

ADJUSTABLE GRATE
Each 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick grate finger is welded at both ends to the two full-length grate shafts for rigidity.  The adjustable grate and rotor are designed for short chopping of straw, hay, bark, plastics, and many more materials.

SEVEN POSITION-GRATE CONTROL
A single-handle, seven-position, adjustable grate control allows varying length of cut and adjusts material flow rate. Two-bolt flange rotor shaft bearings are mounted outside the chopper frame to minimize contamination and allow easy lubricating and servicing.

DISCHARGE DOORS
Two adjustable discharge doors direct the flow of materials.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Class ABC rated fire extinguisher is standard on all 9427 Chopper units.
