Zusammenfassung: | The apparatus comprising a packaging material guide path, a crushing mechanism on the guide path, including at least one rotatable crusher element for crushing the packaging material introduced in an inlet to the guide path; the or each rotatable crushing element having a plurality of longitudinal crusher projections thereon. Drive means for moving the material long the guide path and a cutting mechanism comprising a cutter downstream of the crushing mechanism. The drive means being operable in first and second opposite directions, the crushing mechanism couples to the drive means to be only drivable in the first direction and the cutting mechanism similarly only in the second direction. The crushing mechanism may comprising first and second rotatable crushing elements including first and second roller bushing attached to first and second drive gears. The bushing may be unidirectional needle roller bushings. The crushing means may attach to the drive means via a sprag clutch. The drive means may comprise a motor with an output shaft drivable in first or second directions and a drive belt engageable with the crushing and cutting mechanisms. Also included are claims to A method of using such apparatus and a wireless controller to control the drive means which may including a packaging measurement sensor, the controller automatically switching the direction of the drive means when a predetermined length of packaging has been processed. |
