Scrap Winder is a taper drum of welded steel construction supported on a solid steel shaft running in grease lubricated roller bearings. The winder drum shaft is driven either by geared motor with unidirectional clutch arrangement or by hydraulic motor. To ensure an even build-up of scrap on the drum, an oscillating scrap guide is incorporated on optional basis. The scrap bundle from the winders drop into a trough below the winders.
