3-19 Installing the Grinder Take-off Attachment
A grinder take-off attachment is typically mounted horizontally
through the side of a grinder or granulator bin or any other straight
sided supply bin.
1. The take-off attachment is mounted through a hole cut close
to the bottom of the bin to allow emptying as much material
as possible.
2. Cut a hole smaller than the mounting plate.
3. Mount the take-off attachment with the mitered air inlet tube
on top, and the straight material outlet on the bottom.
4. Mark and drill holes to match the mounting plate holes.
Fasten tightly with sheet metal screws, bolts, or rivets.
5. Secure the mounting hardware with a removable thread
locking adhesive, cotter pins, aircraft fasteners, etc. to
prevent the hardware from vibrating loose and being
conveyed into the processing machine.
6. You should attach grounded flex hose to the material outlet
and the vacuum receiver with hose clamps. The other tube is
the air inlet to supply make-up air to the bin. Avoid loops or
kinks in the flex hose.
