The scraper combs serve a few important functions during the shredding process;
- Preventing material from wrapping around the shredder spacers.
- Preventing the machine from overloading due to material wedging.
- Self-cleaning the cutting chamber.
- Preventing material to come back up.
It is advised to remove the Scraper combs prior to cleaning the cutting chamber of the GP20 Shredder.
- Remove the hopper from the machine.
- Each scraper comb is fixed in place with two bolts. These bolts can be found on the outside of the machine. Loosen all four bolts (two per scraper comb).
