Special “combs” were added to optimize the cutting and shearing of the paint pieces and to help remove anything that would stick on the cutters, spacers or shafts.On each pass or rotation, material that adhered was scraped off and pushed to the cutters again. The paint chunks were ground to desired output size of ¼ inch, flowing easily through the pipeline. Read more….
