Core cleaning apparatus

摘要

Apparatus for removing remnants of debris from the exterior surface of cores includes an assembly moveable from a position spaced from the exterior surface of the cores to a position adjacent the exterior surface. One or more abrasion belts are looped around rotatable shafts which move the belts to abrade the exterior surface of the cores.

主权项

1. An apparatus for cleaning remnant material from the exterior surface of a cylindrical core, said core having a central axis, comprising:
(a) a frame having an upper support member extending along a first straight line path and a lower support member extending along a second straight line path parallel to the first straight line path; (b) a cutting assembly engaged with the upper support member for cutting remnant material carried on the exterior surface of the core; (c) a core cleaning assembly mounted on the lower support member, the core cleaning assembly including;
(i) a pair of spaced apart rotatable shafts each lying on and rotatable about an axis parallel to the central axis;(ii) one or more belts having abrasion surfaces supported on the shafts;(iii) means for moving the shafts to carry the belts into contact with the remnant material; and(iv) means for rotating the shafts, thereby causing the one or more belts to move and abrade the cut remnant material from the exterior of the surface of the core.
