Geotextile Cutting and Collecting Apparatus and Method

摘要

A geotextile cutting apparatus having a lifting arm and cutting disk capable of cutting uniform width strips of geotextile material in the field. The uniform width strips of the geotextile material are then collected on a bobbin held and rotated by powered spindles on a variable width yoke of a collection apparatus, thus collecting the previously cut uniform width of geotextile material into compact rolls. The method of collecting geotextile material in the field having the steps including, cutting the material into uniform strips with a lifting arm having a cutting disk and then collecting those uniform strips on a rotating bobbin held and turned by rotating spindles on a variable width yoke.
