CUTTING MACHINE WASTE EXTRACTION APPARATUS

摘要

A cutting machine waste extraction apparatus is provided and includes ducting system and junction apparatus such that waste from cutting is removable from the cutting area through a movable ducting system. The ducting system receives and directs waste from the cutting area, up a vertical plane to a horizontal plane. A portion of the ducting system is connected by the junction apparatus to another portion of the ducting system, whereby in the horizontal plane the ducting is movable with respect to other ducting. The junction apparatus includes a movable junction ducting for directionally directing waste flow. The ducting has at least one movable flexible belt covering and sealing the ducting. belt being movably supported by rollers to be slidably raised above a portion of the ducting to allow the junction apparatus to be movable along the ducting to allow waste therein while being continuously fluidly sealed.
