CUTTING ARRANGEMENT, AND ASSOCIATED DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

An apparatus, associated system and method are provided for producing stem segments of a plant material. A cutter includes a cutter arm configured to be rotatably driven at a first end thereof such that the cutter arm is capable of rotating about a rotational axis substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of a plant material positioned for cutting. A cutting arrangement is engaged with the cutter arm and includes at least two spaced-apart cutting blades extending from a second end of the cutter arm and substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis thereof. The cutting blades are configured to interact with the plant material so as to sever the plant material into stem segments.
