I would think the drive shaft would probably be ok to be honest mate.. I would deffinatley be checking the bearings that hold it though.

 

Hardened steel tends to snap and shatter rather than cut like mild steel so you could be lucky.. the reason the pin would have come out in the first place would be from fracturing.

 

I'd get her stripped right down and checked and then get a thorough examination done for peace of mind.

 

 

Sorry to hear that.. not good news.

wonder what damage a brown and pink nike sneaker would do if it went through a chipper. Say a BANDIT for instance???

 

Brown and Pink are popular colour's when it comes to BANDITS Frank.Probably eat it right up.

I have had scaffold cup locks, steel bar, ballast through a 19-28 (on hire, not me!!) and never any serious damage, the flywheel is sold, not like the t/w and the paddles are much thicker than the jensen machines, prob not a great deal of damage

I can clear up the Anvil issue. All chippers need some form of Anvil, they are located at the end of the infeed roller box, they are always stationary. The rotating chipper blades which are fixed to the fly wheel use them to cut against and whilst cutting perforamnce is related to the condition of the anvil, it is not as important as the condition of the chipper blades.

 

Hope that helps

 

I am happy to answer any issues relating to chipper blades as I have over 20yrs experience manufacturing them

In 15 years of using and training people on chippers, you may find the anvil, and rollers are just as important as sharp blades!

He's not saying they aren't important, he's saying their condition isn't AS critical for performance as the condition of the blades.

Try chipping with realy worn anvil(s) or rollers, the effect is just as bad as dull blades?
