7.3.3 TWIG BREAKER: The Twig Breaker (BXM42) is a breaker tab located on side of the lower rotor housing. The discharge paddle passes around the twig breaker and helps to break the material into smaller pieces and turn it into mulch. Inspect the twig breaker for damage such as gouges, a bent, or missing tooth. A damaged twig breaker should be replaced.
The shredder rotor is designed with 3 sets of swinging knives (30 knives on the BXM42) 27 knives on the BXM32). Each knife has a bevelled edge that cuts, chops and mulches the material as it moves around the rotor compartment. In addition the chop block helps to break the material into smaller pieces and turn it into mulch.
7.3.5 CHOPBLOCK: The ChopBlock is an assembly of breaker tabs bolted in at the bottom of the upper rotor housing. The shredder knives pass through the chop block, and helps to break the material into smaller pieces and turn it into mulch. Inspect the chop block for damage such as gouges, bent, or missing teeth. A dam- aged chop block should be replaced.
