Scrap Chopper

Model 5703 XHD

Heavy Duty Scrap Chopper Designed for the Toughest Linear Recycling Challenges.

The Model 5703 XHD Scrap Chopper is designed to meet the toughest linear recycling challenges and is especially suited for processing high volumes of ACSR and multi-strand communications cable.

Unique front opening feedworks, taper-lock flywheel/shaft assemblies, and high-performance bearings make the 5703 XHD a remarkably tough chopper that is easy to service and maintain even when used in high-production environments. The 5703 XHD is widely recognized in the industry for pre-chopping reeled cable off the spool and can be tuned to virtually any linear scrap chopping application—delivering exceptional power and quick payback. The Model 5703 XHD is designed to fit on a SWEED stand that will accommodate a SWEED EZ Dump Hopper. Custom stands and additional safety upgrades are also available.
