Model 450 HT

Highly Customizable Unit Ideal for Slow Production Lines.

SWEED’s high torque chopper is designed for thick and medium width materials operating at slow line speeds. SWEED’s standard choppers utilize inertia of the flywheel to achieve scrap chopping action. The HT line is unique in that it’s designed to cut material at zero flywheel speed using the torque from the motor rather than the mass and inertia from a flywheel spinning at high speeds. Custom stands and additional safety upgrades are also available.

Material Reference

The recommended model of scrap chopper is determined by scrap size, scrap volume, and requested custom features. Please consult a SWEED representative to determine the appropriate scrap chopper for your application. The following are materials commonly processed through the 450 HT:

Various light gauge materials up to 3” wide

Our History

It all started with an imported gang saw. After WWII, three brothers from Germany migrated to the United States and built a sawmill on Galls Creek in Gold Hill, Oregon. Dissatisfied with the imported gang saw they were using, they decided they could make a better saw themselves.
