ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for automatically winding ribbons of edge trim metallic scrap into a compact ball generated by a side trimming machine including a scrap collection pit located behind the side trimming machine, a conveyor system for transporting the metallic scrap from the collection pit to a winding machine having a tapered mandrel around which the metallic scrap is wound. The scrap winding machine further includes an ironing roll which compacts the metallic scrap as it is wound and a ball ejection means which removes the compacted ball from the winding machine. The conveyor system includes a first sheave and cable system located in the collection pit and a second sheave and cable system extending at an incline from the pit to the winding machine. The sheave and cable systems include a plurality of spring loaded drag hooks for engaging the metallic scrap. The winding machine further includes a parting shear located on an edge of a trailing door which severs the ribbon as the trailing door is closed. The system further includes a hood attached to the side trimming machine for deflecting the trimmed metallic scrap into the collection pit. The entire system is fully automated and can be operated without human intervention.
