ABSTRACT:
A system for continuously removing and transporting trimmed edge metal scrap material in the form of a indeterminate length of ribbon from a strip edge trimming or slitting station in a strip processing line to a final disposal station wherein the trimming station can be advantageously disposed in the path of travel of the strip of metal being processed. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the said system includes a curvilinear enclosed conveyor means, one open end of which is disposed in the area of the trimming station and the other open end of which is disposed adjacent to the disposal station for continuously capturing the trimmed edge metal scrap material from the trimming station as it is cut from the moving strip of metal and then directing it to the disposal station at the proper rate of speed. The conveyor means is advantageously provided with linear accelerator components which act in conjunction with the trimmed scrap material for propelling the trimmed scrap material in a substantially noiseless fashion to the final disposal station which in one advantageous embodiment of the invention can comprise a melting furnace.
