T E C H N I C A L D A T A The Sweeper System Patent pending The Sweeper system is designed to automatically remove material from a gaylord type container without the need for human intervention. Empties gaylords without human intervention Standard features: Automatic material removal The sweeper’s rotating action moves resin to a slotted pickup tube to be vacuumed out of the container. Reduces labor No one has to manually move the pickup tube because resin is constantly moved to the vacuum point. Reduces waste Effective material removal keeps resin from being thrown away. Small footprint Footprint is slightly more than the gaylord being unloaded. Safer than a tilt table The sweeper has no heavy-duty hydraulics with pinch points and low torque and rotation speed provide inherent safety – no guards required. Easy placement of resin containers A pallet jack can move the container into position…no forklift required. Lower installation and operation costs The Sweeper requires no compressed air and operates on 115 V electricity, drawing less than 2 amps. Signal lights Lights indicate when the unit is “ON” and when it is rotating. Energy savings / extended motor life A vacuum switch allows the unit to operate only while your vacuum system is pulling material. Thus, this system is always ready, never has to be manually started or stopped. There is a Jog button to rotate the unit manually. Model SW-4815 Dual Sweeper

The Sweeper gets its name from the fact that it continuously "sweeps" gaylord to the outer edges.

Ultimately, less than 10 lb. of pellets remain. • A sturdy structural steel stand that straddles the gaylord allowing easy front access, • A set of vertical "rails" carry a "trolley"...
