The Globe Machine Manufacturing 8A Hog is a plywoodveneer hogging head comprising material feedworks (adjustable lower feed roll and upper 'Crusher' roll) and a flexible shaft-driven rotor knife assembly connected to a gear reduced electric motor. Material is carried to the 8A Hog via infeed belt conveyor. Once reaching the Hog feedworks, material is pulled into the machine by the bottom feed roll and overhead 'Crusher' roll. The Hog feedworks pull material into the rotor knife assembly (hogging head). Rotating blades, mounted on cast and machined rotors, force incoming material past a machined anvil, reducing all material to the desired uniform particle size. After processing (hogging), the material is carried from the 8A Hog by a pneumatic or mechanical conveyor.

Inside paper, toilet paper, tissue, and napkin producing factories, part of the manufacturing process includes winding the initially fabricated product onto thick, heavy-duty cardboard tubes referred to as cores. To enable the core to spin, a metal shaft must be inserted into the core. Sometimes this shaft is also used along with a hoist to relocate the roll. In many facilities, a longer shaft is strung through multiple cores. These become known as a "core set", until they are wound with tissue after which they are referred to as a "roll set". Once the metal shaft has served its purpose, it is removed through the use of the shaft pulling mechanism. The heavy shaft horizontally slides on a set of "v" positioned rollers until it settles on the cart while the machine resets its position and prepares to re-insert the shaft into the next empty core. The inserter and puller are only two of the many components that synchronize together to complete the cycle. Other components may be, but are not limited to, elevator hoists, robotic core handlers, shuttle carts, anti-tip mechanisms, inflate deflate systems, tilters, and conveyors.

Globe Glue Spreaders are preferred by companies who expect quality while obtaining even and measured glue spread. More than 800 Globe GlueSpreaders are in service. Globe Glue Spreaders have proven to be successful in spreading top, bottom, or both sides of veneer in varying thicknesses over rough peel and thick and thin. The Globe Spreader is adaptable for use in any lay-up line and has reduced glue line costs and glue waste.Features & Options Glue RollsGrooved to Specifications60-65 Durometer, Dual Durometer, or Soft RubberGlue Roll BearingsBall type, mounted in cast iron housingDoctor RollsPrecision adjustment thru gear driveSimultaneous adjustment of each rollAvailable straight, single taper, or double taperManual crank or optional air doctoringBottom Glue RollMounted on coil spring for fast recovery and better speed controlConversions availableTank-lessDrop-down tankAlso availableCustomized outfeeds

Negative Air Feeder with rotating accumulator blades and full size plenum for continuous feeding of panels one at a time from the top of a stack. Stacks are conveyed into Feeder across elevator support beams. The hydraulic elevator will then raise the stack to feed height. The top panel is then lifted off of the stack by negative air pressure, holding the panel against overhead belts which convey it to the Production Line. The full size plenum and high volume air causes the panel to lift straight up against the belts and be fed without any sliding contact with the remaining panels of the stack. After a panel has been removed from the stack, the elevator will then index the top of the remaining stack to feed height and the feed cycle starts again. This process continues until approximately 10" of stack remains at which time accumulator blades will rotate under the remaining stack. These blades will support the remaining stack, which allows the elevator to lower and accept another stack. The accumulator blades index vertically to keep the top of the stack at feed height and allow panels to be fed during the entire elevator recycle. The elevator will bring the new stack up under the accumulator blades. When a new stack is in position, the accumulator blades will withdraw and place the remaining portion of the previous stack upon the new stack. Feeders Also available with accumulator fingers for continuous operation with heavier product.

This system is designed with flexibility in mind. With the availability of several different configurations to choose from, systems can be customized for re-pulping rates as low as 100 TPD or as high as 1000 TPD. Flexibility in design goes beyond just speed; with the ability to handle all commercially available pulp bale types. These include traditional wired bales, glued bales, re-pulpable strap type bales, CTMP and Wetlap. With dewiring rates at a clip of 15 seconds per bale, a single dewiring system is more than capable of feeding multiple pulpers in batch mode, continuous mode or a combination of both pulping modes. Speed and flexibility are vitally important in todays operating environment, but dewiring efficiency is paramount. The Globe Pulp Bale Dewiring System is designed with zero-tolerance for missed wire and is offered with a 100% dewiring efficiency guarantee. At Globe Machine Manufacturing, we set the standard in Pulp Bale Dewiring & Handling Systems. A standard that others call revolutionary! Need help with a specific application?
