Model QG-1814 Futura Series: Foremost Machine Builders has upgraded this scrap grinder, known for quiet operation due to a double-walled hopper and sound-absorption cabinet. The grinder also has a right-angle cutting chamber that incorporates an offset rotor to accept large bulky parts while minimizing fly back.

MODEL QG-1814 FUTURA SERIES Foremost Machine Builders has upgraded this scrap grinder, known for quiet operation due to a double-walled hopper and sound-absorption cabinet. The grinder also has a right-angle cutting chamber that incorporates an offset rotor to accept large bulky parts while minimizing fly back.

WHAT'S NEW? The air-relief elbow incorporated into the hand-feed hopper design. Aimed at blow molding container applications, this feature allows the blowing of trim scrap and off-spec bottles directly into the grinder.

BENEFITS Convenience. Bottle manufacturers can perform grinding right on the production floor, instead of in a separate grinding room.
