Tube and Pipe Scarf Disposal
Removing, and disposing of tube scarf is a tricky and dangerous business. I.D. and O.D. tube scarf is a very hard material, with very sharp, jagged edges. Tube scarf is softer when it is hot, (can you say brand and cut) but is still a hazardous risk for the mill operator to contend with. The "scarf balls" are heavy, hot, and sharp! Sweed Choppers handle the grueling job of tube scarf processing. Quit your "winding" and get a Sweed scrap chopper!
