DUNING CONVERSION MACHINE AND DUNING METHOD AND PRODUCT

摘要

a conversion assembly (34) for a dump conversion machine includes both a downstream pair of rotating members and an upstream pair of rotating members upstream of the downstream rotating members. downstream rotatable members include a pair of gears (142, 144), and each gear has a plurality of teeth and is rotatable about a respective axis. the gears are positioned such that the teeth of one gear are sequentially intertwined with the teeth of the other gear as the gears rotate. upstream rotatable members include a pair of feed wheels (146, 148), and gears and feed wheels define a path for a sheet stock material from between the upstream pair of feed wheels to between the pair downstream gears. The rate at which sheet stock is advanced by the feed wheels is the same as the rate at which sheet stock is advanced by the gears.
