Inter-Source: Wringers


Automatic chip processing and successful pucking (chip densification) requires fluid removal via wringers. Inter-Source offers the most comprehensive range of sizes and types, and owns the patents on many critical wringer advancements.

Only Inter-Source guarantees a retained moisture content of 2% or less on processed chips, and typically, the moisture content is substantially lower.

This list includes some of the wringers Inter-Source has engineered for clients:

8. Axial Suspension (Anti-Friction) System

An axial suspension (anti-friction) system is for more demanding, high volume applications, typically those handled with a 40″ or 50″ wringer.

Axial suspension promotes wringer life and minimizes installation requirements because no special foundation is required. Balance variations are dampened.

11. Safety Interlock on Lid

Safety interlock on lid reflects Inter-Source’s focus on operator safety. It ensures that the bowl may not be accessed until it has stopped.

This EN954-I Category 1 device is suitable for Category 3 or 4 classification, depending upon application requirements.
