PAPEC ENSILAGE CUTTERS 
Size No. 127 Illustrated 
Power and labor are the two biggest cost items in silo filling. The Papec iB well-known for 
its simplicity, light running and self-feeding qualities. One of the attractive features of the new 
Papec Cutters is the large steel feed table. This is a great help in the feeding of the Cutter. 
Papec Cutters have semi-steel cutting wheels with a heavy steel tire shrunk around the wheel. 
Six fans of malleable iron are used which together with a patented blower drum adjustment, 
makes elevating adjustment a possibility. 
Cutting knives are made of special steel. They are mounted so as to be easily removed or 
adjusted without danger of injury to operator. 
One of the most important features of the Papec is its one-piece semi-steel main frame. This 
frame cannot warp or twist. All bearings are cast in, assuring permanent bearing alignment. 
The self-feeding mechanism of Papec Cutters is composed of a full angle slat traveling apron, 
heavy cast feed rolls of one piece running between the teeth in the shear plate, an upper or third 
feed roll steel drum working independent of feed rolls to feed bulky material to the rolls, and 
shear plate of special iron chilled on cutting edge. The shear plate is easily removed without inter¬ 
fering with any other parts. The entire feeding mechanism is controlled by a lever whereby the 
feeding may be instantly reversed, stopped or thrown into forward gear. 
All Papec Cutters are regularly equipped with pipe and elbow for 36-foot silo. Tilting joint of 
pipe Is always included. Equipment also includes extra set of cutting knives and change gears for 
different lengths of cut. Machines may be supplied on legs or on a 4-wheel truck.
