Gravity feeding saves power on material that flows and pays it back in jams on material that does not. Four tests you can run this week.
An honest engineering position: where the inclined design earns its place, where it struggles, and what the reaction force question decides.
Bundled or loose, consistent or variable, pre-sorted or as-it-comes-down. Four questions about your intake decide the design.
Both cut heavy scrap; the difference is what happens around the cut. Where each design wins — including where the box wins.
The useful question is never which shear is best but which shear is this yard. Five profiles, five answers, one method.
Four genuinely different designs share one category name. What each is, what it is for, and which ones we build — with the reasons.
