SERVICE TIP

Cleaning Stripper Shoes

Some concrete products are more difficult to produce than others - the "L" Corner Split Ledge block is a good example of this.

The existence of the transverse knife hinders the effectiveness of the wiper brush causing an accumulation of concrete on the stripper shoes. To manufacture quality product, the block producer must stop production every few cycles to manually clean this area.

To resolve this problem, Besser has designed a special plunger with retractable shoes (part number 18-4321), shown below.
