Application Notes
Inside Chime Cut Models
Wizard GS, GA, and RGA units and WIZ-Kid unitsInside chime cut models are ideal for general industrial use; where a USDA approved cutting method is not required, and drums will not necessarily be crushed or reconditioned after deheading. Chimes are left as strong as possible for future drum re-use. Remove the top or bottom lid of an empty or filled 30-55 gallon steel drum.
How they work... Inside chime cut models cut through the first layer of steel on the inside of the drum chime. Once cut, the drum lid can be removed by hand. (A rubber mallet and safety gloves are recommended for this purpose).
Outside Chime Cut Models
Wizard FS, FA, RFA, HDFS, HDFA, HDRFA, HS, and HA unitsOutside chime cut models are ideal in food applications, or anywhere a USDA-approved cutting method is required. Protect drum contents from contamination. Lid stays in place until lifted off with a cover lifter (included) and can be re-used as a cover. Use with 30-55 gallon steel drums.
How they work... Outside chime cut models cut through the first layer of steel on the outside of the drum chime. Once cut, the drum lid can be easily removed with a cover lifter (included with model).
Outside Shell Cut Models
Models Wizard JS, JA, and RJA unitsOutside shell cut models are ideal in applications where a drum will be crushed, flattened, or reconditioned after deheading. Remove the entire top or bottom to facilitate disposition. Use with 30-55 gallon steel drums.
How they work... Outside shell cut models cut through the first layer of steel on the outside of the drum, just below the chime. Once cut, the entire drum top (or bottom) can be easily removed by hand. (Safety gloves are recommended for this purpose).
Manual units are recommended when drum volume is low (fewer than 25 drums per week). Manual deheader and WIZ-Kid Manual.
"Electric" units are ideal when drum volume is moderate to high (more than 25 drums per week). These self-propelled units minimize operator effort and strain. The fastest deheading method. WIZ-Kid Electric, GS, JS, FS, HDFS, and HS Models."Air" (pneumatic) units are for moderate to high drum volumes (more than 50 per week). They are ideal in applications where electrical power is unavailable or less convenient than air, or to lessen the possibility of sparking. GA, JA, FA, HDFA, and HA.
"Automatic Air" (pneumatic) units are the most automated deheaders available; the cutter wheel/drive roller gap is narrowed automatically by air pressure rather than manually with a T-Bar handle. Recommended for moderate to high drum volumes (more than 50 drums per week). RGA, RJA, RFA, and HDRFA.
Burr-free cut: All Wizard deheaders feature a burr-free edge, except for the "Manual Deheader". Minimize sparking: Non-ferrous cutter wheels or blades are available with most manual and pneumatic units.
