Abstract

The hold down device is pivotal toward and away from a feeding table which conveys various sizes of materials to reduction apparatus. The hold down device includes a curved belly pan which, depending upon its point of contact with the material, creates either an additional hold down force to aid in conveying and shredding the material or creates a force raising the hold down device to avoid jamming.
