This is the scrap rewinder. After the parts
are removed from the plastic sheet, the remaining skeletal trim scrap is often
rewound and collected for baling or grinding material offline. The worker will
manually feed the scrap into the rewinder and remove the bale of material when the
rewinder is full. [Photo description:

process. [Photo description:
