The seller lists five individual 20 HP motors at 460 volts, three phase, 60 Hz and approximately 1,750 RPM; five sets of 36-inch band wheels with 1½-inch faces; and 1¼-inch-wide bands approximately 15 feet 6 inches long, with six blades included. Other reported equipment includes air blade tensioning, sandwich-style guides, hydraulic head-spacing adjustment, variable-speed hydraulic belt feed, hydraulic hold-downs and an included power pack rated at approximately 15 GPM.

Reported capacities are approximately 7 inches cutting width, 14 inches cutting height and material thickness from 7/16 inch to 6 inches. Overall dimensions are listed as 29 feet long, 104 inches wide and 77 inches high, with an estimated 14,000-pound weight and one-section transport. These seller measurements require confirmation; exact factory model and year are unknown.

Motor starters, the main control panel, electrical disconnect, infeed and outfeed conveyors, and a return system are not included. A complete emergency-stop/interlock system is unconfirmed, and no operator manual was supplied. Mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, structural and guarding work must be evaluated as part of the rebuild.
