The shearing machine is used to shear sheep,
1
goats and llamas, alpacas and other camelidae.
Two comb-like blades serve as cutting tools. The
comb plate (2) closest to the skin of the animal is
fixed and attached to the housing. The upper blade
(3) moves back and forth against the lower blade.
The upper blade is set in motion with the help of
two chicken feet. The clipping pressure between the
blades is adjusted via the adjustable head (1).
