Meanings

1. A machine for making rubber into crepes (rubber sheets).
   • It is common practice to mount a creper directly above the hammermill (creper hammermill) to reduce the power requirements. 1985, Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, page 697:
   • For continuous slabs of coagula derived from the conventional tanks, these are best subjected to one pass through a creper and to a granulator or a creper-hammermill for size reduction. 1973, Quarterly Journal - Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka, page 172:
   • The coagulum is pressed between rollers to form crepes, mashed into small pieces by a hammer mill and finally into crumbs by an extruder. An alternative method of making crumb is to add incompatible oil to coagulated latex and then feed it through a creper for transformation into crumbs. 2010, Hari P. Singh, Bharat P.
