DOUBLE BACKER & DRYING SECTION
Hotplates (electrical)
Heating plates or segments to dry the board, especially the outer liner.
Pressure System / load system
Load system (shoe plates) to assure board contact with the heating elements.
SLITTER / SCORER
See-saw type
With two knife and slitter systems or a quick order change.
Manual/auto setting
Manual positioning of the tools with indication of position.
Slide system
The tool assembly not in use can be moved outside of the machine to be pre-set for the next order.
Cut against brush from bottom
The knives will cut from top against a brush on the bottom.
This ensures a clean cut due to the support of the brush filaments and less dust on the board.
Two knife sets
Double axis with knives for an on-the-run change in production. See-saw swing type system.
Knife assembly on slide can be pulled out laterally, manually with quick release.
The number of knives and slitter (tools) per shaft will be defined in conjunction with the customer.
Edge trim / Shredder
Side trim knives with extraction unit and possibly shredder for the side trim waste.
Please note: further transport out of the line (vacuum system or conveyor) is not part of the scope.
Grinding system
Grinding system for the knives within the machine.
Lubrication system
Lubrication system with oil or water to clean the knives from glue and dirt.
CUT_OFF KNIFE
Single station flying knife system to cut transversal over the working width.
Circular knife which moves in two axis: with the paper and at the same time transversal over the width. Ensures no shock is transmitted to the board
Production data control (shift meter, production speed, cut length) possible
One touch panel in the line
