Plastic Sheeter Out Produces Inline Drop Shear

02.04.15Producers of PET polyester, magnetized laminates, lenticular plastics, high impact poly styrene (HIPS), high density polyethylene (HDPE), Expanded poly styrene (EPS), high pressure laminates and coated plastic films can convert product at higher speeds than conventional drop shear equipment while insuring square, accurate dimensions using MAXSON’s twin knife rotary technology.

Using MAXSON’s proven dual knife rotary cutter design, the SDFK provides the cleanest, quietest and highest quality cutting action available. With a knife loading capacity 800 lbs./3300 sq ft (1000 gsm) its solid knife revolvers are the market leader in shearing power. Employing energy conserving AC drive technology the SDFK Sheeter provides a sheet length accuracy of +/-0.015” (+/- 0.38 mm).

In this sheeter design, the cutting section includes knives mounted in an upper and lower rotating cylinders. Using the exclusive clash arrangement, the Operator can safely adjust the cross cutting blades while the cutter is running, by transversely shifting the upper cylinder across the width of the cutter to increase (or decrease clash). This allows the Operator to improve cut quality while running the sheeter.
