Maintains Cutting Edge Without In-Place Cylindrical Grinding

Performance
Model 8-3 offers proven BloApCo design with new, innovative
maintenance and operating features to achieve higher performance and
economy. Driven by a 5-hp electric motor, the 8-3 cuts everything from
paper to heavy non-ferrous metal as
thick as 0.025". Varied knife profiles make short work of corrugated
and fiber board, plastic film and foil laminates and
pressure-sensitive stock trim up to 13" (330.2 mm) wide. Wearresistant
T-15, NEOR and carbide knives can be arrayed to match slitting equipment
while reducing multiple ribbons of trim, depending on weight and thickness,
for pneumatic conveying, baling, disposal or recycling.
Precise Operation
Cutting with one stationary bed knife and two rotating knives, the
8-3 makes two cuts per revolution at speeds from 500 to 2,000
rpm and passes 4,500 cfm of air at a static pressure loss of 1.5"
wg. (7,650 m3/hr). Rotor-mounted set screws make the knives
individually and easily adjustable for maximum precision, and
easy to remove for sharpening with no need for “in-body”
rotor
grinding. Class “O” tapered roller bearings eliminate endplay
and
runout problems, while the open rotor design allows fast, free
flow of cut material through the cutter housing.
Easy Installation
Installation of a Model 8-3 trim cutter is quick and simple: The
cutter is factory-tested, tailored to your application, and shipped
completely assembled and ready to run.
