Why a Trim Cutter?

Trim cutters enable continuous web manufacturers,slitters and converters to remove edge trim from production lines while maximizing up-time by eliminating edge trim blockages.

Trim cutters cut continuous material into small pieces that move with ease to a collection area such as a baler or compactor. Trim cutters are ideal wherever one or more edge trims are conveyed through
the same duct.

Imagine conveying several continuous ribbons of material from multiple converting machines through a common duct. If you convey continuous trims without cutting them, they twist and rope. This “roping” leads to balling of edge trim as faster and slower moving trims tangle and plug the duct. This plug could be anywhere in the scrap system. Furthermore, non-tearable continuous trims being conveyed through a material handling fan wrap around the fan wheel, plugging and possibly damaging the fan.

Another major benefit: trim cutters handle a wide range of materials, including:

• Brass, copper and aluminum foil
• Skeletal die cuts and trims
• Corrugated board,micro flute to triple wall and honeycomb
• Laminated materials such as polycoated paper
• Non-wovens
• Plastic films
• Poly and vinyl extrusions.
• Pressure sensitive label stock
• Reinforced tapes and laminates
• Solid fiber paperboard
• Textile fibers

Now we get down to the business of selecting a trim cutter that suits your needs and maximizes machine up-time.
