FLY-KNIFE CUTTING MACHINES

RUBBER & PLASTICS PROCESSING

Tubes are flexible elongated hollow bodies with mostly round cross sections, in contrast to inflexible tubes. A tube can be used as a conduit for conveying solid, liquid and gaseous substances, can serve as their container, or can be given desired properties by a medium inside. Tubes are also used as protective sheathing, for insulation, or for thermal insulation. Depending on the intended use, tubes are made of different materials, such as rubber, synthetic rubber or plastic. They can also be reinforced with a fabric insert, for example pneumatic tubes. Metzner has been developing and designing production machinery for tube machining for nearly three decades. Fly-knife cutting machines are used as soon as tubes have to be cut in very large quantities. They achieve up to 4000 cuts per minute with one knife and, if required, an even higher cutting performance with multiple knives.

METZNER DYNAMAT-SERIES

• for outstanding cutting performance of up to 4000 cuts per minute
• for “stop-and-go” cut or continuous cut
• for precise length measurement with measuring wheel or overtravel measurement
• for long knife life

The Metzner Dynamat series achieves up to 4000 cuts per minute with one knife and, if required, an even higher cutting performance with multiple knives. Customers have the choice between “stop & go” cut or continuous cut. There are different machine sizes for materials of up to 120 mm diameter, which are prepared as standard for a wide range of peripheral equipment and knife moistening. The Dynamat machines process elastic materials reliably and with repetitive accuracy – from silicone tubes for the medical sector to fabric-reinforced tubes and profiles. It makes no difference whether the material comes from an extruder or is unwound from a coil.

For the machines of the Dynamat series we offer the customer-oriented equipment lines »Red – Green – Blue« with the following features:

Red:  Continuous cutting only, simple control, attractive price and combination with peripheral devices as stand-alone units

Green: Optional “Stop & Go” cut (up to 400 cuts per minute) and continuous cut, comfortable PLC control with numerous menu functions

Blue: Unique cutting performance of up to 800 cuts per minute in “Stop & Go” mode in combination with a special high-speed control
