Hot extrusion saw roller conveyor

The saw is designed to operate in conjunction with the extrusion puller and will cut during the press dead cycle in single puller mode and cut on the fly in dual puller mode. The saw proper is attached to the conveyor chains and rollers fill the remaining lead out area. The saw retracts below the height of the roller conveyor so that the unit can be used as a standard lead out table. The saw is a self-contained, floor-mounted unit designed to match the press and run-out table height.

Hot extrusion saw conveyor FAQs

Where does the saw roller conveyor sit on the line?

Between the press platen and the run-out conveyor, where it serves as the initial lead out table. It is a self-contained, floor-mounted unit designed to match the press and run-out table height.

Can it be used as a plain lead out table when the saw is not needed?

Yes. The saw retracts below the height of the roller conveyor so the unit can be used as a standard lead out table.

When does the saw cut?

It operates in conjunction with the extrusion puller, cutting during the press dead cycle in single puller mode and cutting on the fly in dual puller mode.

What cut designs are available?

Either an under table cut or a cross cut design.
