Cutting:

 Powered by a SCR-controlled, variable speed DC motor, the 40 Series cuts 250,000 denier at speeds up to 325 meters per minute. A durable, high performance double reduction belt drive employs a main shaft sprocket located between radial bearings for increased life and quiet operation.

Presser Wheel:

 The 40 Series cutter uses a large diameter (10 inch), pneumatically loaded presser wheel. This load adjusts easily from the rear side of the cutter.

Guide System:

 The tow guide provides proper tow presentation to the reel. A trumpet guide precisely confines tow at the critical area of reel contact to prevent filaments from escaping and producing super-overlengths. This trumpet guide swings away for lace-up and reel installation. The guide system is located on the operating side of the cutter.

Configuration:

 A welded, monopost, self-supporting frame design provides access to three sides of the discharge chute.

Options:

 An extensive list of options provides staple fiber producers an opportunity to configure the 40 Series cutter to their precise needs; from tow heights to speeds, total denier to cut lengths, custom drives to special paints; DM&E provides these to your requirements.

Cutter Reels:

 The 40 Series cutter uses radial blade reels. The 40 Series reel uses a drawbar for installation. This makes for easy single operator installation .

Safety:

 Swing-open front and rear reel guards electrically interlock with the motor drive to prevent accidental starting.

Power Requirements:

230 volts, single-phase, 50/60 Hz, AC

Weight:

 Approximately 700 lbs.

Warranty:

 The 40 Series is warranted for one year against defects in material and workmanship. Cutter reels and expendable wear items are excluded.
