Mark IV/V Pneumatic Presser Wheel Retrofit


Mark IV/V Pneumatic Presser Wheel Retofit


 The DM&E Pneumatic Presser Wheel makes some of the benefits of the presser  wheel mechanism found on all DM&E cutters available to owners of Mark IV and Mark V cutters. The Pneumatic Presser Wheel uses an adjustable, large  diamter presser wheel. A larger presser wheel creates a shallower incidence  angle, resulting in a more gentle cutting action. Regulated, pneumatic loading of the presser wheel replaces the mechanical spring, providing maximum protection against costly reel damage from knots and dull/broken blades. A custom control panel allows for quick adjustment of the cutting force. The presser wheel to blade clearance adjusts simply. The unit arrives on site ready to install.
