Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred to over a thousand cuts per minute, depending on product width and desired cut length.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, along with a compressed air supply for pneumatic operation.

Cutting width

The maximum cutting width typically accommodates standard conveyor belt sizes, often ranging from 600mm to 1200mm.

Footprint

A unit with an infeed conveyor and scrap take-off system will require a linear footprint, commonly between 2.5m and 4m in length, and approximately 1.5m to 2m in width.

Materials of construction

Components in contact with food are typically made from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Control system

Units commonly feature a PLC-based control system with a user-friendly interface for setting cut length and speed.
