- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on block size and desired cut, but semi-automatic units commonly process several blocks per minute.
- Power supply
- Pneumatic systems typically require a compressed air supply, commonly 6-8 bar, and may have a small electrical requirement for controls, often single-phase 230V.
- Construction material
- Units of this type are almost exclusively constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.
- Suitable feed sizes
- This unit is specified for blocks up to 350mm wide x 200mm high. Other units in this category typically handle standard Euroblock sizes or custom dimensions.
- Cutting mechanism
- Pneumatic cutters commonly utilise blades or wires driven by air cylinders for precise and repeatable cuts.
- Footprint
- A compact unit of this type, including the outfeed conveyor, typically requires a footprint of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width.
- Hygiene and cleaning
- Designed for easy cleaning, with smooth stainless steel surfaces and often quick-release components for access.
