Following the blade change the question arises: What to do with the used blade?
It frequently occurs that several used blades get collected and then doze in a corner of the production plant, thus being a major source of risk for the personnel – as the blade still can be sharp or due to its length there is the danger of tripping over it.
To avoid this risk already pre-emptively, with our CLOUTH DOCTOR-CUT® we offer you the possibility of a safe and simple disposal of plastic and metal blades, at what the device as well has a space-saving design, can be used in a cost-effective manner.
Our CLOUTH DOCTOR-CUT® is made from powder-coated steel and thus suitable for production environments. By a built-in feed unit, the blades are moved forward to the high-quality tempered special chipper knives, shredded in the machine to leftover pieces of 25 cm and then collected in a lattice box which is available as an option. There is no need to in advance remove rivets that are built in.
During the processing at 380V and a cutting speed of 5,000 mm in 10 seconds, the CLOUTH DOCTOR-CUT® with a weight of 280 kgs stands securely and stable.
Being the machine operator, you, of course, have the chance to control the crushing process via the back and forward keys. It is self-explanatory that there is an emergency stop switch as well as a start stop function.
