Single-Column Gantry Cutter for Waste Paper Tube
A single-column gantry cutter is a heavy-duty hydraulic cutting machine designed to process compressed waste paper tubes into smaller, manageable pieces. Ideal for recycling centers, paper mills, and waste management facilities, it streamlines material handling and prepares waste paper for downstream processing.
Key Features
-
Robust Single-Column Design
- Single vertical column ensures stability and space efficiency.
- Heavy-duty steel frame withstands high cutting forces (e.g., 100-1,500 tons).
-
Hydraulic Cutting System
- High-pressure hydraulic cylinder drives a sharp blade for clean, efficient cuts.
- Adjustable blade gap for handling various bale densities .
-
Automated Operation
- PLC control panel for preset cutting cycles and safety interlocks.
- Optional conveyor integration for continuous feeding and discharge.
-
Safety & Durability
- Overload protection prevents motor damage.
- Emergency stop button and safety light curtains.
- Wear-resistant blades with quick-release replacement mechanism.
Technical Specifications
- Cutting Force: 10-500 tons (customizable).
- Bale Size: Up to 1,200 mm (width) × 1,000 mm (height).
- Output Size: 200-500 mm (adjustable via blade settings).
- Power Source: 1.5-55 kW electric motor with energy-saving mode.
- Cycle Time: 10-30 seconds per cut (depending on bale density).
Applications
- Recycling Facilities: Pre-shreds compressed paper bales (OCC, mixed paper) for pulping.
- Paper Mills: Prepares waste paper for repulping into new packaging or tissue products.
- Export Preparation: Reduces bale volume to lower transportation costs.
Advantages
- High Efficiency: Processes 20-60 bales/hour, minimizing downtime.
- Low Maintenance: Centralized lubrication system and corrosion-resistant components.
- Versatility: Compatible with paper, cardboard, and lightweight non-ferrous scrap.
Environmental Benefits
- Facilitates recycling by converting bulky bales into uniform fragments.
- Reduces landfill waste and carbon footprint from transportation.
Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect hydraulic fluid levels and hoses.
- Sharpen or replace blades every 5,000-10,000 cycles.
- Clean debris from the cutting chamber to ensure smooth operation.
