Optional equipment

Well prepared for the cutting process

In addition to the basic equipment, we offer a number of options for our three-knife trimmer. Depending on your field of application, you can upgrade your PERFECTA three-knife trimmer and optimize it to your workflows.

Hopper

The hopper must be manually filled with products. A feeding device automatically takes the stock and transfers it to the feeder clamp. The advantage is that both the hopper and the delivery unit can be operated by one person.

Silicone sprayer

Within the range where the head and tail knives come into contact with the book spine, they can be sprayed with silicone to prevent glue from sticking to them. The number of cuts per spray shot can be selected.

Split cutting

Multiple-ups can be processed by a split cutting device. The pile split off is returned to the operator by a two-up carriage and manually put in the feeder clamp again.

Carbide-tipped knives

PERFECTA carbide-tipped knives are ideal for the processing of various materials. Compared with standard HSS knives, carbide-tipped knives are extremely resistant and guarantee longer lifetimes. We also offer the corresponding cutting sticks that match to the knives.

Four-side trimming

In the return mode and by using only one side knife and the front knife, the product can be manually rotated and trimmed at all four sides. The formats can be set by entering the dimensions through the touch screen and by readjusting the head gauge.

Delivery extension

The delivery line can be extended by various modules, depending on what the customer needs.

Small-size format

Small formats down to 50 x 60 mm can be processed with the aid of modified back gauges of the feeder clamp, a small-size format trimming plate and by a specific clamping shoe.

Waste conveyor belt

A conveyour belt located under the delivery ensures automatic disposal of the trimming waste.

Large-size format

The use of extended side knives, an enlarged trimming plate and of a specific clamping show allows large formats of up to 350 x 500 mm to be processed. Side table for front table extension With the aid of a mobile side table, the products can be transported, buffered or stored. This offers more working and storage space.
