The ProJet Radial Saw Tail Cutters are designed to be highly reliable and the Tail Width is adjustable from 20-300mm (0.8-12 in.) The ProJet Tail Cutters were part of a complete rebuild of the Dryer Section that Chelny is doing to improve speed and paper quality. The Tail Cutters generate a 100% reliable clean cut, guaranteeing maximum reliability of Tail Threading and therefore reliability of the machine. One Tail Cutter was installed before the Size Press and the second before the reel at the end of the machine. The radial saws are made of hardened steel, with typical sizes between 200-400mm. All customers that have these Tail Cutters installed, immediately notice the reduction in dirt and dust build up in the cutting area, which A. Leads to a cleaner and healthier working environment for operators and B. Maximizes reliability of the Tail Cutting and Tail Threading procedure on a paper machine. No vacuum or dust bag are required so maintenance is minimized and fire hazards are eliminated.
