 Home  Products & Service  Aluminum  Shear lines 

More performance. The speeds and coil weights of modern aluminum strip processing lines are increasing steadily. It’s obvious that the cutting plants used here must keep pace with these developments. Higher production volume coupled with perfect cutting quality – that’s what you get with our shear solutions. They are either an integrated part of our Turnkey all-inclusive plants, or we install them seamlessly into existing lines during revamps. Close meshing with the automation system ensures fully automatic operation. The benefits you gain also include constantly clean edges even after long deployment periods as well as the compact, robust machine designs. And, of course, our cutting facilities are fitted with extensive safety devices.

All the options. We supply the entire range of cutting equipment: powerful cropping shears, material-friendly trimming shears, and precise slitting and cross-cutting machines. All our shears come with state-of-the-art technologies for high precision and efficient operation. Rapid-change systems for the knives minimize maintenance and contribute to higher productivity. Larger scrap pieces, e.g. from cropping, are chopped up directly by the shears. In this context, we also supply intelligent solutions for scrap disposal, e.g. for trimmed pieces.
