WPC cutting

A new machine developed by Bausano & Figli, headquartered in Rivarolo Canavese (Turin, Italy), for the simultaneous in-line cutting of 16 WPC (wood-plastic composite) profiles features an advanced system for the control and synchronization of production settings such as extrusion speed, pressure on die outlets and length of each profile.
A special blade for cutting WPC – a compound particularly difficult to work – ensures precise cutting with minimum trim production, eliminating the need for a final profile cleanup step. Moreover, to prevent the spread of potential harmful particulates in the work environment, the cutting zone is equipped with aspiration units which purify the air using special filters. Finally, to ensure the highest accuracy even when processing very wide profiles, the entire cutting unit shifts laterally to ensure precision and high cutting speed.
