Guillotine and rotary cutting, blade technology, maintenance and line equipment.
Guillotine and rotary cutting machines do the same job with different mechanics. We compare the two on working principle, suitable materials, capacity range and maintenance.
A guillotine cutting machine cuts fibrous, flexible waste to a set length using a scissor action between moving and fixed blades. Here is how it works and where it fits in recycling.
Dull blades lower cut quality and push up energy use in recycling lines. We look at sharpening intervals, signs of dull knives, safety and the role of a dedicated sharpening machine.
