Five Models for Uncured Rubber Sheet or Slabs from 16" to 60" (400 to 1500 mm) Wide

CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF MASTER BATCH SLABS, TRANSFER PRESS & COMPRESSION MOLD PRE-FORMS IN-LINE WITH AN INTERNAL MIXER, MILL OR CALENDER BATCH-OFF SYSTEM

Eliminate costly secondary cutting operations for milled and calendered uncured rubber sheet or slab stock
Cut uniform slabs, rectangular transfer pads or compression mold loads continuously at the end of your batch-off system
Synchronize the Rotary Shear Cutter in-feed conveyor to your batch-off unit to simplify your set-up and operation
Reduce your maintenance headaches with a rugged machine built to last

The rugged construction of a GOODMAN Rotary Shear Cutter makes it ideal for cutting rubber sheet from thin calendered stock to densely loaded and thick slabs up to 1" (25 mm) thick. At either extreme of thickness a clean cut is produced. Even on product that is cut on a PVC liner sheet, both product and the liner sheet are cleanly cut every time. 

For cut lengths over 30" (760 mm) and cut length/line speed combinations producing a cutter speed of under 40 cuts per minute, GOODMAN Rotary Shear Cutters use a pneumatic single-revolution clutch/brake to actuate the cutter head. This system has a large diameter flywheel turning continuously at 200 RPM. Product length is measured by an encoder and measuring wheel riding on the underside of the in-feed conveyor. Pulses are sent from the encoder to an electronic preset length counter. When the preset length is reached, the clutch/brake engages the cutter head to make a single revolution at the rate of 200 RPM. The clean cut is made in about 0.3 seconds.

For cutting rates above 40 cuts per minute the cutter head is rotated continuously by an electronically controlled variable speed drive. Depending on the cut length accuracy required, we employ one of several different available drive systems.
