Four Models for 2-1/2" to 6" (65 to 150 mm)

Continuous production of compression mold pre-forms in-line with your extruder
Eliminate off-line cutting of pre-forms
Eliminate storage and handling lengths of extruded stock for off-line cutting
Eliminate freezing ID-OD sections to make pre-forms
Eliminate dead time re-charging ram type extruders
Produce accurate compression mold pre-forms as fast as you can extrude

Goodman Extruder Die-Face Pre-Form Cutters accurately cut compression mold pre-forms right at the die face of your cold feed or hot feed extruder. The pre-form can be a solid cross section, an ID-OD section or any other shape. The extruder die supports the parts as they are cut to avoid distortion frequently seen in cutting these shapes away from the extruder. The extruder must be continuously fed with a uniform width and thickness strip feed from a pallet, carton or from a warm-up mill. Separate off-line cutting operations are eliminated. Storage and handling of cut lengths of extrusions awaiting off-line cutting are eliminated. Freezing ID-OD sections to prevent collapse when cut is not necessary.

The GOODMAN Pre-Form Cutter will double your production over a ram type extruder-cutter requiring manual reloading after every batch. Eliminate the down-time for recharging the extruder.

The Model 300 and Model 364 cuts cross sections up to 4" (100 mm)OD, if solid, up to 6" (150 mm) OD, if an ID-OD cross section with an area no larger than 12 In2 (75 cm2). The Model 600 and 696 cuts cross sections up to 6" (150 mm) OD, if solid, up to 9" (225 mm) OD, if an ID-OD cross section with an area no larger than 28 In2 (180 cm2).

The Model 364 and 696 include a spray lubrication system for the cutting blade, and an integral stainless steel pre-form dip tank with inclined, cleated, mesh conveyor belt to carry the cut pre-forms up and out of the dip tank to discharge into a secondary cooling conveyor or tank. A submerged heat exchanger can be supplied to keep the dip tank solution chilled. The heat exchanger can be piped to your chilled water system or to a dedicated chiller.
