Furthermore, ARROW CUTTERS technicians have developed the “flexible join”. A fixing between butted rules, that enables the rule to bed-in perfectly, whilst remaining in constant alignment - providing a superior alternative to “brittle” welded joins.

ARROW CUTTERS provides an extensive range of tooling for specialist engineering applications. Including to die-cut re-enforced rubber compounds, thermo metamorphic plastics, polymer mesh, thin aluminium sheet, flexible resin components and even dimensionally unstable materials. The finite element method (FEM) is quite well developed and widespread in various fields of mechanics [ 31, 32]. This method has some ability to model in detail the compaction of fine-grained material in the rollers and, as a result, improves the optimisation of the technological process and equipment. It looks pretty attractive because it allows one to study the behaviour of fine-fraction materials and tribological conditions. However, there is a problem that this method is currently not sufficiently programmatically and theoretically developed for the study of multicomponent mixtures. That applies to fine-grained mixtures in which various components, fractions, and binders are present, including those containing a liquid phase. The results of calculations using the finite element method largely depend on the specific experimental data to determine, which requires quite expensive specialised equipment. There are studies on the application of this method to studying the parameters of briquetting, which investigated the effect of the configuration of the forming elements on the energy parameters of the process and the stress distribution in the compacted material [ 33, 34, 35, 36]; however, in the authors’ opinion, too much simplification was used in the presented works, e.g., rollers roll material spread out on a flat surface.

Raising the Roller Height

And, time saved means more time for you! Once you work with a Speedypress Rotary Roller Ironer, you will not want to work with anything else!

Great care is taken to ensure exceptional build quality and minimise any tolerance variations. Each tool is specifically designed to optimise production for its particular application. Careful consideration is taken to integrate any features than will improve the efficiency of the cutter - many of which cannot be found on tooling supplied by our competitors.The heating shoe lies below, as on professional hot mangles. Heat distribution is perfectly even. Even the most demanding fabrics are smoothed gently and easily.
