Fiber tow disc type cutting machine

Fiber tow Disc type Cutting Machine

Fiber tow disc type fiber cutting machine is a specialized equipment for cutting synthetic fiber filaments into various ultra short fibers to meet the processing requirements of post-processing. The disc type flocking cutting machine is mainly used for cutting synthetic fibers such as aramid, polyester, patella, acrylic, and carbon fiber. The cutting length is determined by production requirements. The length error is less than 0.2%, and the cutting speed is 120 meters per minute.

FAQ

1. What types of textile waste can this cutting machine process?

It can process a wide range of textile waste, including waste yarn, waste cotton yarn, chemical fiber filaments, nylon filaments, fabric trimmings, scrap fabrics, and garment edge trimmings. It performs well on both soft and hard materials, as well as long and short fibers.

2. What is the output size after cutting? Is it adjustable?

The output size is typically between 5–20 cm, depending on the blade roller configuration and discharge screen mesh size. The size can be adjusted by changing the screen mesh or by adjusting the roller speed and the gap between the rotary and fixed blades to meet the requirements of subsequent opening or spinning processes.

3. What material are the blades made of? Are they durable? Do they need frequent replacement?

The blades are made of high-strength tungsten carbide (e.g., cemented carbide) or high-carbon steel, offering high hardness and wear resistance. Under normal operating conditions, the blade service life is quite long (typically 3–6 months or more, depending on material hardness). Blades can be resharpened multiple times for reuse, reducing replacement costs.

4. Does the cutting machine damage the fibers? What is the impact on subsequent fiber length?

The machine uses a shear-type cutting principle (rotary blade cooperating with a fixed blade) rather than tearing or pulling, so fiber damage is minimal. The cut fiber ends are neat, which benefits subsequent opening and spinning processes by achieving better fiber length and uniformity.

5. How safe is the equipment? Does it have protective devices?

The machine is equipped with safety guards, emergency stop buttons, and overload protection devices. Some advanced models also include self-locking wheels and photoelectric sensors to ensure operator safety during high-speed operation. The feed inlet is also designed with anti-draw-in structures.

6. What is the production capacity? Is the feeding system automatic or manual?

Production capacity typically ranges from 100–500 kg/h, depending on the model and material type. The machine is usually equipped with an automatic conveyor belt feeding device, eliminating the need for manual repeated feeding and significantly reducing labor intensity. The feeding speed is adjustable to suit different material characteristics.
