TIP C 1403 Cross Cutter General Overhaul and Dampening

Over time, after years of intensive daily, around the clock production, cross cutter parts wear out. As a result, knife life becomes shorter, cut quality deteriorates and oil leakages can occur.

This T.I.P. module provides a complete overhaul of the cross cutter at the BW Papersystems facility in Germany, where all the required special precision machinery, tools, measuring equipment and expertise are available. During a general overhaul the unit is completely dismantled, thoroughly checked, cleaned and all wear and tear parts are replaced, regardless of their condition. The knife shafts are completely reconditioned in our in-house machine shop. In addition, the cross cutter knife cylinders are dampened to prevent resonance vibrations. Resonant knife cylinders have a negative impact on the knife life. If a speed increase to 300 m/min. or higher is required, dampened knife cylinders are a prerequisite.

The overhauled and dampened “as new” cross cutter comes with a 12 month warranty and written overhaul report. The general overhaul package does not include new knife shafts, cross cutter housing or internal gearbox gear wheels.

Note: While the cross cutter is being overhauled, it will not be available for production. The actual “Out-of-Service” time (door-to-door) depends on our workload and shipping period the time of inquiry/desired overhaul.
