TIP F 1402 Bielomatik Cross Cutter General Overhaul

Machine Model for Improvement

All Bielomatik Folio-Size Sheeters

Description of Improvement

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

This TIP module provides a complete overhaul of the cross cutter aggregate 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 including lubrication pump are replaced, regardless of their condition. The knife shafts are completely reconditioned in our in-house machine shop. The overhauled “as new” cross cutter comes with a 12 month warranty.

The general overhaul package does not include new knife shafts, cross cutter housing, hardened upper knife clamping wedges or synchronous gear wheels as according to our experience, these components do not need to be replaced precautionary.

While the cross cutter aggregate will be overhauled in one of our BW Papersystems facilities in Germany, a rental exchange unit can be provided in order to keep the sheeter in production.

Benefits

• Cross cutter will be “as new” with a 12 months warranty - more economic than a new unit
• Exchange of all wear & tear parts reduces operation and maintenance costs
• New hardened upper knife clamping wedges: Improved knife lifetime
• Cut quality equal to that of a new cross cutter
