High Speed Single Knife Cutting.  The A400 is Appletons Fastest Single

 Knife Re-Cutter, running up to 2 times faster than the A301 

Automatic.

This unit serves to rapidly cut batches of fiber cores of a given 

length with minimum operator labor And to cut heat sensitive and /or 

thick wallplastic tubes & tapes.

The A400 provides you with:

-       Faster cutting - the result of an improved hydraulic

system coupled with our fixed knife.

-       Clean, polished, cuts - the Appleton fixed knife slices

rather than saws or scores for a cleaner, faster cut.

-       Precise control- new valving results in a wider range of

operator adjustment offeed and cutting rates for optimal

performance.

-       Plastic cutting - with proper cutting tools the A400 can

cut a variety of plastics.

-       Expandability - theA400 is PLC equipped, making it ready

for automation options like the auto-indexing knife or

automated parent and cut core handling systems - freeing

your operators for other tasks.

-       Quick diameter changes - Five minutes for a mandrel

change, or less than one minute with our patented Instant

Diameter Change (IDC) mandrel system.

-       Energy Savings - the A400 has a timer that shuts down the

cutter if it has not been used for an operator settable

interval. This saves wear and tear on the cutter.

-       Improved safety - the cutter is running only when it is in

service, the knife is well guarded.

-       Service prompt - the A400 prompts the operator when it is

time to service the hydraulic filter.
