Describe incoming material
Distinguish fiber, strands, prepreg and trimming scrap. Supply width, thickness, resin or tack information and representative samples.
Continuous Cutting of Carbon Fiber and Composites
RT Series combines continuous feeding with rotary cutting for applications including carbon fiber, resin feedstock and trimming material. All RT models are configured to the material and project requirements.
Selection considerations
Define the target size
Specify required cut length, acceptable size distribution, edge condition and the downstream process. Different feedstocks are not the same granulation task.
Confirm line interfaces
Describe continuous feeding, discharge handling and available space. The catalog RT table gives family reference configurations; final speed, blades and dimensions require project confirmation.
Models to evaluate
Common questions
Can output be determined from an RT model name alone?
No. The catalog states that RT machines are made to order and that specifications are reference values. Actual output depends on material condition, cut length, feeding and acceptance criteria.
Is this a standalone machine or part of an existing line?
Either requires a discussion of the site. Provide upstream and downstream processes, material transfer, available space and required discharge arrangement to assess the configuration.
