Solution
◆ Cut is not square.
The blade speed is too
low.
Low blade speeds can cause
excessive blade interruption.
Increase blade speed or
decrease the blade cut path
area.
The blade is misaligned.
Check that blade is 90 degrees
relative to the bushing holder.
The cutter bushings are
not properly gapped.
If the cutter bushings are not
properly gapped, the blade
may be free to move with the
extrudate. Check and adjust if
necessary. See Appendix A.
The knife bevel is not
symmetric.
If the knife bevel is asymmetric, the blade will tend to move
in the direction of the smaller
bevel. Be sure that the bevel is
symmetric. NOTE: You can
use this to your advantage with
some rigid products.
For rigid products the
puller is too close to the
cutter.
There must be enough space
between the puller and cutter
to allow for extrudate stoppage
that occurs during cutting.
Allow enough space so no cut
shock is detectable at the input
to the belt puller with your fingernail.
