The trimming station is used to trim a metal strip on both sides when manufacturing composite pipes. This is necessary to remove oxide layers from the material edges.
The strip is pulled through the trimming station by a downstream drive, thereby driving the cutting rollers. The height and spacing of the cutting rollers can be adjusted according to the belt thickness and the required belt width.
In order to reduce material costs, our trimming station cuts the tape on both sides by 0.8 mm, depending on the material and material thickness. These thin edge strips result in very little material waste.
