DOX Knife Dust Removal

Dust Removal Device For Circular Knives

The rotary knives upon longitudinal cutting usually create a large amount of dust. This dusting interferes with quality standards upon the transformation of paper and board. A large amount of dust is, for example,  created  in a sheeter by the longitudinal cut. The dust removal device for rotary knives was developed for rewinders, sheeters, paper machine edge cutting, slitters, etc. in order to increase quality standards by removing the dust created by the cutting operation.
