cutter model KPC 80-200.

plastic foils, paper and cardboard.
The maximum thickness of plastic foils is 300 µm, while
the maximum thickness of paper and cardboard is 800
g/m

.
The cutter is designed for mounting in an enclosed pipe
system, that is, with a pipeline mounted both at the inlet
and outlet.
The cutter is designed to work with continuous vacuum
and has no pressure loss on the suction side when it is
cutting. The cutter is built to be an alternative to rotating
cutters that cuts the material into small pieces, gener-
ates a lot of dust and has a high noise level. With the
KPC cutter, the waste can be cut into longer strips, so
it is possible to bale. Furthermore, the reduced number
of cuts makes the dust created by the cutter extremely
low.
Only use the KPC cutter for cutting the materials it is
designed for, due to risk of knife destruction or damage.
Warning notes:
Avoid accidents by always following the safety instruc-
tions given in the user manual and on the safety signs
located on the cutter.
The cutter must be installed in a closed duct system,
without access to moving parts..
Any foreign objects allowed into the system, intentional-
ly or unintentionally, may eventually damage the cutter.
Lack of supervision of the cutter can result in wear
and/or damage to vital parts, see section "Service and
maintenance".
Ensure that both inlet/outlet pipes are intact and prop-
erly secured during operation.
Always disconnect electricity and compressed air to the
cutter prior to repair and maintenance.
Never do any dismounting or service to the cutting
device before disconnecting the power plug and com-
pressed air.
Never put your hand into the cutter inlet or outlet during
operation.
The cutter should be mounted in an accessible location
for maintenance. The working area around the cutter
should be clear and trip free when carrying out main-
tenance. Use gloves when working with the knifes, the
edges are sharp.
Make sure that there is adequate lighting when working
on the cutter.
In cases where is it necessary to remove material
blocking the moveable knife, compressed air and elec-
tricity must always be switched off to prevent start up
of the cutter. If removal of material in the cutter is done
while the power / air is switched on, the cutter will start
as soon as the blocking material is removed. This in-
volves great risk of personal injuries!
In case of abnormal vibrations or noise, stop the cutter
immediately and examine the cause. In case of doubt,
skilled assistance must be called in for repair and main-
tenance.
Take care that the cutter is securely installed, onto a
stable surface, a to avoid unintensional movement of
the cutter.
To avoid any unintentional contact with the moving
knife, pipes of minimum 850 mm length, with a diam-
eter of maximum Ø 200 mm must be installed onto the
inlet and outlet connections.
These pipes must be installed with bolt clamps, where
tools are necessary for dismantling.
In case it is not possible to use minimum 850 mm
tubes, it must be insured that there within minimum
850 mm from the separator are used bolt clamps,
where tools are necessary for dismantling.
The reason for this is, that according to EU-directive
2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive), it is not allowed for
any unauthorized personnel to gain access to rotating
parts. In case quick couplings are used, unautorized
personnel could dismantle the tubing, and have access
to the cutting knife.
Warning signs:
Warning signs with symbols without text are found on
the cutter. The symbols are explained below.
Read the user manual carefully and
observe the warning texts in the user
manual and on the cutter.
