TOW CUTTING

DM&E began its involvement with staple fiber processing in 1974.  We began by repairing and restoring radial blade cutters and components. Since then we have become the world’s standard for radial blade tow cutters.   We continue to manufacture, repair, modify and restore cutters, cutter reels and associated equipment for all major fiber producers throughout the world.  Our process experience assures that your DM&E equipment will efficiently produce the best staple fiber.

DM&E builds the best Tow Cutters. Tow cutters are used to cut synthetic fiber into discrete lengths for subsequent processing.  Cut lengths from 1/8” [3mm] to 7.5” [190mm] are readily accomplished.  All of the DM&E cutters are radial blade tow cutters and are carefully configured to match the customer's needs. Many options are available to create a custom engineered unit to satisfy even special requirements.  With capacities of 500Lbs [250kg] to over 52,000Lbs [23,600kg] per hour, DM&E has a cutter for your staple fiber.

Mk4 Tension Stand

  TENSION STANDS

Tension Stands are critical to the production of  uniformly cut staple fiber.  Correct tension prior to cutting assures that the fiber is presented to the cutter properly. Tension stands are matched to the cutter and to the overall process.  Upstream tension, fiber characteristics and cut length are considered when specifying a tension stand.
