EZ Clean solutions to minimize downtime and increase speeds
Material Movement Overview
A comprehensive suite of products engineered to minimize equipment damage and increase your efficiency.
Typically, for Metal to Metal applications, a finished die cut product moves with the liner. Without a material movement solution, the waste moves up the matrix and can potentially cause buildup and, ultimately, equipment damage. RotoMetrics innovated custom die solutions that remove cut-outs from the substrate or carrier based on your unique specifications.
We offer three types of material movement solutions that each provide unique benefits to your die cutting process:
- Air: Compressed air blows away waste or die cut parts from your die
- Vacuum: Picks up waste from the web and pulls it through your die journal
- Pin: Pin Eject pushes pieces away from the die
RD Vacuum Boxes Specs – More efficient converting and prevents waste particle buildup
- Captures pieces of waste blown out of your web
- Easily attaches to your press
- Prevents waste particles from collecting on anvil roll or in gears, thus minimizing your downtime
MultiPort Air Eject Specs – Targeted air blast for a precise and controlled solution
- Uses compressed air and/or vacuum to optimize the removal of material
- Can concentrate air/vacuum at a specific row of cavities cutting
- Can angle target blast of air/vacuum for most precise directional blast
- Can be used with a combination of compressed air and vacuum to select a die cut from the cavity and release it later in the die’s rotation
Focused Air and Air Eject Specs – The power of compressed air prevents equipment damage
- Prevents damage or buildup in a variety of Metal to Metal cutting applications
- Custom calibrated to ensure optimum airflow
- Proprietary air probe aims airflow at a specific row of cavities
Vacuum Dies – The cleanest way to remove waste from the web
- Specifically designed to vacuum small pieces from the web
- Interchangeable punch, lock tight and engraved options
- Minimizes downtime
Pin Eject Dies – Proven and highly efficient way to eject parts, slugs, byproducts or waste
- Assists in removal of materials from the web using built-in compression system
- Ideal in high speed, high volume converting applications
- Prevents buildup of small die cut slugs
- Pin Switch Eject Dies can replace pins on site
