DEVICE FOR SEPARATING INDIVIDUAL PIECES FROM A CONTINUOUSLY DISPLACED STRAND OF MATERIAL

摘要

An apparatus for cutting individual pieces from an extruded strand fed at a constant velocity (v0) has two cutting blades, which are disposed on disks and rotate in circular paths. In order to align the cutting blades perpendicular to the feed direction of the extruded strand, the blade supports holding the cutting blades are coupled to each other by means of guide rods. The guide rods simultaneously constitute the rotation axes of deflection rolls of a conveyor belt transporting the extruded strand.
