Roll splitters
A new line of paper roll splitters is now available from Advanced Dynamics. Built of heavy, welded steel sections, these units are able to cut through rolls as large as 60-in. in diameter and 140-in. long. Because of the rigidity of the unit, rolls may be completely offset from the splitter center line and the blade will remain parallel to the anvil. Advanced Dynamics |
