Plastic Ancillary Equipment
Hydraulic Guillotine Cutter
A hydraulic guillotine cutter drives a single wide blade through material that no shredder should ever swallow whole — rubber bales, plastic purge cakes, compressed fiber bales, and full film rolls.

How It Works
A practical four-step process focused on stable operation and consistent output.
Position feedstock
Place the bale, lump, or roll on the feed table and push it to the cutting position.
Clamp down
A hydraulic hold-down clamp secures the bale to prevent shifting during cutting.
Blade stroke
The cylinder drives the blade through the material at high force (40–160 tonnes).
Index and repeat
The blade retracts, the material indexes forward, and the cycle repeats.
Why Pre-Cutting Beats Force-Feeding
Protects the Shredder
Pre-cutting dense bales removes shock loads that damage rotors and blades.
Stable Line Throughput
Uniform blocks keep the shredder at a steady amp draw for higher efficiency.
Versatile Material Handling
Cuts rubber bales, purge lumps, carpet rolls, film rolls, and pipes.
Common Problems Solved
Compressed rubber or fiber bales stall the shredder and crack blades.
Pre-cut the bale into blocks sized to fit the shredder hopper.
Solid start-up lumps are too thick for rotating cutters to grip.
A guillotine drives straight through without needing to grip.
Continuous roll stock wraps around rotors and causes wrapping jams.
Cutting rolls into segments removes the continuous web.
Operators use saws or torches, which is slow and unsafe.
Our guarded cutting chamber replaces manual cutting with a fast automatic cycle.
Applications
Rubber Bales and Blocks
Natural and synthetic rubber bales sliced for feeding to shredders or mills.
Plastic Purge and Lump Material
Extruder purge cakes and solidified polymer blocks cut into accepted pieces.
Film, Nonwoven, and Carpet Rolls
Full rolls and reel ends segmented before shredding to prevent wrapping.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydraulic guillotine cutter used for?
It pre-cuts material that is too large, dense, or elastic for a shredder — like rubber bales, purge lumps, and rolls.
Can it cut large extrusion purge lumps?
Yes, solid PE, PP, PA, and ABS lumps are sliced cleanly into shredder-ready blocks.
