Guillotines, sheeters and slitters

The American-based AZCO Corp is a manufacturer of easy to use and reliable modules for feeding, cutting, inserting and dispensing. Seamlessly integrating their units into an existing converting or packaging line can increase production speed and reduce downtime, which ultimately saves time and money.

Their feeding and cutting units for flexible material include cut-to-length knife assemblies, guillotine knife assemblies, punches, rotary cutters, sheeters, slitters, and unwinds.

The modular guillotine knife assembly is ready to install as stand-alone or in-line units. The units can be mounted in any position for convenient operation. They cut a wide variety of flexible materials such as film, foam rubber, foil, hook and loop, light gauge metals (.25mm/01 in.), non-wovens, paper, ribbon cables, and many others.

The small SUR-CUT knife assemblies are widely used for cutting various strips of flexible materials. The open frame design gives easy access to the material and mounting holes allow for quick installation.
