Blade cutting device

for the food industrylaboratory

The cutting device is designed for Brabender single- and twin-screw extruders and thus for laboratory operation. It can be used, for example, to trim snack or feed extrudates to a specified length after they exit the die. The gap between the cutting knives and the die can be precisely adjusted with just one handle. The new blade geometry now consists of a blade holder that can be optionally equipped with 4 or 8 blades, depending on the application and the desired cutting frequency. When using 4 blades, 4,500 cuts per minute can be achieved, with 8 blades 9,000 cuts (1125 rpm per blade).
