Dry-End Tail Cutter

Jet-X™ 2000 Water-Jet Dry-End Tail Cutter

Traditional mechanical tail cutters typically use rotary saws or fixed blades. With the blade in direct contact with the sheet, oscillations become their greatest enemy, making them difficult to operate on fast, higher-oscillation machines.

A mechanical tail cutter requires a well-dried sheet to cut without ripping it, which creates delays before thread-up after a cold start. The blades need to be replaced often, especially on more abrasive papers. Blades and saws are not recommended for fast machines, where the combination of a dulling blade and sheet oscillation can lead to sheet breaks when threading up. Finally, the blades and saws’ cut quality tends to be bad when the sheet flutters.

The Jet-X™ 2000 is an automated, single-cut high-pressure water-jet dry-end tail cutter with precise tail width capability for pulp and paper grades.

  • The compact design fits most dryer pockets
  • Patented cutting head with an air ejector ensures positive sheet support
  • Motor drive can be located on the tending or drive side
Cutting on the Last Top Dryer Cylinder
  • The last top dryer provides consistent full-sheet support for reliable threading
  • Keeps the dryer pockets open, and for ropeless threading
  • Will not cause the sheet to break toward the upstream side

Features | Dry-End Tail Cutter

  • Slide-out feature of a “beam within a beam” is standard
  • Automatic tail cutting with pre-programmed tail widths
  • Variable frequency drive with a cooled encoder for speed and positioning control
  • High-pressure capability to cut all grades cleanly with minimal water
  • Stainless steel construction
  • Diamond cutting nozzles for reliable jets and long-life
  • Back-up nozzle is standard

Advantages

  • The inner beam is designed to slide out, providing easy access to inner components for maintenance
  • Provides consistent dust-free cutting
  • Switch between nozzles instantly without any lock-out time required
  • High-pressure hoses are air-cooled to ensure reliability and extend service life
  • Multiple preset tail widths are easily operator-programmable
  • Cutting is not affected by the speed, thickness, moisture content, tension, or oscillation of the sheet, thus allowing for a shorter wait time during startup and threading
  • Drive components are enclosed to protect against contamination

Dry-End Tail Cutter

Jet-X™ 4000 Water-Jet Dry-End Tail Cutter

Traditional mechanical tail cutters typically use rotary saws or fixed blades. With the blade in direct contact with the sheet, oscillations become their greatest enemy, making them difficult to operate on fast, higher-oscillation machines.

A mechanical tail cutter requires a well-dried sheet to cut without ripping it, which creates delays before thread-up after a cold start. The blades need to be replaced often, especially on more abrasive papers. Blades and saws are not recommended for fast machines, where the combination of a dulling blade and sheet oscillation can lead to sheet breaks when threading up. Finally, the blades and saws’ cut quality tends to be bad when the sheet flutters.

The Jet-X™ 4000 is an automated, dual-cut high-pressure water-jet dry-end tail cutter providing precise tail width and positioning capability for pulp and paper grades. The process initiates with the tail being moved quickly away from the tending side edge for optimal threading while progressively widening to take the draws. The sheet can be widened from the center, subsequently resulting in symmetrical reel spool starts.
