Overview
The Metzner KL-BV is an automatic universal cutting machine designed for precise and efficient processing of hoses and elastic materials. It is particularly effective for cutting highly elastic hoses, cords, and sealing products, including challenging materials like silicone tubes used in the medical industry.

Scope of Application
The machine excels in cutting hoses, cords, and other round elastic materials with high accuracy in both length and repetition. It is especially suitable for difficult materials such as silicone tubes.

Main Features and Advantages

• The long belt drive and adjustable, centric belt pressure system ensure slip-free material feed and smooth handling.
• Standard tube cut technology with an extremely thin blade provides superior cutting quality, even for very soft and elastic hoses.
• High-performance pneumatic elements enable a cutting performance of up to 360 cuts per minute.
• The 5.7” touch screen display with a multilingual user interface makes operation easy and intuitive.
• Up to 100 recurring processing routines can be saved and accessed with a button press.

Expansion Possibilities
The KL-BV can be expanded with various Metzner peripheral units, such as de-reelers, feeding units, loop controls, and take-off conveyors, to form a complete production line. An optional servo drive can increase feeding speeds up to 120 m/min.
