Active Dual-Side Trimming Station

In the pursuit of the perfect tile, the edge is where the battle is won or lost. Standard extruders rely on static cheek plates that create friction, drag, and inherent edge weakness. Our solution? The active dual-side trimming station.

The moment the concrete ribbon leaves the mouthpiece is the most critical stage of the forming process. Our dual side-trimming stations provide the surgical precision required to define the longitudinal edges without the destructive friction of traditional plates. By actively managing the material boundary, we ensure a high-density, flawless edge that remains structurally sound from the extruder to the roof.

Driven Cutting: Our knives are synchronized to the ribbon speed, ensuring a surgically clean cut even at speeds exceeding 150 TPM.

Angled Finishing: The specific geometry of our knife positioning ensures that the longitudinal sides of the ribbon are not just cut, but burnished to a high-density finish, essential for the high-end surface requirements of tiles.

Hardened Reliability: We use aerospace-grade hardened steel for our circular knives, specifically treated to resist the abrasive nature of wet concrete, reducing the need for frequent blade changes.

At WELSCH, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all extrusion. Our active dual-side trimming station gives you the mechanical power to adjust the geometry of your ribbon to the millimeter. This level of control ensures that your first-mover product arrives at the packaging station with flawless edges, every single cycle. We don't just shape the concrete; we define the structural and aesthetic boundaries of your brand.
