The Alfa Cutter range of sample cutters is available in three variants, which together with interchangeable cutting die boards makes this a very versatile choice for preparing test samples of sheet material. Suitable for cutting paper, pulp, tissue, textile, non-woven, leather, rubber.

The three Alfa Cutter variants are designed with their own specific maximum cutting pressure and maximum cut size.

The interchangeable steel rule die boards are made to your requirements; an individual die board can have a range of different sample sizes mounted on it – enabling you to prepare samples for a range of different tests simultaneously. Square, oblong, circular, dogbone sample dies can all be supplied.

The standard die board is steel ruled mounted on a hard wood board, if extra accuracy & durability is required then a forged steel die option is available. If the your testing requirements change, simply order a new die board with a different die configuration. Calibration certificates are available for each die board, if required.

All Alfa Cutters are designed with operator safety as an essential requirement and to produce a cut sample the two “Test” buttons must be activated simultaneously. This is a 2 handed operation.

		Air operated cutter quickly prepares test samples of tissue paper, plastics, fabrics, rubber, heavy papers, cardboard and foils. The 240-7B delivers 7 tons of cutting pressure at the touch of 2 buttons. The design of the 240-7B allows for the easy loading of dies, with a maximum sample size of 254mm x 254mm (10”x10”).		Air operated cutter quickly prepares test samples of plastics, rubber, fabrics, gaskets, leather, paper stocks, etc. The 240-15B delivers 15 tons of cutting pres­sure at the touch of 2 buttons. The design of the 240-15B allows for the easy load­ing of dies, with a maximum sample size of 254mm x 559mm 10”x22”).		Capable of exerting 68 bar (1000 PSI) from the hydraulic system. It is ideal for prepar­ing larger samples from heavier sheet materials. Dual test buttons are spaced to ensure maximum operator safety. The maximum sample size is 305mm x 305mm (12” x 12”)
