Industrial plastics processing

Product solutions for precise and automated plastic processing

When processing plastics on an industrial scale, the materials sensitivity to frictional heat is a real challenge. The saw band may stick, cut edges may smear, and burr formation results in additional rework in series production. With precisely coordinated cutting parameters such as speed, tooth pitch, and cooling, WINTERSTEIGER products offer a solution optimized to the material. Clean, burr-free cuts and automated work processes particularly impress in the industrial processing of plastics.

WINTERSTEIGER's advantages

For plastics processing

Burr-free cut edges, reduced rework, stable process workflows for different types of plastic

For automotive manufacturers

Precise processing of technical plastic components, reproducible quality products, efficient series production

For the construction industry

Clean cut edges in profiles and panels, cost-effective processing, high process reliability

WINTERSTEIGER solutions for plastics processing

Depending on the material type, plastics react very differently to cutting speed, tooth pitch, and temperature. That is why WINTERSTEIGER combines modern band saw technology from Heermann Maschinenbau (HEMA) with automated process control to enable both burr-free cuts and stable processes in industrial series production.

The result? Clean cut edges and efficient processing of materials such as technical plastics, polymer structures, or extruded profiles.

Precise cutting of plastics

The band saw technology from HEMA guarantees material-friendly cutting of plastics. Perfectly balanced cutting parameters ensure high-quality results without fusing or smearing.
