Confectionery cutting system for accurate results

Achieve precision and flexibility in modern confectionery production with cutting-edge technology that ensures synchronized cuts and high-speed operation, even with the stickiest materials.

Synchronizes and Cuts with Precision and Speed

The cutting systems from Extrugroup are engineered to elevate your production line by providing unparalleled reliability and precision. These high-speed guillotine cutters excel in synchronizing knife travel with belt speed, ensuring clean, vertical cuts for chewy candies, gummy bears, pet treats, and plastic sheets. Capable of reaching up to 500 cuts per minute, these machines are ideal for confectionery and plastic applications requiring continuous, high-speed operation. The multiple axis control system allows for flexibility in cutting diverse product lengths, enhancing the efficiency of your processing and final conditioning departments.

Extrugroup’s guillotine cutters can be customized with ultrasonic devices for tackling sticky products, a feature that significantly improves product release while maintaining the integrity of each cut. This added functionality, albeit with a reduction in maximum cuts per minute, provides a sought-after solution for many challenging cutting scenarios.

Constructed for ease of cleaning and maintenance, these cutters support your team in minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. With robust integration potential into existing extrusion equipment, they enable seamless automation across your production line. Whether in stainless steel or specialized materials for enhanced corrosion resistance, Extrugroup offers tailored solutions to fit unique processing requirements, backed by comprehensive engineering support.
