ADESCOR Inc, Canada, has developed a plastic fittings saw for diameters from 450 to 1,800mm and upwards. The machine features a vertical reciprocating motion with a 200mm wide blade and a guide that follows the contour of the pipe, providing extra stability. Large diameter saw and scrap slab cutter

The saw blade head arrangement is mounted onto a right and left pivoting head that moves into a clamped pipe. The saw also features a laser projected light for the pipe, which is clamped to a bed and allows for linear blade to pipe alignment movement. Adescor has also unveiled a new semi- automatic slab cutter that cuts large diameter misformed pipe into strips for feeding into a grinder. This new machine takes a 2m length of corrugated pipe and cuts it longitudinally into 300mm wide strips.

The operator rolls the 2m section of pipe into the slab cutter, which activates the safety light barrier and the slab cutter cuts a section of pipe, ejects the cut slab, rotates the pipe for the next cut to be made, and continues the process until the pipe is cut up. This machine is small, compact and can be easily stored when not required. It provides an effective way of handling the recycling of scrap pipe and helps to reduce

health and safety issues. Adescor Inc – Canada Fax : +1 519 520 8614 Email : sales@adescor.com Website : www.adescor.com

manufacturers that require a high degree of flexibility. The sawing heads are highly adjustable and can be used for any standard designs as well as more complicated cutting. The main advantage is that one bench with 4,000mm of length is connected with a second bench of 2,500mm in an ‘L’ shape. This means that
