Produce roller shutter boxes from EPS and Neopor

1. Bring blocks to size

Before the actual profile production, EPS and Neopor blocks are cut to the required starting length.

The GT1313S hot wire cut-to-length machine is intended for this. The block is positioned on roller conveyors and separated to length with a vertically guided cutting wire.

2. Cut the roller shutter box profiles

The actual roller shutter box profiles are then cut from the prepared EPS or Neopor blocks.

Our main solution for this is the CUT5000S series. With several cutting wires, several identical profiles can be produced at the same time – ideal for recurring series production and high quantities.

The CUT4000S series is the alternative solution for this production step.

3. Cut box profiles to finished length

The PA series was developed specifically for the automated cutting to length of finished roller shutter box profiles.

Different finished lengths within one order can be processed automatically one after another. Depending on the version, tongue-and-groove cuts are also possible.

4. Mill plastic inserts and end caps

At the end faces of the roller shutter boxes, plastic inserts or end caps are fitted. Among other things, these components hold the bearings for the shutter curtain.

In the past, such parts were often bought in as PVC injection-moulded parts. Today, many manufacturers produce these components themselves on a CNC router.

This makes it possible to produce different box sizes and versions flexibly, without needing a dedicated injection mould for each variant.

5. Shred residual material

During the production of roller shutter box profiles, block remnants, profile offcuts and further EPS and Neopor offcuts occur.

With the SHD2000S recycling station, these offcuts can be shredded directly and the volume of the residual material significantly reduced.
