Steel-to-steel glue tab cutting systems utilize an expensive glue tab knife that must be precisely adjusted in order to avoid excessive loading on the steel anvil ring. Improper setting results in premature wear on glue tab cutting components, shortens the life of bearings, and can cause integral damage to the machine.
Sauer System offers a soft anvil system that replaces the steel-to-steel system, utilizing an inexpensive notched glue tab knife and a polyurethane anvil cover.
Maintaining the system is quick and easy.
The only maintenance required is replacing tab knives, anvil covers, and pinch blades when required. The replacement cost of these items is far less than comparable steel-to-steel system components.
