1 Equipment Introduction
The twin-screw frame wire-cutter is a wire-cutting device driven by two synchronized ball screws, moving the cutting frame vertically to slice wet clay, shale or coal-gangue bricks to exact length.
2 Application in Clay Brick Plant
Positioned downstream of the extruder, it converts the continuous clay column into uniform brick blanks before stacking, drying and firing.
3 Function
The high-rigidity twin-screw drive ensures all cutting wires move simultaneously at identical speed and position, giving synchronous, distortion-free cuts.
4. Comparison with Synchronous Cutter
Item | Twin-Screw Frame | Synchronous Cutter |
Drive | Mechanical twin screws | Servo motor + linkage |
Wire qty | Up to 20 wires, single break replaceable | Usually fixed set |
Wire-break protection | Single break continues running | Requires full stop |
Maintenance | Modular quick change | Complex linkage adjustment |
5 Cutting Advantages
• If one wire breaks, the rest keep working-non-stop production;
• Cutting accuracy ≤ ±1 mm with clean edges;
• Modular frame allows full wire set change in 10 min;
• Wear-resistant screws last ≥30,000 h maintenance-free.
6 Key Specifications
• Max cutting width: 1,200 mm
• Cutting frequency: 15-45 cuts/min (VFD adjustable)
• Installed power: 11 kW
• Brick types: solid, perforated, hollow and pavers
