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
