Specialty Design was able to offer a cost-effective solution...

 

Solution:  We designed and built a press that cut the handles from the tree at a rate of 32 pieces per cycle at a 12 second cycle time.  The unit utilized the following features:

• Commercial base frame
• Pneumatic press
• Custom die
• Chain feed with WHMW nests
• On-demand feed cycle
