The hydraulic cutting machine is designed for bevel or through-cutting of components (HRC 60° hardened and ground steel plate), with a force of 12 to 70 tons. The HSC machine with a 100 CUT/MINUTE cut (10mm over a distance of 20mm), easy to use with precise and fast feed (precision: ‡0.2mm, speed: 1.5 meter/sec), low power consumption (hydraulic system). Solid construction (heavy-duty frame), central mechanics set parallel by +0.01 mm, maximum noise reduction with our electronic cutting machine (multi-strip laminator)
Julie Abballe-Dorey, Head Office at DCS
"We're delighted to be taking part in this year's Foam Expo Europe, as it gives us the opportunity to showcase the innovative expertise of our partner companies. It's an opportunity for us to present to Europe what we consider to be the best machines for sale on the market."
The HSC is a large-diameter, single-cylinder, hydraulic, rapid-cutting press with a useful cutting surface from 300 x 300 to 600 x 600 and 4 manual or motorized mechanical stops at +/-0.01 mm. The HSC machine complies with C.E. standards, and has full cutting capacity on logs or half-logs, with a touch-screen control panel in French. The hydraulic cutting press has a cutting stroke of 110mm and a quick change of cutting tool, with a protective casing and/or class 4 photocells.
Long block splitting and winding machine in narrow space H36
The Movable Splitting Machine H 36 is used to split long blocks into thin sheets which are being wound up to a roll where space is limited. The H 36 machine with movable cutting unit, allows to save approx. 50% of the space compared to a machine with a movable long block. The processing of these roll goods is mainly done in the mattress-, packing, shoe and in the automotive industry. This machine type is very popular in Asia and in South America also as is an alternative to an expensive looper, however with a lower investment budget.
Francis Pinckers, Vice President at Fecken-Kirfel GmbH & Co. KG
"Foam Expo Europe has become a main trade show. Year after year we meet more customers, converters or manufacturers of PU, PE, EVA, (cellular) rubber, etc. as exhibitors or visitors. This is the right place to be. It covers our full industry and the full portfolio of the Fecken-Kirfel cutting equipment."
Movable Splitting
Machine H 36
This machine type has been developed mainly by Asian machine manufacturer but without respecting the European or American safety regulations. For this reason Fecken-Kirfel decided recently to develop such a machine as well but considering all the necessary norms and safety regulations to be able to use this machine in the European Union and in the US. Criteria of efficiency and safety: Restriction of space availability (height and length), EU standard with CE admission (safety devices: guards, light barriers), One man-operation and Cutting accuracy of +/- 0,1 - 0,3 mm depending on the properties of the material.

CONTOUR
V-blade
The new generation of contour cutting with improved technology in a modern and functional design.Vertical contour cutting machine with knife for converting sheets and block material. The Contour V-blade consists of a stationary cutting unit with a 360° knife turning unit. It includes an integrated knife guiding and a reversing belt system. The service oriented design offers information on the machine and order status any time.
Fast
Recycle
FastRecycle is an advanced foam recycling system engineered to transform polyethylene and polypropylene foam waste into pellets. This efficient and straightforward process operates by crushing and melting foam within an integrated extruder, offering an eco-friendly sustainable recycling solution for enterprises aiming to recycle and engage in the circular economy. FastRecycle, in addition, offers a financial advantage. While most of our partners currently incur costs for waste disposal, FastRecycle enables to transform this expense into revenue by facilitating the sale of the reprocessed granules. Moreover, it streamlines factory operations by eliminating the need to store bulky waste, optimising valuable space.
