Cost-efficient and flexible hollow core saws

The new Elematic precast hollow core saw family is a safe, clean, and reliable bunch. This new portfolio of innovative saws proves that the global shortage of components does not have to lead to delayed shipments and skyrocketing prices.

Modularity saves costs

Elematic’s three new saws, Saw E9, Saw P7, and Sawpreparer S5, are all made of modules built around the same frame and operating system.

“By having premanufactured modules and components on the shelf, delivery times can be significantly reduced,” assures Jani Eilola, Product Director, Floor Technologies at Elematic. “This way Elematic can also keep sales prices of the high-quality saws at a reasonable level, despite the global rise in material prices and general difficulties with getting components”.

“The modular system adds flexibility, as different versions for different needs can be built with the same modules,” he adds.

Fit for low halls

The height of the three new saws has been reduced to 2560 mm, so they can now fit into lower factory halls than earlier models. As the saw is among the tallest machines in a hollow core line, this is something that many have wished for.

“Often, we need to fit a hollow core line into an existing production hall that was not built for the purpose.,” Eilola says.

Saw E9: safer and better than ever

Together, the three new saw models cover the needs of different types of hollow core manufacturers well.

The “Mercedes of Elematic saws”, Saw E9, utilizes cutting-edge technology for a safer, cleaner, and smarter automated hollow core operation.

“Our flagship Saw E9 gets data from the production planning system by using a laser positioning system. So, you just lift the saw to the start of the bed, download the data, and push a button. Then it operates completely automatically until the end of the bed,” notes Eilola.

He also highlights the new safety radars and improved intelligent cutting speed control.

Fully automatic cutting
Dust reduction (HEPA 13)
Telescopic blade cover for added safety (blocking shooting diamond cutting pieces and noise)
Intelligent cutting speed control
New:
- New blade movement and drive mechanisms for easier maintenance
- Simpler and more reliable mechanisms
- Reduced height to 2560 mm: can fit in lower production halls
- Updated control system with an intuitive user interface and improved cutting control and programs

Update Saw P7 as you go

“If slab data are not available in an electronic format, or you for some reason don’t want to operate automatically, then P7 is the saw for you,” Eilola says.

This semi-automatic saw can keep up with medium to high-capacity lines and now comes with the telescopic blade cover safety feature as a standard.

In addition, there is a whole list of properties that are now available for Saw P7, among them the highly efficient HEPA 13 dust and silica filter.

You can decide whether you want the saw to be controlled via the default radio and a touch screen placed on the side (like in the E9) or whether you prefer that the operator sits on the saw and steers it from there. Either way, the control system has been updated, so it works better together with other Elematic equipment and has an intuitive user interface.

Regardless of what options you choose, the modular concept makes it easy to add new features along the way.

“If you buy Saw P7 because you don’t have the electronic slab data available, it’s not a problem, if you in the future will have the data. We can then install the automation package, which will basically transform it into Saw E9,” Eilola reveals.

Sawpreparer for 500mm slabs

Sawpreparer S5 takes care of both sawing, cleaning, and strandpulling and is the right choice for low to medium capacity production of high-quality slabs with low investment costs.

“You can cut the slabs and prepare the beds with the same machine. It is significantly less expensive than applying a saw and a preparer. If you have a reduced amount for investment and capacity needs between 35,000 and 150,000 m2, it might well be sufficient for you,” notes Eilola.

Thanks to its reduced height, the now 2560mm tall machine fits into even more factory halls.

Earlier versions of Sawprepar S5 could cut slabs of a maximum of 400mm.

As a novelty, it can now cut slabs up to 500mm!
