Berry Global approached Daltons Wadkin for a crosscutting solution to help boost productivity, reduce waste and improve operator safety in the production of their range of recycled plastic picnic benches, outdoor seating and other garden furniture products. Having worked with similar material before, Sales Director, Andy Walsh, had no hesitation in recommending a Salvador. “The SuperAngle 600 is a highly versatile programmable crosscut saw capable of working with a range of materials including plastic wood. We are receiving a growing number of enquiries from customers with similar applications and the Salvador has proved highly effective.”

The Salvador SuperAngle 600 is capable of crosscutting material at any angle between +/- 75 degrees. In-feed capacity, loading and unloading options can be configured to suit individual applications. Berry bpi specified a left to right working orientation with automatic in-feed chain loading, 120m/min pusher speed and automatic out-feed collection area to ensure continuous uninterrupted production with minimal operator input. As with all Salvador crosscuts, the SuperAngle 600 features cutting list optimisation as standard, reducing any waste to absolute minimum.
