Cutting machines
Metzner KL-BV
Designed to accurately cut silicone or elastic material.

Precision Cutting for Sensitive Materials
The Metzner KL-BV is a precision cutting machine designed for delicate, pressure-sensitive and elastic materials such as medical tubing, silicone hoses, flexible profiles and gaskets. With an ultra-thin angled blade, and adjustable feed speed and contact pressure, KL-BV offers clean and deformation-free cuts. Ideal for demanding production and cleanroom applications.
- Maximise productivityFeedrate of 60 metres per minute, with a cut rate of 330 cuts per minute
- Minimise waste & reworkRepeat accuracy within ±1 mm + 0.2% of the cut length
- Reduce material damageMinimal material stress due to precise pressure control and long belt feed
- Repeatable resultsAbility to cut strechy or elastic material accurately with high quality results
- Operator friendlyIntuitive touch screen controls and PLC integration simplify complex tasks and training even for less experienced operators
- Ensured safetyDesigned and built to meet applicable European and UK safety standards

Dereelers
Passive and active dereelers feed materials smoothly for consistent, precise cutting performance.
Flexible
Prefeeders
Work with dereelers to maintain a tension-free loop for precise, repeatable cutting.
Flexible
Loop Control
Control your feed rate digitally, to supply a tension-free product flow into the cutting machine.
