Guillotines
The James Brinkley Company guillotine roll splitters have three basic features:
Rugged for heavy duty applications
Easy to Maintain
Adaptable to different types of service
Safety Features included on all Roll Splitters:
Two hand operation is included at valve and pushbutton stations
The guillotine hydraulic system is configured to prevent accidental lowering of the guillotine cross head under normal and emergency conditions
The manual operating valve is spring centered so that unless operated, the cross head will not move. This valve is plugged and provided with a check valve so that flow only moves if the handle is moved, even without hydraulic power
A redundant safety feature is also provided in the hydraulic system. At the bottom port on each cylinder a counterbalance valve is hard piped to the cylinder port. This valve only opens if system hydraulic pressure is available. If the motor is shut off, or a hydraulic line breaks, the counterbalance valve closes and the cylinder is locked in place
Hydraulic valve operator stations are provided with enclosures to prevent pressurized hydraulic fluid from escaping
A robust knife guard consisting of chain suspended UHMW tubes with heavy steel tube cores is suspended by chain from the cross head to prevent accidental contact with the knife
Lift, tilt and lift and tilt tables are provided with rubber belt toe guards to brush back feet and prevent crushing, and flow fuses to prevent excessive descent speed in case of hydraulic valve or line failure
Conveyors and ramps include side rails and panels at half height of rolls to prevent rolls from escaping
James Brinkley Company guillotines are easier to maintain. Hydraulic cylinders are located on the outside of the unit and easily accessible. Since the cylinders are the main operating pieces of the guillotine, this is important. We use readily available, nationally recognized, hydraulic components or we will use mill standard if needed. All guillotine roll splitter systems come with their own hydraulic power pack and are shop tested prior to shipment. Roll splitters are shipped complete and are simple and very easy to start up.
Optional Accessories:
Through belt conveyors with forward and reverse controls to allow guillotining slabs to lessen pulper loads
Roll lifts to load belt conveyors from the floor
Roll lift and tilt tables to load and directly discharge to pulper
Portable roll splitters
Dump buckets to allow roll handling with lift trucks
