From wood to plastics: the versatility of Salvador miter saws

Salvador Machines miter saws were born for woodworking, but because of their versatility and robustness they are also perfect for plastics and composites. Different machining operations can be tackled with a single machine, nimbly moving production from one area to another. Our cut-off machines are therefore ideal for those seeking flexibility and high performance. And for any company, whether it processes one or two materials, investing in a Salvador machine means equipping itself with a solution that is destined to last and meet ever-changing needs.

CE marking and the use of wood assimilated materials

Our mitre saws comply with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which regulates the design, construction and marketing of machinery in the European Union and requires them to be CE marked before being placed on the market. The standard defines machines for processing wood and assimilated materials, a category within which some technical plastics also fall, allowing the use of the same cutting units.

Robustness and performance

To process recycled plastics or those with a higher specific weight than wood, Salvador cut-off saws offer:

• Enhanced motors, to ensure constant torque
• Reinforced structures, capable of handling greater loads and ensuring maximum cutting precision
• Dedicated blades, selected according to the material, that ensure clean cuts and less wear over time

These features make our machines reliable solutions even in the most demanding sectors.

Applications and use cases

Salvador cut-off machines have proven their versatility in a variety of areas. In Great Britain, the subsidiary of Berry Global-a world leader in consumer and healthcare packaging-has adopted our machines to section highly complex technical plastics, taking advantage of enhanced motors and special blades. In Italy, Preco System chose us to produce street furniture in hanit, a 100 percent recycled plastic that provides strength and durability for benches, paving and outdoor structures.

These are joined by recycled plastic outdoor furniture companies, caravan and prefab manufacturers, and suppliers in the pharmaceutical sector who use our cut-off machines to cut plastic components. Several industries have found Salvador Machines to be a reliable partner for precision, robustness, and consistent results.

Recycled plastic: the future of street furniture

The recycled plastic street furniture sector is growing, thanks to demand for sustainable, low-maintenance solutions. Salvador cut-off machines allow profiles, grooves and perforations to be made in a single step, optimizing time and reducing production costs for benches, planters and city paving, among other products.

Investing in a Salvador miter saw means equipping yourself with a versatile, robust and CE-certified machine that can adapt to wood, plastics and related materials. An investment that makes it even more competitive for those who work in different sectors or who intend to explore new markets.
