Recently, we have been experiencing an increasing demand for solutions for the optimized cutting of plastic profiles<\/a><\/strong> and composite materials. What initially was a curiosity of a few customers has now become a stable trend: we regularly test the processing of pipes, panels, and plastic profiles directly on the machines at our headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason is clear. The characteristics of robustness<\/strong>, precision<\/strong>, and versatility<\/strong> that make Salvador cross-cut saws a benchmark for woodworking are also suitable for other materials. In practice, our machines open up new production opportunities <\/strong>without the need to invest in dedicated systems, allowing you to rely on our long experience in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technical challenge of plastics<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we talk about \u201cplastic,\u201d we are actually referring to a very wide range of materials with different behaviors during cutting<\/strong>. Some react similarly to wood, generating a residue comparable to sawdust. Others, however, tend to heat up and melt at the cutting point, producing filaments and residues that could complicate the machining flow.

This is why every test<\/strong> is crucial. Only by testing the material can we identify the most suitable blade<\/strong>, the correct speed<\/strong>, any measures needed to cool <\/strong>the semi-finished product, or specific unloading methods. Our experience with wood is complemented by constant research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salvador machines for plastics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Salvador range was created for wood, but the solidity of its structure and attention to construction details allow it to handle plastic as well. A concrete example is the Superpush 200<\/a><\/strong>, particularly suitable for pipes, whether solid or hollow, thanks to its inclined loading<\/strong> and unloading surface that keeps them in position during processing.

It is possible to work on both individual pieces and multiple pipes placed side by side<\/strong>. This versatility makes the machine an attractive solution for those who work with multiple types of materials and want to optimize cutting<\/strong>, machines<\/strong>, space<\/strong>, and therefore costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accurate: when the finish is crucial<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, the challenge is not so much cutting as ensuring a flawless finish<\/strong>. This is where Accurate<\/strong> comes in, a configuration available on Superpush 200 and 250, designed for finished or delicate materials: PVC for window frames, coated panels, exposed plastic components.

Thanks to scratch-resistant surfaces, dedicated blades, and optimized drive systems, Accurate allows you to work without risking damage to surfaces or edges. This detail translates into competitive value, because it reduces rework and waste.
