The aluminum billet saw for cutting aluminum logs produced by our company is divided into two categories:

Aluminum billet single billet saw and aluminum billet multi-billets saw.

When further subdivided, it can be divided into online aluminum billet saws, offline aluminum billet saw, long billet aluminum billet saw and short billet aluminum billet saw.

The online aluminum billet saw is directly matched with the billet heating furnace or other auxiliary equipment.

After sawing the round log according to the length requirements, they are transported or stored with other equipment (billet furnace or mechanical clamp).

The offline aluminum billet saw is an aluminum billet saw that cuts round logs independently without supporting other equipment or production lines.

Sawing and bundling according to length requirements.

As the name suggests, the long billet aluminum billet saw means cutting the finished billet into a long billet.

As the name suggests, a short aluminum billet saw means cutting the finished billet into a short billet.

Introduction to various configuration accessories: (Follow the aluminum billet walking process)

1. Auxiliary unloading billet holder:

The aluminum billet is hoisted from the casting well in an upright state.

The semi-circular arc guide plate in the auxiliary billet unloading holder contacts the bottom end of the aluminum billet.

The crane descends, and the rollers assist in sliding, thereby placing the aluminum billet from the upright state to the horizontal state, and transporting it in a large shift area.

When workers use forklifts to transport aluminum billets to large shift areas, this auxiliary unloading billet holder is not needed.

2. Large shift area:

The motor reducer drives the chain to travel, and the chain travel transports the aluminum billets to the aluminum billets turning and counting area, and the automatic aluminum billets counting device places the aluminum billets in the original billets storage area to wait for loading.

3. Small shift and billet loading of raw aluminum billet:

The aluminum billets are sent to the original billets’ conveyor frame by the front and rear lifting of the oil cylinder.

​4. Raw aluminum billets feeding into the billet conveyor:

An oil motor is used to drive the sprocket chain to drive the rollers to transport the aluminum billets.

5 Aluminum billet saw:

The main motor drives the saw blade to run.

The oil cylinder drives forward and backward walking sawing.

Common knowledge points about aluminum billets saw for cutting aluminum log:

​1. Regarding the size of the saw blade: (under normal circumstances)

According to the φ80-229 aluminum billet, the saw blade is φ800.

According to φ80-254 aluminum billet, the saw blade is φ900.

According to the φ80-300 aluminum billet, the saw blade is φ1000.

According to the φ80-320 aluminum billet, the saw blade is φ1100.

Note: If there is a non-standard aluminum billet, it is φ260. We can also use 900 saw blades for design.

After analyzing the specific situation, it is correct to follow the above rules.

2. Regarding the external conditions for aluminum billets saws:

Power supply: Under normal circumstances, if the equipment is close to the upright column, the main electrical cabinet can be connected to the main electrical cabinet through the column.

The customer is responsible for the external power supply of the equipment, and our company is responsible for the wires inside the equipment.

Water source: The water used by the equipment lies in the cooling of the hydraulic station.

When there is no shortage of water abroad, water cooling is the main method. Cheaper and better than air-cooled ones.

For foreign customers, use water cooling and air cooling together. (Need to state in advance).

Air source: Mainly pipeline air, requiring an anhydrous state, otherwise the cylinder will be easily corroded.

Hydraulic oil: Hydraulic oil is 46# anti-wear and pressure-resistant. Normally 4-5 barrels of 170kg are needed.

Analyze specific situations in detail.

Tools: Our company will deliver a set of special tools and will give them to customers after installation.

However, welding machines, welding rods, gas, gas cutting tools, etc. are all provided by the customer.  

On-site installation: whether the customer makes embedded parts according to the drawings or concrete anchor.

When making embedded parts, the equipment legs are welded on top, which is stronger than the concrete anchor.

Customers with concrete anchors need to check the screws regularly.

Network: Foreign customers need to offer network cable.

Regarding the number of large shift areas: Under normal circumstances: 2 sets for 6 meters and 3 sets for 12 meters.

Foreign customers have 4-meter and 6-meter raw aluminum billets, which are also 3 sets.

Analyze specific situations in detail.

The small shift of the raw aluminum billet is adjusted according to the number of large shift.
