Automatic Filter Bag Cutting Machine – For Cuffs, Discs &Reinforcement Layers
Game-Changer for Filter Bag Production:
How Our Smart Cutting System Replaces 6 Operators with 1 – And Delivers Up to 1.2 Million Bags/Year
In the industrial filtration industry, where precision, productivity, and consistency define your market competitiveness, outdated cutting methods are quietly draining your resources.
Most factories still rely on a combination of manual template marking, scissor cutting, disc punching, and die pressing — distributed across 3–4 workstations, requiring at least 6 full-time operators per shift. These processes not only slow you down but introduce variability and material waste, directly impacting filter bag quality.
Enter the Smart Cutting System — the industry’s most advanced, all-in-one solution for automated cutting of cuffs, bottom discs, reinforcement layers, and felt strips.
🔧 From Manual Chaos to Digital Precision
Instead of juggling multiple stations and relying on manual measurement and operator skill, this system consolidates every function into one automated unit, operated by a single person.
It cuts:
-
Cuffs (top collar fabric)
-
Bottom discs (round base)
-
Reinforcement layers (rectangular strengthening patches)
-
Felt strips (for profile taping or structural inserts)
-
Liquid filter bag components (including PP collar types)
Supported Materials:
-
Needle-punched felt
-
Fiberglass fabrics
-
Hybrid fiberglass + PTFE or PPS composites
-
Aramid, PPS, PTFE, polyester, polypropylene & blends
Supported Shapes:
Any 2D shape including rectangles, circles, ovals, notches — all defined via DXF import or touchscreen configuration. No physical dies required.
🧠 Patented Smart Nesting Software — Boost Material Yield to 90%
One of the most powerful innovations is our patented smart nesting software. It automatically optimizes the layout of different parts (cuffs, discs, layers) across the material surface. This intelligent nesting:
-
Maximizes roll usage (up to 90% utilization)
-
Reduces fabric waste and cost
-
Speeds up the switch from one layout to another — no setup delay
-
Handles mixed-size production with ease
⚙️ Real-World Cutting Example:
Mixed Cutting of PTFE-Laminated Fiberglass Filter Material
-
Shapes cut per run:
• 18 pcs of Ø100mm discs
• 18 pcs of Ø150mm discs
• 24 pcs of 585×150mm cuffs -
Material: 75gsm PTFE-laminated fiberglass needle felt
-
Total cycle time: 110 seconds per batch
-
Material nesting yield: >88%
-
Each filter bag requires: 2 discs + 1 cuff
With this performance benchmark, one smart cutter can reliably handle cutting components for up to 1.2 million bags per year, supporting your full sewing line capacity with ease.
