Automatic Filter Bag Cutting Machine – For Cuffs, Discs ,Reinforcement Layers and felt strips

Advanced automated cutting solution for filter bag cuffs, bottom discs, and reinforcement layers. Designed for precision, speed, and compatibility with all technical filter materials.

This smart cutting machine is the most advanced, game-changing solution for automated cutting of filter bag cuffs, bottom discs, reinforcement layers, and felt strips — replacing outdated manual and punch-cutting methods still common in the industry today.

This smart cutting machine is engineered for precision cutting of key filter bag components:

• Cuff fabric (for top openings)
• Bottom discs (round bases for bag ends)
• Reinforcement layers
• Felt strip
• Liquid filter bag pre-cutting processes

In traditional workshops, these components are produced via multiple stations involving at least 6 workers, with repeated measuring, template marking, and disc punching by hand or die press. Our system revolutionizes this process, replacing the entire workflow with one fully automated machine operated by a single person — significantly reducing labor costs and boosting factory competitiveness.

Engineered for high precision and high throughput, the machine supports all technical filtration materials, including:

• Needle-punched felts

• Fiberglass filter media

• Hybrid fiberglass felts

• PTFE Needle Felt 

• Aramid, PPS, PTFE,polyester, polypropylene, and their blends

With servo motion control and digital shape programming, it delivers consistent, clean, and repeatable cuts of any 2D shape without requiring physical dies or manual intervention

Smart Nesting Software (Patent-Pending)

Our system features a proprietary intelligent cutting layout optimizer, developed to maximize fabric usage:

• Automatically arranges cuffs, discs, and reinforcement shapes

• Supports mixed-size production layouts

• Optimizes cutting paths for up to 90% material utilization

• Reduces waste, tooling cost, and fabric stock needs

• Improves output rate with zero manual nesting effort

This cutting optimization system makes the machine not only a high-speed cutter but a cost-saving, intelligent manufacturing solution — ideal for high-volume, multi-shape production environments.

Why Replace Manual Cutting?

In most filter bag factories today, cutting cuffs, discs, and reinforcement layers involves:

• Hand-marking fabric with cardboard or wooden templates

• Scissor or die cutting using fixed jigs

• Repetitive manual measurements with high error risk

• Use of manual punch machines to cut round discs, one at a time

• At least 6 full-time workers across 3–4 separate workstations

This process is time-consuming, inconsistent, injury-prone, and space-inefficient — and it directly impacts final product quality.

The Smart Cutter consolidates these steps into a single, intelligent workstation, minimizing errors, reducing material waste, and enabling higher production speeds with just one operator.

✅ One machine replaces 6+ workers
✅ Eliminates tool storage, template errors, and die changeover
✅ Boosts productivity and dimensional accuracy
✅ Reduces floor space usage and improves workplace safety

Key Features

• Three-in-One Cutting: Cuts cuffs, bottom discs, and reinforcement layers on one machine

• Any Shape Cutting: Supports rectangles, circles, ovals, notches, and DXF-defined custom geometries

• Servo-Driven Precision: High-accuracy cutting with clean edges and programmable dimensions

• All-Material Compatible: Works with aramid, PPS, PTFE, fiberglass, blends, and other felts

• Single-Person Operation: Fully automated feeding, cutting, and counting

• Compact Footprint: Space-saving layout with low maintenance requirement

Applications

• Cutting cuffs for bag top collars

• Producing bottom discs for round-bottom filter bags

• Preparing reinforcement layers (100mm or 150mm wide) to strengthen bag openings

• Cutting felt strips for profile bonding or structural lining

• Liquid filter bag pre-cutting processes

Your Benefits

• Replace 5+ manual processes with 1 smart automated system

• Save labor (1 operator vs. 6+ workers)

• Eliminate die inventory, storage, and template variation

• Improve dimensional accuracy and finished product consistency

• Optimize raw material use and factory floor space

• Lower your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by cutting labor, waste, tooling, and downtime

In modern filter bag production, automation isn’t just about cutting — it’s about achieving higher precision, faster throughput, and easier scalability with fewer people and less space.
