The Reichel & Drews Cut‑To‑Length (CTL) Cutter is designed to cut laminated asphalt shingle strips to consistent, accurate lengths at high production speeds.
As material enters the cutter, guide rolls help keep shingle strips properly aligned and under control. Length is measured before cutting to ensure shingles are cut to the correct size every time. The system includes features that allow rolls to release quickly if a jam occurs, helping protect equipment and reduce downtime. Automated roll cleaning helps prevent material buildup and supports consistent cutting performance.
Each cutting station incorporates precision cutting cylinders to maintain accurate timing, consistent cut quality, and reliable operation at high speeds. The design allows for quick knife changes to minimize maintenance time.
