Shark Anvil Trimmer

The Shark Anvil Trimmer is an innovation that addresses uneven anvil wear and significantly reduces anvil-related downtime. Our exclusive design features 100 shark-like teeth along the length of the anvil drum that engage the anvil blanket during production. The result is even and consistent wear on the blanket, reduced die wear, extended blanket life, and an optimal die cut. The Shark is available as an option on new machines or as an upgrade to an existing MarquipWardUnited machine

Beneifts

• A current customer saw, “Over 90% reduction in anvil-related downtime in nine months following the Shark installation!”
• The Shark system is engaged while machine continues to process board, meaning no stoppage is required to trim the anvil blanket.
• Unlike other systems, the Shark does not generate heat from the anvil covers. You can trim more frequently without urethane gumming.
• For heavy die cuts, the Shark trims more frequently, minimizing blanket height variability to ensure optimal die cut impression. This can mean up to 50% cost savings in anvil covers!
• One facility found, “66% increase in impression/set” in the six months following the Shark installation.
• The precise grinding reduces the frequency of anvil rotations. Longer intervals between rotations saves forty (40) minutes during preventative maintenance procedures.
