Cutting Through The Complexity

Electric Vs. Hydraulic Cutters

Pellman warns against using electric versus hydraulic cutters, especially for those plants doing a large volume of cutting work. "If you buy a small electric cutter and your business grows, it's ill-suited to your needs," he says. "You should've purchased a hydraulic cutter to begin with. Paper manufacturing is constantly changing, and there's a lot of recycled paper on the market. Some of the small electric cutters can't cope with this kind of stock."
