FPT-A Semi-Automatic Paper Core Cutting Machine
HCI CONVERTING EQUIPMENT · SEMI-AUTOMATIC CORE CUTTING
Semi-Automatic Paper Core Cutting Machine
The HCI FPT-1400A is the semi-automatic upgraded model of the FPT series core cutter. Instead of manual pressure, a pneumatically controlled cutting system applies constant pressure to provide a smooth cut surface on paper cores up to a thickness of 10 mm. With its two-hand safety design (the blade descends when both buttons are pressed and automatically rises when one is released), quick-lock ring and durable PE anvil, it operates safely and quickly. It offers a 10–1400 mm cutting length. As the Türkiye distributor of HCI Converting Equipment, GMG Technic provides sales, installation, commissioning and technical support.

Production Advantages
- Pneumatically controlled cutting; smooth cut surface with constant pressure (max. 10 mm thickness).
- Two-hand safety design; the blade descends only when both buttons are pressed and rises automatically when one is released.
- Quick-lock ring; the paper core is changed quickly and without damage.
- The PE anvil makes the cutter blade more durable.
- Segment design; the quick-lock ring and cutting position can be changed.
Application Areas
- Semi-automatic paper core preparation for slitting and rewinding lines.
- Paper core cutting with a wall thickness of up to 10 mm.
- Cutting length over a wide 10–1400 mm range.
- Paper core production in 3" and (optional) 6" core diameters.
