The Butt Roll Safe-Slab™ offers a safe, productive and hands free slabbing solution for butt rolls. Machine operators are removed from the cutting process and slabbing occurs within a wire mesh enclosure. The Butt Roll Safe-Slab™ features interlocking doors for added safety. The slabbing is performed by the automated cutting mechanism and is activated by the operator via push button control. The operator only has to load the butt roll onto the slabbing arm, the rest of the slabbing process is controlled via the externally mounted operator control panel.
Features:
- Hands free, push button activated slabbing
- Wire mesh enclosure for added safety
- Interlocking doors
- Cut headers in half for easier disposal
- Externally mounted operator control panel

The Master Roll Safe-Slab™ can be installed as a standalone operation or to function with existing workflows to provide seamless integration capable of providing a high level of automation. Safety is achieved by placing the blade and cutting area within an enclosure that requires no direct interaction from the operator. Once the master roll is loaded onto the slabbing arm, the operator simply presses a button and the roll is lifted into cutting position. The Master Roll Safe-Slab’s automated cutting mechanism can achieve a higher pace of precise cutting than manual cutting with utility knives can provide.
