Selecting a saw for cutting hollow core floor slabs is an important step that determines the speed, accuracy and safety of the work. If the tool is selected incorrectly, you can face low productivity, poor quality cuts or even equipment failure. Let's look at the key points that will help you make the right choice.

Determining cutting requirements

Before buying a saw, it is important to understand what kind of slabs are to be worked with. If you need to cut fresh concrete, you need one model, if hardened - another. The type of cut is also important: longitudinal, transverse or angled. Universal saws can cope with both types of cutting, which is especially convenient for large production facilities.

The thickness of the boards plays a decisive role. For example, saws from TDM Engineering can work with slabs up to 600 mm high, which is suitable for most construction tasks. But if the boards are thicker, you will have to look for equipment with larger cutting disks.

Engine power and performance

The power of the motor determines how efficiently the saw will get the job done. If the power is too low, cutting will take a long time and require a lot of effort, and overloading can lead to breakdowns. Modern industrial saws have motors ranging from 25 to 55 kW, which can handle boards of different densities and sizes.

The diameter of the cutting disk is also important: the larger it is, the deeper the cut can be. For example, TDM Engineering saws use disks with a diameter from 800 to 1300 mm, which makes it possible to work with boards of different thickness.

Model range of saws TDM Engineering

TDM Engineering offers a wide range of saws for cutting hollow core floor slabs, including:

  • UL Series saw: Designed for longitudinal cutting of slabs on fresh concrete.
  • L series saw: Automatic portal saw for cross cutting of slabs with a blade up to 900 mm and cutting height up to 320 mm.
  • LP series saw: Automatic cross-cutting platform with a blade up to 1300 mm and cutting height up to 500 mm.
  • N series saw: Semi-automatic platform for cutting at any angle with a blade up to 1300 mm and cutting height up to 500 mm.
  • S Series saw: Universal automatic platform for cutting at any angle with a blade up to 1300 mm and cutting height up to 500 mm.
  • SU series saw: Automatic platform for cutting at any angle with a blade up to 1300 mm and cutting height up to 500 mm.

Automation and ease of use

Modern saws are equipped with automatic control systems that simplify operation and increase cutting accuracy. For example, models from TDM Engineering have automatic cutting speed control, which reduces the possibility of errors.

An additional advantage is the speed of the saw's movement. If the equipment can move quickly through the work area, it speeds up the process. For example, some models have speeds as fast as 35 meters per minute, which significantly reduces the time it takes to process each slab.

Choosing the right saw for cutting floor slabs is a combination of several factors: type of cutting, motor power, cutting disk size and level of automation. If all these parameters are taken into account, it is possible to select reliable equipment that will ensure high accuracy and efficiency.
