The CEBC1 is capable of cutting rubber belts up to 25mm thick and PVC belts up to 63 kilonewtons per metre while the CEBC2 is capable of cutting rubber belts up to 50mm thick and PVC belts up to 200kN/m.

Flexco product manager Patrick Mukushina said the cordless versions joined Flexco’s electric belt cutter line of maintenance tools.

The hand-held cutters are specifically designed to allow the user to cut belts easier and faster than traditional cutters, in addition to allowing for longitudinal cuts and angled cuts.

The high-speed steel blade on the cutters produces smooth, accurate cuts and is protected by a spring-loaded blade guard for enhanced worker safety.

“The cordless line of cutters gives this product line even more portability as it is easily moved, whether you are cutting belt in a maintenance shed or on a catwalk,” Mukushina said.
