frequency-controlled drive system. A vertical
clamping unit can be optionally mounted. This is
mounted in front of the gripper jaws and covers
the entire cutting area. This offers a particular
benefit when sawing layers or bundles.
The machine is equipped with generously
dimensioned hinged doors which afford simple
access for cleaning or maintenance work. This
represents a particular benefit when changing
the saw blade. The sawing unit of the HBM540A
is also manufactured from a single cast frame,
meaning that the machine is extremely torsion
resistant even under the most extreme blade
tensioning forces. Two self-adjusting chip
brushes on either side of the saw blade clean it of
adhering chips during the machining process.
The overall machine concept of the HBM540A
was designed for trouble-free carbide capability,
meaning that not only the drive system but all
the relevant components have been adjusted for
the use of carbide blades. Carbide saw blades
offer an interesting alternative to bimetal, in
particular when considering the time factor as

part of the sawing process. The cutting output is
many times higher, which makes a major difference
to the machining times. The higher chip volume
produced when working with carbide saw blades
is directed into a generously dimensioned chip
conveyor.
The HBM540A shows itself to be a true specialist
when it comes to the sawing of aluminium. High
drive output levels and cutting speeds ensure
outstanding results in terms of performance,
precision and surface quality. In addition, special
rollers designed to cope with high speed levels
guides are integrated right from the design stage
to guide the saw blade for aluminium sawing.
A number of supplementary functions in the
machine’s electrical control system, for example
the reduced speed at the start of machining on
first penetration into the material, ensure perfect
cutting results with aluminium every time.
A self-explanatory, graphic-supported control
system paves the way for convenient and at the
same time easily understandable sawing machine
operation.

Molecor© a finalist of
the Inovyn Awards 2016

The combination of both, its innovative technology,
consisting on an Air Based System, and the use of
a material with great chemical properties resulted
in the appearance of the Molecor´s TOM® pipes.
Furthermore, we may highlight that as result of
its unique and patented technology, Molecor is
currently the only company in the world capable of
manufacturing pipes up to DN800 mm.

Molecor©, company specialised in the
development of the latest Molecular
Orientation Technology applied to canalisation
of water under pressure, is a finalist of the
Inovyn Awards 2016 celebrated in Düsseldorf,
Germany.

In spite of having revolutionised already its sector
with its continuous technological developments,
the company´s desire of improvement has led to
develop the M-OR-P 5012 technology, which it will
allow the manufacture of the first PVC-O pipes of
DN1200 mm.

Molecor© decided to present a candidature
to this Award since it was conscious of its
enormous contributions to the water sector
which substantially exceed the main goal of
this important event; to demonstrate the great
advantages and benefits that PVC-O offers both, to
the industry and to society in general.

Molecor© continues searching and innovating
on the application of this material in the water
under pressure pipelines sector with the aim of
developing and promoting more efficient and
environmentally friendly solutions.

Molecor© has demonstrated in this summon that
PVC-O is in the field of water under pressure pipes´,
an optimal material and with a great trajectory
ahead. These statements are due to its wide range
of applications and to its easy use and installation.
