From Reel to Sheet: Dayuan High Speed Sheet Cutters Deliver Clean Cuts at China Paper Expo 2026

From November 11 to 13, 2026, Dayuan Machinery showcased two Servo Precision Double Helix High Speed Sheet Cutter Machines — the KM-1500 and the HM-1500 — at the China Paper and Equipment Exhibition 2026 and China Paper Trade Fair, hosted at Yantai Bajiaowan International Convention and Exhibition Center in Yantai, China. Organized by the China Paper Association, this established annual event covers the entire paper industry chain and attracts paper mills, traders and converters from across the sector.

Sheet cutting marks the first step in converting paper from reel to finished sheet. Cut-edge quality directly impacts the efficiency and yield of subsequent printing and die cutting processes. Traditional sheet cutters often leave burrs, requiring an extra trimming pass. This adds labour and extends lead time — a hidden cost frequently overlooked by paper mills and traders scheduling production around tonnage and delivery deadlines. The Dayuan sheet cutters on display deliver clean, smooth cut edges, so sheets can go straight to printing without secondary processing.

Double-Rotary Spiral Knife: ±0.1 mm Sheet Cutting Accuracy

Both machines are built around Dayuan's patented embedded double-rotary spiral knife (invention patent), which replaces the straight-knife impact cut with double-knife spiral shearing. Cutting accuracy reaches ±0.1 mm, allowing customers to drop the second edge-trimming step and the labor that comes with it. The machines are servo-driven and quiet in operation, and they handle cardboard, coated paper, aluminum foil paper and other stock with consistent results over long runs.

The two models differ in speed to match different capacity requirements. The KM-1500 reaches a maximum cutting line speed of 330 m/min with up to 540 cuts/min, while the HM-1500 delivers 300 m/min and up to 450 cuts/min. Dayuan's extensive product line lets customers match the model to their order volume, paper grade and required capacity.

Throughout the show, both sheet cutters ran continuous demonstrations covering the full sequence from reel loading and tension control to precision cutting and sheet delivery, with freshly cut edges available for close inspection at the booth. Visitors included paper mills, paper traders, and printing and packaging manufacturers. Dayuan's technical team discussed paper runnability, cutting accuracy and line configuration with guests, and the exhibited machines received positive feedback.

A Complete Equipment Range from One Supplier

Beyond sheet cutting, Dayuan's portfolio spans hot foil stamping machines , die cutting machines and web-fed digital printing machines , giving paper converters a complete equipment range from prepress to post-press forming. With 27 years in printing and packaging equipment, Dayuan Machinery continuously optimizes its products and upgrades machine performance. Taking part in this show helped the team gain direct insight into real-world production demands from papermaking and converting operations. Going forward, Dayuan will keep focusing on the varied needs of global customers, supplying more efficient, reliable intelligent equipment and turnkey solutions for the paper, printing and packaging industries.
