The MACparter 190 combines panel parting, lug brushing, and lug trimming all into one quick, smooth operation. It is designed to handle both formed, and unformed panels while reducing lead in the air when connected to a proper ventilation system. A mechanical or vacuum feeder smoothly feeds plates into horizontal processing position. Once in position the lugs are brushed, clearing oxide without carving grooves into the metal surface that could retain wet flux. The MACparter 190 produces minimal vibration ensuring the lugs are clipped to the proper length, and the panels are accurately parted. A single twist crank adjusts both the feeder and chain carriers simultaneously, so handling new plate sizes only takes minutes.
