Alligator HD 1100 DC GR - Grating Bandsaw

The Alligator HD 1100 DC GR is a specialist twin column bandsaw engineered for productive cutting of metal walkway grating and other large flat materials. It is designed for straight 90° cutting only, with a rigid twin column structure on linear guides for accuracy, durability and reliable performance in continuous production environments.

Key benefits

Built for grating: high blade speed capability up to 200 m/min to suit industrial grating applications

Rigid twin column design: arm runs on linear guides for stable, accurate cutting

Secure material control: vertical clamping before and after the cut helps prevent vibration and improves blade life

Fast, repeatable operation: one switch can run the full automatic cutting cycle (clamp, cut, return, release)

Optimised blade life: large diameter wheels reduce blade stress at higher speeds

Designed for productivity on grating and large sheets

To minimise vibration when cutting grating, the ARG 1100 DC GR uses vertical clamps positioned in front of and behind the cut. The clamps use replaceable rubber strips beneath for better seating, helping stabilise the workpiece across the full cut length.

A powerful industrial hydraulic system supports reliable clamping and consistent cutting performance, and the blade speed is set via an inverter across a wide working range.

Operation and control

Automatic cycle via a single switch: clamp, raise conveyor stop, start blade, cut, stop, return to set height, unclamp

Manual mode available so functions can be operated independently when required

Automatic pressure regulation at both blade guide blocks to improve speed, accuracy and blade life

Blade tensioning via manual hydraulic pump with indication for correct tension control

Blade break/tension monitoring: machine stops automatically if the blade breaks

Roller conveyor options

Special roller conveyors are available to support safe handling of large materials and to improve throughput.

S 1100 – length 3700 mm, width 1200 mm

Basic roller conveyor. Both installation before and after the cut possible. Manual material feed.

SP 1100 – length 3700 mm, width 1200 mm

Motor-driven rollers for material feed. Both installations before and after the cut are possible.

SA 1100 – length 3700 mm, width 1200 mm. measuring length 2500

With an electrically powered measuring device. Large stops along the whole width of the conveyor can be folded hydraulically which prevents material from jamming. You can carry out the required length setting from the central control panel of the machine. The operating cycle is automatically synchronised with the whole operating cycle of the band saw.
