Mechanical, rebuildable, and cheap to run. The workhorse.
The axe-type V-bottom machine is our entry model and the one most first-time buyers start with. It is deliberately mechanical: a cam-driven cut, no servo drives, no drive electronics to source. A competent local fitter can keep it running for twenty years.

Where the SM-P series buys you speed and quick size changes, the SM-17/68 B buys you independence. There is no drive card to fail and no supplier to wait on: bearings, belts, chains and the cutting blade are standard parts available in any industrial market.
That matters in the markets we sell to. A machine that a local workshop can repair on a Saturday is worth more than a faster one that waits three weeks for a servo amplifier.
Size change is by gear and cam setting rather than recipe, so it suits a producer running a few formats in long runs — bakery and bread bags above all.
How it works
The reel goes on an air spindle with pneumatic lift, and a magnetic powder brake holds web tension steady from a full reel down to the core.
The former folds the web and the glue wheel closes the side seam. Everything here is driven off the main line shaft, so the timing between forming and cutting can never drift out of phase.
The axe blade — the feature the machine is named for in Turkish — cuts the tube and forms the characteristic V base in one stroke. Bag length is set by changing the cam and gear pair; the change takes about forty minutes and holds indefinitely.
6.95 metres of line, and a parts list a local workshop can read. This is the machine we sell most of into North Africa.
