The BPC 7001 Guillotine Cutter is a heavy-duty cutting tool engineered for industrial and nuclear safety applications. It is designed to cut up to 6-inch schedule 40 stainless steel pipes with precision and power. Operated using a Manual Shift Remote Control Valve, it offers reliable control during cutting operations. The BPC-7001 can be configured as a stationary cutting station, where it can be mounted vertically or horizontally on the floor, or used as a chain-handled hot cell tool for remote cutting tasks. With a weight of approximately 700 pounds, it is a robust tool built for stability and heavy-duty performance. A load balancer system can also be provided to support its weight during operation.

Benefits

The BPC 7001 offers several benefits for specialized cutting tasks. Its ability to cut large 6-inch stainless steel pipes makes it ideal for industrial dismantling and maintenance operations. The dual mounting options — stationary and chain-handled — provide flexibility for both fixed and remote cutting tasks. The Manual Shift Remote Control Valve enhances operator safety and precision, especially during nuclear safety operations. Additionally, the availability of a load balancer system reduces the physical strain on operators, allowing safer and more efficient handling of the tool despite its substantial weight. Its compatibility with a standard 120V AC power source further ensures convenient integration into most work environments.

Limitations

Its significant weight of approximately 700 pounds makes it difficult to maneuver without specialized lifting equipment, limiting portability in fieldwork scenarios. The Manual Shift Remote Control Valve, while effective, may require training for precise operation. Additionally, the tool's capacity is restricted to cutting pipes up to 6 inches in diameter, making it unsuitable for larger pipe sizes or tasks requiring more diverse material handling. However, its stability, power, and precision make the BPC 7001 a valuable tool for demanding nuclear safety cutting operations.
