Keller has built two dual-reel skiving machines Skiving or scarfing machines cut material off moving strip, usually metal, to leave a desired edge shape or cross section. The process is used instead of rolling the material to shape when the material must not be work hardened, or must not shed minute slivers of metal later  so far, both for a maximum total film width of 16 meters. Dual integrated winders are also available on three smaller skiver models with total film widths down to 400 mm. Tel: +49 (5451) 85-0, www.keller-hcw.de
