1100 Glazed Tile: Guide-Post Cutter vs Mid-Plate Cutter Configurations
Table of Contents
1. Scope
Both configurations target the 1100 mm formed-width glazed-tile family (feed about 1250 mm). They are not different roof products — they are different cutter / power packages around the same cover-width class. Mixing their main-motor figures is a common inquiry error.
2. What stays the same
| Item | Shared typical value |
|---|---|
| Thickness | About 0.3–0.8 mm |
| Feed → formed | About 1250 → 1100 mm |
| Pitch / crown | About 184 mm / about 28 mm |
| Pitch adjust series | About 150–380 mm where documented |
| Shaft / stations | φ80 mm; about 11 passes |
| Forming / working speed | About 8–12 / 3–5.5 m/min |
| Hydraulic | About 5.5 kW on both |
3. What changes
| Item | Guide-post cutter | Mid-plate cutter |
|---|---|---|
| Main motor | About 5.5 kW | About 3 kW |
| Cutter packaging | Guide-post / four-post aligned shear | Mid-plate cutter layout |
| Short cross-check note | Aligns with 5.5 kW main references for this guide-post tier | Does not align with the 5.5 kW guide-post main — keep separate |
4. Why cutter packaging matters
Industry glazed-tile pages often highlight post-cut four-post or linear-guide shears for clean cuts on stepped profiles. Guide-post and mid-plate are two ways to package that cut. Frame load path, blade guidance, and motor sizing can differ even when pitch and cover width look identical on paper.
5. How to choose
- State guide-post or mid-plate on the inquiry — do not only say “1100”
- If comparing quotes, check main kW (5.5 vs 3) before assuming they are the same machine
- Match embossing and cutter to the same configuration
- Other formed-width codes (828 / 950 / …) remain outside this pair
6. Buyer FAQ
Is geometry different?
Not on the documented shared items — feed, formed width, pitch, crown, shaft, and station count match. Power packaging differs.
Can I put a 3 kW main on a guide-post quote?
Not if the guide-post tier is specified at about 5.5 kW. Keep the tiers separate.
Where is the dedicated guide-post entry?
See the 1100 mm glazed tile guide-post cutter encyclopedia entry for the full family page.
Final ratings follow the confirmed proposal for the named cutter tier. Price and lead time are out of scope.
