Slabbing machine for removing material (M) wound around a reel (R) comprising,
- a frame:
- a structure for holding the material (M) wound around the reel (R);
- a beam connected to the frame and displaceable along the frame in a radial direction (y);
- a blade holder connected to the beam and displaceable along the beam in a longitudinal direction (x) perpendicular to the radial direction (y);
- said blade holder comprising of an inner part and an outer part:
- a blade mounted on the blade holder for cutting the material (M) down to a cutting plane (p) perpendicular to the radial direction (y) and located closest to the reel in radial direction (y);
- several air outlets are mounted symmetrically on the blade holder on both sides of the blade and directed towards the cutting plane (p) for blowing air towards the cutting plane (p),
- wherein
- said inner part is arranged on the blade holder parallel to the lower half of a side of the blade and the face of the inner part not facing the blade has a groove with channels leading to the air outlets.
