The Equalizer® rotary die cut system increases dimensional die cut accuracy by correctly indexing the surface speed of the anvil cylinder to the speed of the die cylinder. Contact your Dicar agent for possibilities on your rotary die cutter. Increase your die cutting accuracy now!

The Equalizer® rotary die cut system increases die cut accuracy by correctly indexing the surface speed of the anvil cylinder to the speed of the die cylinder. The result is far greater diecutting dimensional accuracy than a conventional rotary diecutter.

The Equalizer®

The Equalizer® rotary die cut system is a patented product from Dicar that increases die cut accuracy by correctly indexing the surface speed of the anvil cylinder to the speed of the die cylinder. This results in greater dimensional accuracy than a conventional rotary diecutter.
The Equalizer consists of a chrome-plated anvil cylinder and an indexing bearing mounted on the cylinder with the A5 Dicar urethane covers mounted to the bearing. Since its introduction over ten years ago, more than 1,000 Equalizer systems are in daily operation in box plants all around the world.

The Dicar Equalizer eliminates the problem of the second blank from a two-up die becoming too short. This “piggy-back” effect is solved and it eliminates the necessity of modifying the second up section of the die. The indexing function of the Equalizer creates consistency throughout the life of the anvil covers. With proper rotation the last cut is the same as the first.

Boltless™ Equalok® Covers

Our latest Equalizer design uses the same principals while making cover rotation simple, logical and fast. Installation and rotation time are significantly reduced by this Boltless™ Equalok cover, eliminating the need for mounting bolts.

Cover rotation on our new Equalizer cover is done by removing a section from one end, smoothly sliding over the others and adding the removed section back at the opposite end. The sections automatically interlock for perfect Equalizer performance.

With the new Equalizer, cover rotation is typically completed in just a few minutes. The new Equalizer is available for most new and existing rotary die cutters. Installations of the original Equalizer can also be updated and modernized to this new system in your plant.
