Abstract:
A device for cutting slabs from a block of a weak material, such as not yet entirely solidified cellular concrete, comprising a revolvable cage into which the block lying upon a trolley is introduced; the cage is than rolled sidewardly and turned over 90* such that the block is resting upon a second trolley locked in the cage after which one or more cutting wires are passed through the block; finally the second trolley with the slabs is discharged and the cage is turned back 90*, so as to repeat the cycle.
