A slitter machine (commonly referred to as aslitter rewinder) is a special type of equipment used to convert / slit many different materials so they can be cut down into narrower rolls. Master rolls are often made to be as large as possible in order to be cost-effective. The rolls are converted / slit to the required widths, and are either rewound to the same diameter / length or reduced to smaller ones depending on their use and market served.
Slitting machines consist of three main components: the unwind, the slitting method, and the rewind. The process starts when a master roll of material at a given width is loaded into the unwind, allowing you to pay out the material. As the material is fed out of the unwind, the slitter cuts it into smaller widths according to the machine settings. After the material is slit, the strips are then rewound onto a corresponding core of the same width.
Slitter rewinders can process a broad variety of both thick and thin materials, including; Very high bonding adhesives, Natural Fabrics, Textiles, Felt, Film, Foam, Paper, Plastics (Coated/Metalized), PVC, Rubber, Tape, Wovens and non-wovens, Geotextiles, Foil (Metals), Laminations, etc.
