What is slitting?
Slitting is the action of cutting a parent coil into one or a number of narrower widths using rotary slitting knives.
Each of the finished widths is known as a strand, and
is recoiled to produce a finished width slit coil. The
strands can be of varying widths.
To slit the material the coil is unwound and passed
through a set of fixed guides, allowing for the parent
material to be offered up to the slitting head in a controlled
manner. The slitting head consists of two driven arbors
with a number of rotary slitting knives and spacers set
to produce the finished required size once the material
has been passed through them. The blades act as rotary
cutters, offering a scissor
action which never fully closes.
After coil slitting, the material is recoiled on the
finishing mandrel to produce a number of narrow coils which are banded.
We can also cut coils in half, or using Slitter 3 (our narrow line), re-slit into yet smaller sizes.
Our customers have the option of collecting their material or requesting us to arrange delivery.
