A slitter is a machine used to convert a roll of material into several smaller rolls. And this article is aim to help you how to choose a slitter
1.Material types:
With adhesive: like double sided tape, foam tape, masking tape, etc.
Without adhesive: like paper, film, label stock, non woven, etc.
2.Unwind Unit:
According to your material width, choose the suitable type of machine.
3.Unwind shaft
With shaft: regular type, cost-effective
Shaft-less unwinder: operation is easy, just cost is higher.
4.Edge Trimming Methods
1)Surface trim spool winder: for adhesive tapes
2)servo trim spool winder: for non-adhesive material or low-adhesion material, and not easy tear type
3) fan trimming: non-adhesive paper, thin film, etc.
5.Rewind Unit
According to the diameter of smaller rolls you wanted,choose the suitable rewinding diameter.
6.Rewind Shaft:
Air shaft: suitable for materials with very even thickness.
Differential shaft: separately control tension, when material thickness is not average,
it’s a must to install differential shafts
