Slitting Lines

Slitting lines are used in the coil processing industry. Slitting is a process where coils of steel are cut into narrower widths by passing the coil through a series of rotary, round, disc-shape knives mounted on parallel and horizontal shafts that are mounted to the slitter head the rotary knives are mounted on the arbors at a preset distance apart.

This distance is determined by the width of strip required. A coil of steel can be processed or slitted into any desired preset width(s) as long as the width(s) desired are less than the length of the arbor.

A slitter generally consists of an uncoiler to pay-off the coil. A slitter head with the rotary knives uses the recoiler to rewind the coil after it has been slit into narrower widths.

Other components that may be included with a slitter is a coil car used to lead the coil onto the arbor of the uncoiler. A coil car is also used to unload the narrower slitter coils from the uncoiler.

A slitter can be used to slit coils of ferrous and non-ferrous metals from a few inches in width to 80” wide from the thickness of foil to approximately 1”.
