Roll Slitter

Textile lines produces fabric with predefined widths such as 50’’, 100’’ or 130’’. However, either because of the lack of an online cutting system or due to unestimatable demand of various widths of fabrics (tapes), the manufacturer needs to slit the finished the rolls to meet the demand. This is where the roll slitters become critical equipments for the industry. 

There are two types of roll slitters in the market: 

Surface Rolling Type 

Center Rolling Type 

In surface rolling type, the roll is placed on two rollers which are motor driven. This has the advantage of working with heavy rolls because the rollers support the fabric roll. 

In center rolling, the roll is placed on a shaft and the shaft is rotated. Since the weight of the roll is not supported underneath, the shaft may bend with huge loads. 

However, it is difficult to handle (lift and place on the slitter) heavy rolls without a shaft. So, both systems have their pros and cons.

BTU-TECH offers a center rolling type “roll slitter”.
