Looping Slitter

A looping slitter is the most common slitter for slitting of light gauge materials and narrow widths (also known as mults). The materials are typically looped into a pit after the slitter, allowing for accumulation of the mults. With the material accumulation in the loop allows for maintaining constant tension across all mults at the recoiler. In this setup, the entry section and slitter are over sped to create the loop and then synchronized to the recoiler speed.

Looping Slitter Equipment Options

With any Element Slitting line, we offer several options that are available to increase the productivity of your equipment. Some of the options that we offer to maximize the capacity of our slitting lines include:

  • Removable slitting heads
  • Turret style slitting arbors
  • Scrap handling systems (Cutters, choppers, bailers, or scrap winders)

Looping Slitter Experience

Element has supplied many loop-type slitters, these machines involve deep pit installed in the foundation between the slitter and recoiler assemblies. This pit allows for propagation and accumulation of the mult length differentials. The use of an adjustable tension stand in front of the recoiler assembly, allows for uniformly wound slit coil under constant tension at the recoiler.

Element Machinery has supplied slitting lines to handle 0.005″ (0.13 mm) to 0.0625″ (15.9 mm) strip widths from:

WHAT WE OFFER

LOOPING SLITTING LINE

A looping slitter is the most common slitter for slitting of light gauge materials and narrow widths (also known as mults).

PULL THRU SLITTING LINE

A pull through slitting line is used by decoupling or allowing the slitter motor to free spin and slitting material by pulling it through the knives with the recoiler drive.

DRIVE ASSISTED SLITTING LINE

A drive assisted slitting line is designed so that the slitter drive is used to help push material through the downstream process.
