A pull through slitter is used by decoupling or allowing the slitter motor to free spin and slitting material by pulling it through the knives with the recoiler. These are used for heavier gauge material typically 1/4″ (6.35 mm) or above. Due to the heavier gauge material, “coil kinks”, or “coil breaks” could occur. As these are known in the industry where coil set forced into the opposite wound direction causes hairline fracture marks across the strip, a tight line mode of operation has to be met from the uncoiler through the slitter arbors and to the recoiler.
Pull Through Slitter Equipment Options
With any Element Pull Through 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).
Pull Through Slitter Experience
Element has supplied pull through slitters that are able to slit multiple cuts of up to 1/2″ thick material. In these machines, all of the power necessary for rewinding and slitting is 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.
