How to choose a suitable slitter?

1. Consider material properties
1. Material type
If it is paper material, choose a slitter that is well adapted to paper, and its cutter should be able to cut paper fibers cleanly and neatly to avoid burrs. For plastic film, the cutter of the slitter needs to be sharp enough and adapt to the softness of the film to prevent the material from stretching and deforming.
2. Material thickness
For thinner materials (such as films with a thickness of less than 0.1 mm), you need to choose a slitter with higher precision, and the adjustment accuracy of the cutter should be within ±0.05 mm to ensure the slitting quality. For thicker materials (such as cardboard with a thickness greater than 1 mm), the slitter needs to have sufficient power and rigidity, and the cutter can withstand greater cutting force.
2. According to production needs
1. Slitting size requirements
If you need to slit a variety of materials with different widths, then choose a slitter with flexible tool spacing adjustment. It is best to be able to automatically adjust the tool spacing, and the adjustment range should cover the required various sizes. For example, if the production process requires slitting of materials with a width ranging from 5 mm to 500 mm, the tool adjustment range of the slitting machine should be at least within this range.
2. Production efficiency requirements
For large-scale production and high efficiency requirements, high-speed slitting machines should be selected. For example, in some large packaging material manufacturers, the slitting speed of the slitting machine may need to reach more than 200 meters per minute. For small batch and multi-variety production, you can choose a slitting machine with moderate speed, flexible operation and convenient changeover.
3. Consider the function and configuration of the equipment
1. Automation level
Enterprises with large-scale production and high requirements for production efficiency and quality stability can choose slitting machines with a high degree of automation, such as equipment with automatic feeding, automatic parameter adjustment, automatic detection and deviation correction. This can reduce manual intervention and improve production efficiency and product quality.
2. Auxiliary functions
If the production environment has high requirements for the cleanliness of the material, then choosing a slitting machine with a dust removal device can effectively reduce the dust and debris generated during the material slitting process. In addition, you can also consider a slitting machine with a tension control system, which can ensure that the material maintains a stable tension during the slitting process and improve the slitting quality.
4. Consider the quality of the equipment and after-sales service
1. Equipment quality
Check whether the mechanical structure design of the slitting machine is reasonable, such as whether the body is made of high-strength steel to ensure the stability and durability of the equipment. Understand the brand and quality of the key components of the equipment (such as knives, motors, control systems, etc.). High-quality components can ensure the performance and service life of the equipment.
2. After-sales service
Choose a supplier with good after-sales service to ensure that you can get technical support and maintenance services in time when the equipment fails. For example, the supplier can respond to maintenance requests within 24 hours and provide on-site maintenance services.
