The role of a slitting machine

The mechanism used for the slitting process is often referred to a slitter, a slitting machine or a slitter rewinder. To put things simply, the main roll of a slitting machine is to convert (slit) papers, film and foil materials so that large rolls of these materials can be cut into narrower rolls.

A slitting machine consists of three main parts; the unwind, the slitter and the rewind. By feeding a large roll of your chosen material through the slitter’s unwind, your material will then unwound, be slit into various widths before being rewound into cores of various widths.

The receipts that you receive were originally part of a master roll, however after going through the slitting process they are divided into many smaller rolls, which are eventually used to supply a receipt for your transaction.
