"Metal slitting machine is a highly efficient coil processing equipment specifically designed to slit wide metal coils (such as cold-rolled, hot-rolled, stainless steel, and galvanized steel) into narrow strips of desired width. Meeting the needs of a great number of applications, this metal slitting line is quite important in industrial production. Metal slitting machines are becoming increasingly used as demand for high-precision narrow strips rises.

Metal slitting lines are used in a variety of industries, including agriculture, home appliances, automotive, construction, energy, heavy equipment, material handling, solar and wind energy, transportation, pipes, and horticulture. Metal slitting machine’s flexibility and efficiency make them a highly effective production solution in these sectors. Parameters can be customized to meet specific production requirements, ensuring the production of narrow strips that meet specifications. These strips can then be processed through other roll forming machines for secondary processing, ultimately forming the finished product."

Workflow of Metal Slitting Machine

During the slitting process, steel coils are loaded onto the decoiler by a crane, which feeds the coils into the metal slitting line. As the coils pass through the metal slitting line under tension, rotating slitting blades cut the coils into the desired width and thickness. These slitting blades typically cut the steel cleanly from edge to edge, minimizing material loss.

After slitting, the coils can be trimmed and re-coiled. The finished slitting steel is typically packaged and shipped to the customer. Depending on the application, metal slitting lines can handle a variety of coil widths, widths, and thicknesses, each designed to meet the customer's specific production needs.

Main Component Features of Metal Slitting Machine

-Loading trolley for metal slitting line: The four-guide rod device at the front of the decoiler consists of a track, a car body, and a transfer and lifting mechanism. The car body moves along the track. The lifting mechanism is hydraulically driven and includes components such as a V-shaped lifting frame. The heavy-duty frame is welded from steel plates with a Bakelite-lined V-shaped surface. It is driven by a hydraulic motor and features synchronized safety guards.

-Decoiler for metal slitting line: The decoiler utilizes a gearbox structure and a welded steel plate frame, providing excellent load-bearing performance. Its quadrangular pyramidal expanding and contracting reel is driven by a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic brake, and variable frequency motor.

-Slitter for metal slitting line: It consists of a movable blade holder, power source, and base. And it utilizes a hardened gear reducer and variable frequency motor for transmission. The upper blade shaft slide is driven up and down by a motor and worm gear. The finished product width can be adjusted using interchangeable modular spacers. The slitter is equipped with imported blade shaft bearings and features both thin oil and dry oil lubrication systems for slitting strips.

-Waste collection device for metal slitting line: It mounted on either side of the slitter, is an online winding mechanism consisting of a welded base, frame, and reel. Driven by a variable frequency motor and reducer, it automatically adjusts the winding speed based on the slitter speed, maintaining tension with a constant current. It is used to collect slit strips.

-Recoiler for metal slitting line: It located behind the tensioning station, consists of a reel, gearbox, and other components. Driven by a variable frequency motor and hydraulically controlled expansion and contraction clamping, it rewinds the narrow strips slit by the metal slitting line.
