Slitters

Machine Concepts builds a full line of slitters for applications in finishing and cut to length lines. Some common applications include:

Drop in self contained heads to replace or complement existing slitters
High precision heads for light gage high speed lines running aluminum, steel, and red metals
Traditional finishing and cut to length lines
Slitter upgrades including new drives (Retrofit onto existing heads), new fixed bases, or improved arbor and bearing precision
Arbor upgrades to accept hydraulic hub cutters/knife holders

Many new slitters designed to be compatible with existing scrap handling systems

Slitter Standard Features:

Heavy duty, rugged housings
High precision SAE 4150 flame hardened arbors
Synthetic grease lubricated arbor bearings for lower operating temperatures
