Steel Slitting

What is slitting?

The following process is used for all strip mill products.

Slitting is the action of reducing the parent width of the coiled steel to one or a number of narrower widths. Each of the finished widths is known as a strand, and is recoiled to produce a finished width slit coil. The strands can be of varying width.

To slit the material the coil is unwound and passed through a set of fixed guides, this allows for the parent material to be offered up to the slitting head in a controlled manner. The slitting head consists of two driven arbors with a number of rotary slitting knives and spacers set to produce the finished required size once the material has been passed through them. The blades act as rotary cutters, thus offering a never fully closing scissor action..

Once the material has been slit it is recoiled on the finishing mandrel to produce a number of smaller coils. Other options might include cutting the coils into half or more and re-slitting to smaller sizes
