Custom Solutions for Slitting & Converting Requirements
Custom slitting solutions start with the material and production requirement. Material type, thickness, parent roll dimensions, finished slit widths, production speed and winding requirements are reviewed before the machine configuration is defined.
The engineering review covers working width, slitting arrangement, tension control, unwinding, rewinding and operating functions. The confirmed requirements then provide the basis for quotation, manufacturing and final testing.
What Can We Customize?
Working Width
Working width is matched to the parent roll and required finished product range. Available production space and material flow are also considered when defining the machine layout.
Slitting Configuration
The cutting arrangement is selected according to finished slit widths, material characteristics and production requirements. Knife positioning and the required number of cutting positions are included in the technical review.
Roll Handling
Parent roll diameter, roll weight, core dimensions and finished roll format determine the requirements for unwinding and rewinding. These values are reviewed before the relevant machine sections are specified.
Speed Requirements
Target operating speed is assessed together with material thickness, web behavior, tension requirements and winding conditions. The working range is established from the stated application.
Control Functions
Control requirements cover the functions needed for feeding, speed adjustment, tension management, slitting and rewinding. The control arrangement follows the machine configuration and operating process.
Special Requirements
Non-standard dimensions, roll formats, machine functions or production conditions can be included in the technical review when required by the application.
Have a Non-Standard Requirement?
A custom project often begins with a production specification rather than a fixed machine model.
Useful information includes material type, thickness, maximum parent roll width, roll diameter, roll weight, core size, finished slit widths, finished roll diameter and target speed. Drawings, existing equipment information and material specifications can provide additional reference.
These details allow the technical team to identify the required machine sections and define the main points that need to be confirmed before manufacturing.
Engineering & Solution Development
Requirement Review
Material properties and roll dimensions are reviewed together with finished product requirements. Width alone does not determine the machine configuration; thickness, roll diameter, weight, core size and winding requirements also affect the design.
Configuration Development
The required unwinding, web handling, slitting, tension control and rewinding sections are selected according to the production process.
Technical Review
The proposed configuration is checked against the stated application requirements before manufacturing. This establishes the technical scope used for production and inspection.

Materials & Applications
Paper Materials
Paper and kraft paper require suitable web tension and winding control to maintain consistent material handling through the slitting process.
Plastic Films
Film properties such as thickness, flexibility and surface characteristics affect tension control, cutting conditions and finished roll formation.
Aluminum Foil
Thin foil requires controlled web handling and suitable winding conditions. Material thickness and roll format are considered when determining the machine configuration.
Laminated Materials
Laminated and flexible materials can have different layer structures and winding behavior. The material construction and finished roll requirements are reviewed before selecting the processing arrangement.
Manufacturing & Quality Control
Component Manufacturing
Machine structures and fabricated components are produced according to the confirmed dimensions and technical configuration.
Mechanical Assembly
Mechanical sections are assembled and aligned before the machine moves to electrical and control integration. Assembly follows the approved project specification.
Electrical Integration
Electrical and control systems are integrated according to the operating functions defined during the engineering stage.
Process Inspection
Key manufacturing and assembly stages are checked before final testing. Inspection focuses on maintaining consistency with the confirmed technical requirements.
Testing & Quality Assurance
Mechanical Testing
Machine movement, rotating sections and related mechanical functions are checked after assembly.
Control Testing
Configured operating functions and control responses are tested before shipment.
Running Test
The completed machine is operated to verify the interaction of the main mechanical, electrical and control sections.
Final Inspection
Machine configuration, main functions and assembly conditions are reviewed before delivery.
Specific test requirements can be defined during the technical review when application conditions require additional verification.
Custom Project Workflow
Requirement Discussion
Review material specifications, parent roll dimensions, finished widths, roll format, target speed and production requirements.
Technical Evaluation
Assess the application and determine the machine sections, slitting arrangement and control functions required.
Solution & Quotation
Confirm the technical configuration, project scope and commercial quotation before production begins.
Manufacturing
Manufacture and assemble the machine according to the approved technical requirements.
Testing & Inspection
Complete machine operation testing and final inspection before shipment.
Delivery & Support
Provide the technical information and support required for installation, commissioning and machine operation.
Why Choose a Custom Solution?
Application-Based Configuration
The machine configuration is determined by material, roll dimensions, finished product requirements and production conditions. This keeps the equipment specification connected to the actual process.
Defined Technical Scope
Key requirements are confirmed before manufacturing, giving purchasing and engineering teams a clear reference for quotation review and order confirmation.
Traceable Production Process
The confirmed configuration is carried through manufacturing, assembly and testing so the completed machine can be checked against the agreed technical scope.
Clear Project Communication
Technical specifications, drawings and application information can be reviewed during the project to keep purchasing, engineering and production requirements aligned.
Custom Project Applications
Non-Standard Working Widths
Suitable for production requirements outside a standard working-width configuration. Parent roll dimensions and finished product range are reviewed together.
Specific Finished Widths
The slitting arrangement can be configured around the required finished widths, number of slit rolls and production schedule.
Special Roll Dimensions
Parent roll diameter, finished roll diameter, core dimensions and roll weight can affect the unwinding and rewinding configuration.
Existing Production Lines
When the machine will operate within an existing production process, available space, material direction, roll handling and operating requirements can be included in the technical review.
