Slitting machines

Solutions for all common surface materials such as paper, PVC, PP and veneer
Reel slitting machines and edge cutting machines for surface material on reels
With steady unwinding and rewinding plus a precise cut of the surface material, you create ideal conditions for high quality wrapped or foiled profiles. When choosing a slitting machine, both working safety and easy handling are important factors which increase significantly with the degree of automation that the machine offers.
Duespohl offers solutions for all common surface materials, featuring different degrees of automation ranging from basic equipment with steady tension to maximum automation including automatic positioning of knives.

Slitting machines: setting the conditions for optimal wrapping results
When it comes to rewinding, we consider both the demand for a tight rewinding, as well as the demands of more sensitive foils such as those with an acrylic layer.
Additionally, we produce edge cutting machines with automatic knife positioning as well as an edge cutting and rewinding machine for the separation of mother reels into newly rewound reels with shorter lengths.
Two ways of separating


On a reel slitting and rewinding machine, the surface material will be unwound, cut by knives and rewound. This silent process is also suitable for thermoplastic surface material and minimises the loss of material.

Reel slitting machines:
automated solutions
All slitting and rewinding machines by Duespohl unwind and rewind with constant tension, independently of the diameter. The steady winding is a necessary condition for a trouble-free wrapping process and prevents cracks in double layer materials.
Both AutoCut and EdgeCut feature automatic knife positioning. This increases working safety and makes precise settings as well as reproducible results possible, independently of the individual operator’s skills. Of course this solution also contains recipe management and the possibility to connect the control system to your company’s network.

Highly precise friction system: tight rewinding of different widths
Duespohl equips slitting and rewinding machines optionally with friction winding shafts. These enable tight rewinding of the separated reels over the entire width. Often, the mother reel itself suffers from differences in the material thickness. Without friction winding shafts, unwinding could be undermined by differences in tension.
