Slitting is a process that is applied for cutting the single or double sided adhesive tapes through the needed width. There is a circle shape knife on the slitter machine. In some of them there will be more than one knife. That kind of machines are usefull for to cut the many tapes in one operation. In slitting process single and double sided tapes can be cut between 4 mm to 1600 mm width.
slitting process is also suitable for tissue carrier tapes, plastic carrier tapes like pp or pet carrier tapes, also suitable for closedcell adhesive tapes and all kind of foam tapes. For foam tapes family, PE foam, PU foam, EPDM foam and EVA foams can easily slit. The slitting machine has a cylindrical shaft that works in both directions. The circular blade on the machine works both clockwise and counterclockwise. Special blades are used to perform precise cuts without roughness. These knives can become dull over time from use. Sharpening should be done at certain intervals. For the cutting processes of industrial tape and similar products, the blade tip shape called B form is suitable.All these processes are carried out at the facility in Turkey.
