Side Trimmers

Side Trimmer for Slitting Lines With 3-50 mm Trimmed Width

Where the coil edge is damaged or out of specification, the side trimmer takes 3 to 50 mm off each side so the strip comes back to a clean constant width. That range covers both light dressing and serious edge recovery on the same machine.

  • Trimmed width 3-50 mm per side
  • Double head cantilever rotary hybrid power shear
  • Double edged blades with end face grinding
  • Servo cylinder controlled width adjustment

Key Benefits

What the wide trim range gives you.

Light Dressing Or Full Recovery

A 3 to 50 mm range means the same machine removes a light edge defect or recovers a badly damaged coil edge.

Consistent Strip Width

Trimming keeps the strip at the same width along its length, which downstream processes depend on.

Edge Cracks Removed

Small edge defects such as cracks are cut away before the strip breaks in a follow up process.

Where It Is Used

Applications.

  • Slitting lines in metallurgical plants
  • Edge recovery on damaged coil
  • Width correction before further processing
  • Continuous production line trimming sections

Who It Is For

  • Slitting line operators
  • Service centres recovering damaged coil
  • Plants standardising coil width
  • Buyers needing a wide trim range on one machine

Problems It Solves

  • Edge cracks and damage on incoming coil
  • Width variation along the strip
  • Limited trim range on existing equipment
  • Slow, imprecise width adjustment

Technical Features

Machine features.

Two Blade Shearing

Two displacement and vertical circular blades work at a set gap and overlap, deforming the edge until it fractures.

Double Head Cantilever Structure

The rotary hybrid power shear arrangement trims both edges with matched blade condition.

Blade Service Design

Double edged blades with end face grinding and hydraulic nut locking allow fast change and regrinding.

Manufacturing Process

Product Review

Material, gauge, incoming width and required trimmed width define the machine.

Head And Frame Manufacture

Heads and frame are machined for blade alignment across the trim range.

Blade Production

Blades are hardened and end face ground.

Assembly And Test

Gap, overlap and servo width control are set and tested.

Quality Control

  • Head alignment inspection
  • Blade hardness and grinding verification
  • Gap and overlap setting record
  • Width adjustment accuracy test

Customization Options

  • Trim range to your product mix
  • Blade specification per material
  • Drive and line speed matching
  • Scrap chute and chopper interface

Use Guide

  • Set trimmed width from the actual edge condition, not a fixed value
  • Regrind blades on the end face before edge quality drops
  • Check hydraulic nut locking after blade changes
  • Size scrap handling for the maximum trim width

How It Compares

Against narrower trimmers.

Fixed trim width machines3 to 50 mm adjustment covers both light dressing and full edge recovery.
Manual width adjustmentServo cylinder control repeats settings precisely between coils.
Trimming offlineIn line trimming removes an extra handling and coiling step.
FAQ

Side Trimmer With 3-50 mm Trimmed Width FAQ

How much can it trim from each edge?

From 3 mm up to 50 mm per side, adjusted through the servo controlled width system.

How does it cut?

Two displacement and vertical circular blades work at a set gap and overlap. The strip deforms at contact and fractures cleanly.

Why trim at all?

Rolling leaves small edge defects such as cracks. If they are not cut away, the strip can break in the follow up process.

How are blades maintained?

Blades are double edged with end face grinding and hydraulic nut locking, so they can be turned and reground.

Does it come with scrap handling?

Trimming and scrap chopping are usually supplied together so trimmed edges are chopped and collected continuously.

What do you need to quote?

Material, thickness and width range, required trimmed width range, line speed and layout.
