Kraft Paper Slitting Machine-horizontal type
The Kraft Paper Slitting Machine horizontal type converts a wide mother roll of kraft paper into multiple narrower finished rolls in a single pass. Unwinding and rewinding shafts are positioned at the front and back of the machine, allowing continuous operation. This machine enables a paper converter or packaging producer to slit kraft reels to custom widths for downstream use in honeycomb paper, paper bubble, or pre-opened bag production, reducing reliance on third-party slitting services.
- Converts wide kraft paper reels into custom widths without outsourcing slitting
- Horizontal design allows stable unwinding and rewinding with consistent tension control
- Adjustable cutting speed from 5 to 180 m/min matches production line throughput
- Precision slitting within ±0.5 mm ensures consistent roll width and reduces waste
- Automatic meter counting stops the machine at set lengths for uniform roll sizes
Why Buyers Choose It
- Third-party slitting services add cost and delay to production schedules
- Inconsistent roll widths from outsourced slitting cause jams or misfeeds in downstream machines
- Lack of control over slitting precision leads to waste and rework
- Manual slitting is slow and unsafe compared to automated horizontal slitting
- Inability to produce custom roll widths in-house limits flexibility in packaging design
Who Runs This Machine
- Paper converters adding slitting capacity to their existing converting lines
- Protective packaging producers sourcing kraft paper in wide reels and needing narrower rolls
- Slitting houses serving regional markets with custom-width paper rolls
- E-commerce packers running roll-fed bagging systems requiring consistent roll widths
Where This Machine Is Used
- Paper converters slitting kraft paper reels to feed into honeycomb or bubble paper machines
- Packaging producers preparing narrow rolls for use in pre-opened bag lines
- Slitting houses processing kraft paper for local distribution to small-scale packers
- E-commerce fulfilment centres converting bulk kraft paper into roll stock for automated bagging
- Manufacturers producing paper cushioning materials that require precise width control

How The Machine Runs
Materials
- Kraft paper reels up to 1000 mm diameter and 1050–1550 mm width
- BOPP, PET, CPP, CPE, PVC, aluminum foil, and other film or paper materials
- Transparent or low-contrast materials with edge tracking via photocell
Quality Control
- Magnetic powder brake maintains consistent unwinding tension to prevent web distortion
- Magnetic clutch ensures even rewinding tension across all finished rolls
- Precision slitting within ±0.5 mm verified during test runs with customer material
- Edge tracking system prevents misalignment and roll edge damage
- Machine tested with customer-supplied paper before shipment to confirm performance
Customisation
- Blade type selected based on material: straight blade for film, circle blade for paper
- Rim charge conveying or rewinding device added on request
- Power supply built to voltage and frequency of destination country on request
- Adjustable slitting width and roll diameter settings for different production needs
- Control panel configured for local language and operational preferences
Certifications
- ISO9001:2000 certificate obtained in 2005
- CE certificate obtained in 2006
How It Compares
| Outsourced slitting services | In-house slitting removes third-party costs and delivery delays but requires machine investment and operator time |
|---|---|
| Vertical slitting machines | Horizontal design offers better stability and easier access for maintenance and roll loading |
| Manual slitting | Automated slitting is faster, safer, and more precise, reducing waste and operator risk |
Running It On Your Floor
- Ensure the unwinding shaft is properly secured and the mother roll is centered before starting
- Set the desired roll width and confirm blade type matches the material being slitted
- Start at low speed (5 m/min) and gradually increase while monitoring web tracking
- Check the first few meters of slitting for edge alignment and width accuracy
- Use the photocell sensor to verify edge tracking on transparent or low-contrast materials
