Paper Slitting and Sheeting
Before kraft can be converted into cushioning it usually has to be brought to the right width and format. Slitting and sheeting machines sit at the front of the line, turning parent rolls into the widths and sheets the rest of the plant runs on.
How the Specification Comes Together
Buying Parent Rolls
Problem: Buying pre-slit rolls at every width you need costs more and ties you to one supplier.
Buy wide parent rolls at a better rate and slit them to the widths your own machines and customers require.
Slitting To Width
Problem: Width tolerance drifts and edges come off ragged when slitting is not properly controlled.
Vertical and horizontal slitting machines are built for kraft, with the unwind and tension arranged for clean edges.
Sheeting
Problem: Sheet fed customers and benches cannot use roll stock.
A high speed sheeting machine converts roll to sheet at production rates rather than as a manual step.
Cutting Honeycomb
Problem: Honeycomb wrap has to be cut without crushing the formed grid.
Dedicated honeycomb paper cutting machines handle the formed material, available in one roll and two roll feeding designs.

View MachineQuestions About This Approach
Vertical or horizontal slitting?
Both are offered for kraft. The choice normally comes down to the floor space available and how rolls are handled into the machine.
Can the sheeter handle honeycomb material?
Formed honeycomb is cut on the dedicated honeycomb cutting machines rather than a plain paper sheeter.
