As industry research shows, the metal-fabrication and processing sector is accelerating its adoption of sensor-based monitoring, predictive maintenance and data-driven operations.
In that context, this slitting line includes built-in instrumentation that tracks key process parameters: coil tension, strip edge condition, winding profile, and slitter-head load among others. These data streams feed into the plant’s MES or maintenance-platform, enabling early detection of aberrations such as bearing drift, knife wear, misalignment or tension instability. When a deviation is detected, an alert can prompt pre-emptive maintenance — reducing risk of unplanned stoppage and avoiding scrap associated with off-spec runs.

The integration of variable tension-unit modes (felt plate, belt-bridle, roll) is also supported by digital control logic: for example, when switching from aluminium to high-strength steel, the system can recall preset tension profiles, adjust feedback loops and log deviations. This means you’re not just buying a slitting line — you’re acquiring a connected asset that participates in your plant’s digital ecosystem, aligning with the Industry 4.0 transition.
Material Versatility & Productivity Gains
With the ability to handle a full spectrum of metal types (HSS, CRS, HRS, SS, aluminium) and a wide width (2,500 mm) combined with a large coil weight capacity (35 tons), the line is suited for high-volume slitting operations. The output of up to 50 strips per coil means high granularity of slit widths and fewer mother coil changes—yielding productivity improvements. On the speed front, the 0–300 m/min capability gives you flexibility from gentle slow runs (for delicate alloys or coated products) to high-speed multistrip production when required.
Operational Flexibility & Maintenance Efficiency
Change-over capability is central: the double-slitter or turnstile head enables fast tooling swaps and width adjustments, which is essential in today’s market where batch sizes shrink and turnaround times compress. Meanwhile, the built-in smart-monitoring reduces interruption: by logging maintenance events and component wear trends, the line offers improved uptime and longer life-cycle usage. This is particularly compelling as metal-processing plants face labour shortages and aim to reduce dependency on reactive maintenance strategies.
Applications
This slitting line is ideal for service centres, metal-processing plants feeding roll-formers or press-shops, and manufacturers processing mixed materials or multiple gauges—particularly where wide mother coils and high strip counts are required. Whether the plant is running aluminium for lightweight applications, stainless for corrosion-resistant use or high-strength steel for structural parts, the system is designed to flex, adapt and deliver.
