HeavySlit® Slitter

HeavySlit generally comes in two different designs:

• with swivel winder
• with horizontally movable winder

Every HeavySlit features very short material transport paths and a highly precise slitting device, equipped with either shear-cut or rotary shear-cut technology. Material feeding and finished roll handling are highly customizable.

A variety of useful automation and process engineering options allows the system to be easily adapted to individual customer requirements. Examples include:

• Rewinding design with removal handling for re-reeling
• Material threading device
• Media applicator
• Single contact roller system (Achenbach-patented)
• Blade mounting aids, adjustment aids and loading aids
• Various types of spool positioning devices such as core box or laser positioning

• Speeds: up to 1,000 m/min
• Foil thicknesses: 30 µm to 600 µm
• Rewinding diameters: up to 2,000 mm
• Coil weights: up to 15,000 kg

• Adaptive rewinding and pressure system with four operation modes
• Stable, highly precise slitting cassette with optional axial micro-adjustment
• Patented single contact roller system at the rewinder 
• Integrated oil applicator with individually adjustable oil application rollers 
• Rewinding concept mechanically decoupled from the main machine
• Automatic integration of following further processing and packaging systems
• Quick changing device for winding shafts 

The slitter type HeavySlit produces finished rolls as the starting material for end products such as:

• Heat exchanger fins
• Tube stock
• Semi-rigid food containers
• Closure stock

 The cloud-based platform Achenbach OPTILINK® opens the way to the overall system networking of the various value creation stages and therefore to the optimization of the entire production process. 

As a system provider, Achenbach follows an integrative approach by offering installation-wide solutions that incorporate multiple individual components. This single source concept lets us design a production process that is optimally tailored to your needs, from rolling to slitting to further processing.
