Powered Slitter

Bar slitting with driven rolls

Driven discs part the slitting section while matching its speed
Slitting section precisely centered by roller entry guide
Quick off-line traverse
Quick change of discs
Minimized variation between slit strands
Precise synchronization with subsequent equipment (finishing blocks, dividing cut, high-speed delivery to cooling bed)
Discs in tool steel, with lifetime more than tenfold that of slitting guides
Increase in production rates for small sizes
Greater stability at higher rolling speed compared with slitting guides
Less maintenance required than for slitting guides
