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
