Duplex slitter or single slitter is used to cut tinplate sheets into can body blank of require size in can making industry, also named as tinplate slitter or tinplate slitting machine. Whether duplex slitting machine or single slitting machine, they also can be used to slit the aluminum sheets for metal works industry. In the fully automatic can making line, the transfer system to connect double slitter and can body welder is available, the cut blanks are fed to blank magazine on roll forming station of can body welder from double slitting machine. The rotary gang slitter can be equipped with carbide roller cutters, then the gang slitting machine is more endurable.
The tinplate sheet slitter is the first station of the can making line. It is used to cut the tinplate sheet or stainless steel sheet as can body blanks of required size or strips for can ends. The duplex slitter or single slitter made by GR are versatile, precise and robust. For the single slitting machine, it is suitable for strip dividing and trimming, and for the duplex slitting machine, it is horizontal cutting with vertical cutting. When the tinplate shearing machine is running, the upper cutter and lower cutter are rolling on the both side of printed and lacquered metal sheets, the quantity of slitting cutters is based on the number of strips and blank formats. The distance between each cutter is easy and swift to adjust, so the type of tinplate cutting machine is also named as gang slitter or gang slitting machine. The carbide cutter is available for the canmaker. Before the duplex slitting machine or single slitting machine, the automatic sheet feeder is equipped to suck and convey tinplate by sucking disc with pneumatic system and double sheet detection device. After shearing, the collector and stacker can automatically output, and the transfer between slitter and canbody welder is also available. GS-D or GS-S series automatic tinplate slitting machine with tinplate cutter is your good choice when you select tinplate shear.
The duplex slitting machine consists of
1 Underframe of tinplate cutting line
The new design of our slitting machine for can making industry is equipped with underframe, each station is fixed on the underframe, so the machine is more stable in running, more stable during shipping delivery, when the slitter reaches the customer’s factory, the customer just needs to connect each part by screws, not necessary to complete complex work of installation and adjustment.
2 Electric and pneumatic system of tinplate slitting line
The automatic double slitter for tinplate is controlled by electric box and pneumatic system, the electric and pneumatic device is international brand.
3 Machine frame of sheet cutter
The slitter frame wall is made of cast iron, it is totally different from the common steel of like product, more stable and more endurable.
4 Gang roller cutters of metal sheet cutting line
The roller cutter is the blade used to cut the tinplate, there are SKD blade and carbide blade for selection.
How does the automatic duplex slitter work?
1 Automatic loading and feeding
The loading station can support stacks of tinplate sheets, ensure the continuous production. And the sucker will suck the tinplate and feed the sheets to the next station by the chain with push dog.
2 Vertical Slitting
The first slitting station is used to cut the tinplate as strip, and trim the edge of tinplate sheet. The roller cutters are adjustable depending on the required quantity of strip.
3 Conveying and positioning
Between the first slitting station and loading feeder, there is a conveying station with chain to push and position the tinplate, and between the first slitting station and the second slitting station, there is another conveying table to change the conveying direction of tinplate strips, then push and position the tinplate strip to the next slitting station.
4 Horizontal slitting
The second station is used to cut the tinplate strip as piece based on the required can body blank and trim the edge of tinplate piece.
5 Collecting and stacking
When the tinplate is totally cut, on each channel, the tinplate is collected on the table as stacks, and when the stacks of tinplate are full, the double slitting machine can push out the tinplate piece by button.
Advantages
1 Dual slitting machine for tinplate or metal sheets is equipped with double sheet detection.
2 Dual slitter can be controlled remotely, reducing the labor intensity and improving the production efficiency.
3 Fast and easy to change sheet format and size, and cost effective
Applications
The can making slitter is not only used in can making industry, it also can be used widely in metal works industry.
1 Metal printing or metal decorating factory
2 Can maker factory, including can body production, can end production
3 Metal work factory, like aluminum billboard, aluminum nameplate etc. advertise industry
