Slitting Line for 8–96 in Wide Coil | American Steel Products, Toledo, USA

American Steel Products's Slitting Line cuts a wide master coil into several narrower coils, known as mults, to set widths. It is built around three main parts: an uncoiler, a slitter and a recoiler.

The line is offered for coils from 8 in to 96 in wide, 5 t to 60 t in weight and material from 0.006 in to 1.00 in thick. Speeds of 100–2,000 ft/min are achievable depending on material thickness and yield strength. Lines are built to order, and the range also includes used lines.

Key Features

• Uncoiler available as a dual cone type for heavy gauges or a single-end expanding mandrel type for heavy or light gauges
• Coil loading by pusher ramp, or by turnstyle and coil car
• Optional flattener and leveler where downstream flatness is critical
• Rotary knives on two parallel arbors, with rubber stripper rings to give a burr-free edge
• Scrap winder takes up the edge trim
• Optional looping pit for very thin material, plus a tension stand ahead of the recoiler
• Expanding mandrel recoiler with overarm separator discs to stop narrow coils interleaving, and banding of finished mults
