The graphics market continues to have a demand for cut-sheet pressure-sensitive products, but many legacy equipment manufacturers are no longer making the necessary slitting equipment for cut-sheets given the greater move to roll-fed imaging. Cut-sheet items such as labels and decals comprised of layers of paper, adhesive, and a liner require the partial-slit for ease of application, once the product reaches the end user.
Rollem International (Booth N503) has become the leading provider of “kisscutting” — or partial slitting equipment — in the US and Europe. The patented technology on the Rollem Semi-Slitting machine is a unique rotary spring-loaded, pressure-sensitive cutting head that automatically adjusts to the cutting surface. A 4" hardened concentric roller stabilizes and supports the width of any sheet. This positive control eliminates high and low cutting points, ensuring precision and consistency. The cutting head performs equally well on either the liner side or printed side of the product.
Exceptional stability and control, extreme speeds, and a simple setup that requires no skilled labor translates to greater profitability for your enterprise, even with multiple sizes and thicknesses of paper. Rollem offers the largest range of semi-slitters on the market today, with five model sizes, 18", 24", 30", 36", and 42" widths. If a product requires perforating, slitting, or scoring, a double head model is available.
