Roll Paper Cutting Equipment: Saws, Slitters

Roll paper cutting equipment is essential in industries like packaging, printing, and paper manufacturing. Different machines are designed to handle specific cutting needs, ensuring precision, efficiency, and minimal material waste. This guide explores the most common types of roll paper cutting machines—saws, slitters, and sheeters—covering their definitions, applications, and key technical parameters.

Paper Saws

A paper saw is a heavy-duty machine that cuts large-diameter paper rolls into smaller widths or sections using a circular or band saw blade.

Applications:

Cutting jumbo rolls in paper mills

Trimming defective edges

Customizing roll widths for downstream processing

Key Parameters:

Max Roll Diameter: Up to 2,000mm

Cutting Speed: 10–30m/min

Blade Type: Tungsten carbide or diamond-tipped

Precision: ±1mm

Slitter Rewinders

Slitters are precision machines that longitudinally cut wide rolls into narrower strips while rewinding them onto new cores.

Applications:

Converting master rolls into customer-specific widths

Producing labels, tapes, and flexible packaging

Processing films, foils, and non-wovens
Key Parameters:

Max Web Width: 1,000–3,500mm

Slitting Speed: 50–800m/min

Slitting Methods: Razor, shear, or score cutting

Tolerance: ±0.1mm

Sheeters (Cut-to-Length Machines)

Definition: Sheeters cut rolled paper into precise sheets of predetermined lengths, commonly used for printing or packaging.
Applications:

Producing A4/A3 office paper

Manufacturing carton blanks

Creating bookbinding materials
Key Parameters:

Sheet Length: 200–1,500mm

Cutting Speed: 100–300 cycles/min

Knife Type: Rotary or guillotine

Accuracy: ±0.5mm
