Slitting in recycled plastic film
The plastic film processing industry participates in the circular economy to reduce the environmental foot print. Many new film products are produced with substantial content of recycled plastics.
Secure your high quality standards in agricultural films
Well engineered agricultural mulch films and bale wrapping stretch films have become increasingly important. Fierce competition in these films market has led to stronger films in terms of mechanical performance and lifetime. All efforts to produce excellent films can be lost due to poor slitting (high reels, breaking of the web and jagged edges).

Long lasting sharpness of a razorblade could have saved this roll
We are daily challenged by the innovations and problems in the film and foil industry to develop a cutting tool that corresponds to the requested properties of the film, to highest outputs and lowest manufacturing costs.
Importance of Film Slitting
Film slitting is critically important in film production, especially with state-of-the-art tough films. When performed well, slitting can provide smooth winding and less wrinkling of film. However, poor cuts can generate a series of many negative effects.
