In recent years, along with the development of Chinese flexible packaging machinery industry, plastic film slitter rewinders are of key importance in the slitting and quality control of packaging products. Slitting process is the last procedure of wide-width film production line or post-printing processing, a film slitting machine manufactured by a reputable China plastic film slitter like LEAP can supply roll materials with accurate slitting/rewinding results and good winding appearance.
In the past, there was a large gap between China film slitter supplier and international slitter manufacturers such as KAMPF, ATLAS, TITAN, etc. For decades now, with the increased market demand and fierce competition, plastic film slitter domestically manufactured gradually tend to replace slitters of foreign brands. Primary slitting equipment is mainly used for wide-width film slitting applications, in this field many enterprises in Europe and small number of Chinese suppliers control the major market in China. For secondary slitter, there are many different brands of slitters from Europe, Japan, China in the market, depending on their own advantages and development directions, supply the services for specific customer groups.
Despite the great improvement, some Chinese slitter rewinder manufacturers still have many problems in production process. Generally, assembly of parts and components are provided by several outsourcing suppliers, and the quality of whole slitting machinery is hard to control. For instance, mechanical working precision is not stable enough, guiding roller has defects in dynamic balance or static balance, rubber roller has poor performance in wear and aging resistance, bearings rotating accuracy can’t reach desired demands. Relatively, due to the narrow width of processing and lower difficulty in manufacturing process, secondary slitting machines have fewer problems than primary slitting machines.
Most of plastic slitter manufacturers are short of compound specialists who know both manufacturing technology and cutting technology. The cutting machine has become more and more differentiated, and equipment vendors frequently face various property of materials and cutting requirements. It will have effects on not only final equipment configuration but also control curves, such as the size of the roller diameter, thickness and hardness of the coating rubber, wrapping angle of the roller surface, and the matching of drive roller and passive roller.
Many Chinese slitter suppliers lack incentives to innovate, addictions in copying and imitating foreign products. Break the intellectual property owned by others, go in for short-term benefits while greatly limit the future development of enterprises. We should introduce foreign advanced technology and the experience, use our own advantages to produce personalized first-class film cutting machines.
Along with the development of packaging machinery, there are increasingly high demands on automatic control system. More and more new technologies have been applied to packaging machinery manufacturing industry, mainly include microelectronics, new sensor technology, information processing technology, new material technology and microcomputer technology, etc. The combination of these technologies and traditional industrial control system can greatly improve the intelligent level of film slitting machines in factory.
Film slitting machines are often used in high-stress conditions, so each part of slitter must not only meet the rising requirement of machining accuracy, but also need to accord with the high standard of mechanical performance during the producing process. Besides, reasonable design of base frame structure can also satisfy the demand of accuracy and even reduce manufacturing cost.
More and more customized structure design of film slitting machines become the development trend of future. Market in China is becoming more segmentation according to various slitting materials. The benefit is that the factory can concentrate limited human and material resources into target markets. We must stand on the position of customers for considering and understanding what clients really need, and then discovery market changes and demands, that’s the only way to be a best film slitter rewinder manufacturer in China.
