Tape Roll Slitter Rewinder In Kenya

Tape rolls slitting rewinding machine

Tape roll slitter rewinder is the core machine in tape converting, transforming large jumbo rolls into finished consumer/industrial rolls.

1. What It Does (The Process)?

Unwinds a master roll (e.g., 1.5m wide, 1m diameter).

Slits it lengthwise into multiple narrow strips.

Rewinds these strips onto individual cores, producing multiple finished rolls (e.g., 50mm wide, 80mm diameter).

2.Material (Tape Type):

Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Tapes: (e.g., packaging, masking, double-sided, medical). This is the most common use. Requires excellent tension control for consistent adhesive layering and tight rolls.

Film/Substrate: Plain PVC, PET, PP, BOPP films (without adhesive).

Specialty: Duct tape (cloth-backed), foil tapes, foam tapes, transfer tapes.

3.Master Roll (Jumbo Roll) Dimensions:

Max width (e.g., 1300mm, 1600mm)

Max diameter (e.g., 1000mm) and weight (e.g., 1500kg).

4.Finished Roll Requirements:

Slit Widths: Smallest and largest width you need? How often do you change widths?

Core Inner Diameter (ID): 1", 3", 76mm?

Finished Roll Outer Diameter (OD): e.g., 50mm, 80mm, 200mm.

Roll Quality: Need very hard rolls (like packing tape) or softer winds?

Production Speed & Volume:

Desired output (e.g., meters/minute or rolls/shift).

Is this for R&D/sampling, medium batch, or high-volume 24/7 production?

5. FAQs

Q1: What materials can this tape slitter rewinder process?

A1: It can process most flexible web materials. The main materials are BOPP pressure-sensitive packing tape, masking tape, double-sided tape, medical tape, non-adhesive BOPP, PET, PVC and PP film. It also supports special tapes such as cloth duct tape, aluminum foil tape, foam tape and transfer adhesive tape.

Q2: Can I change the slitting width frequently on this machine?

A2: Yes. The knife group structure supports flexible width adjustment. Frequent specification changes are available. If you need frequent width switching, we can optimize the knife holder configuration to shorten the changeover time.

Q3: What core sizes does this machine support?

A3: Standard options include 1 inch, 3 inch and 76mm inner diameter cores. Other special core sizes can be customized upon request.

Q4: What is the difference between hard winding and soft winding?

A4: Hard winding produces tight, compact rolls, ideal for BOPP packaging tape, saving storage space and preventing deformation. Soft winding is used for soft materials like foam tape, to avoid crushing the substrate or squeezing out adhesive.

Q5: Can this machine run 24 hours non-stop for mass production?

A5: Yes, the heavy-duty version supports 24/7 continuous production. The standard version fits medium batch production and laboratory sample making. You can select the machine configuration according to your actual output requirement.

Q6: How is the tension control system?

A6: Equipped with automatic constant tension control during unwinding and rewinding. It keeps stable tension, effectively prevents web stretching, tape curling, loose rolls and adhesive edge oozing.
