SLIT SPOOLS · ADHESIVE TAPE ON ROLLS

Slit Spools for Matched Slit Widths and Roll Lengths

Slit spools combine rewinding and slitting: suitable source material becomes roll stock with a matched slit width and roll length. Krückemeyer GmbH works with you to assess the material, dimensions and subsequent processing.

SLIT SPOOLS IN CONVERTING

How Source Material Becomes a Suitable Roll

Slit spools combine rewinding and slitting to produce the required roll stock. A narrow web alone is not enough: slit width, roll length, core and handling in the subsequent process must all be compatible. The process adapts the delivery format to your application.

Source material that can be wound and slit is converted into the agreed roll format. Material construction, slit width, roll length and core must be compatible. For adhesive tape rolls, the possible dimensions depend on the material; extreme widths and roll lengths cannot be combined as a general rule.

If you need a different winding format or simply material cut to size, we will clarify this based on your usage and processing. This results in a specific roll requirement rather than just a set of dimensions.

FROM ENQUIRY TO SLIT SPOOL

Wide roll with an unwound web as source material for the slit spool process

Step 01

Clarify Application and Source Material

Tell us what the source material is and describe how the roll will be processed later. Include the desired slit width, roll length and delivery format.

Step 02

Check Suitability and Dimensions

Krückemeyer checks the material construction, core and desired dimensions for slitting and rewinding. The source material determines which slit width and roll length are possible together.

Step 03

Agree on the Specification

Slit width, roll length and core are matched to your handling requirements. A drawing or sample can make this easier to agree.

Step 04

Slit and Rewind

Once the specification is agreed, the suitable source material is converted into the agreed roll stock. The delivery format follows the approved requirements.

DETAILS FOR YOUR SLIT SPOOL ENQUIRY

Describe the application and the desired result. Specify the source material or material construction, slit width, roll length, core, desired delivery format and planned consumption or number of units.

Details of how the roll will be processed, along with a drawing or sample if available, are helpful. We check the combination of material, dimensions and winding configuration before agreeing on a manufacturing specification.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SLIT SPOOLS

What Is a Slit Spool?

A slit spool is roll stock produced by combining slitting and rewinding during converting. Slit width and roll length are considered together for the application. The source material, core and subsequent processing determine which specification makes sense. Krückemeyer GmbH checks the specific combination before dimensions and delivery format are set.

Which Materials Are Suitable for Slit Spools?

Adhesive tapes and technical films can be used as source material for slit spools if they can be slit and wound. Material construction, core and winding format determine which slit width and roll length are possible together. Krückemeyer GmbH checks the desired specification against your source material and subsequent processing. Please provide the desired dimensions and delivery format.

What Information Does Krückemeyer Need for an Enquiry?

Specify the application, source material, desired slit width and roll length, and preferred delivery format. Details of the core, processing and planned quantity help with the specification. A drawing or sample can make the assessment easier. On this basis, we can determine whether slit spools or another roll or cut format is a better fit.
