Roll Slitting and Contract Slitting to Your Specifications

Gotthardt Isolierteile GmbH is your reliable partner for precision roll slitting. With a state-of-the-art machine park and extensive expertise, we offer flexible solutions for processing web-based materials: from paper and films to composite materials and foams.

What is roll slitting and how does it work?

Roll slitting is a process in which web-based materials are cut into specific widths and diameters. At GOBA, we use the shear cutting principle, where the material is separated by two circular blades moving past each other. This enables precise processing with a width tolerance of +/- 0.1 mm.

Highly efficient machine park

  • Hydraulic lifting devices for master rolls up to 1,000 kg
  • Automatic blade positioning for quick adjustment of different slitting widths
  • Slitting speeds of up to 400 m/minute (material-dependent)
  • Laser-assisted positioning of roll cores for smooth operation

The slit strips are automatically pushed onto a handling removal stand, ensuring seamless transitions between slitting operations.

Flexibility in slitting widths and formats

We produce slit rolls in widths from 5 mm to 1,600 mm. The rolls can be wound on cores with an inner core diameter of 25 mm, 55 mm, 76 mm, or 152 mm. This flexibility allows us to meet your specific requirements.

Advantages of roll slitting

  • Greater flexibility: Adaptation to individual customer requirements
  • Precision: Width tolerances of +/- 0.1 mm for the highest quality
  • Efficiency: Automated processes for fast turnaround times

Contract slitting: you supply the material, we provide the technology

With our contract slitting service, we offer you a cost-effective solution. You provide the roll material, and we produce precision slit rolls up to 1,600 mm width on a per-order basis.

  • Converting processes: Trimming, re-rolling, and winding onto various core sizes
  • High quality standards: Optimally wound rolls with consistent winding tension
  • Fast turnaround times: Ideal for urgent orders

Tailored solutions

We offer you complete flexibility in processing your materials. Thanks to our modern slitting machines and precise alignment with your specifications, we produce rolls that exactly meet your requirements: whether it concerns running lengths, outer diameters, or specific strip widths.

Knowledge from our glossary

Technical fundamentals and term explanations on this topic.

  • Roll Slitting

    Roll slitting is a process for precisely cutting web-form materials from master rolls into specific widths and running lengths.

  • Rewind Slitting

    Rewind slitting is a manufacturing process in which material rolls are divided by rotating cutting tools into precise longitudinal or cross sections.

  • Knife Shaft

    The knife shaft is a central mechanical component for precise cutting processes in industries such as paper, textile and packaging technology.

  • Winding Shaft

    A winding shaft is a mechanical component for winding and unwinding materials in the paper, film and metal processing industries.

  • Web Edge Guiding
