Slitter Performance: Problems and Solutions, 1990 Finishing and Converting Conference Proceedings
The purpose of slitting is to produce marketable goods. Problems encountered during the slitting process often reduce the marketability of the product, reduce sales and profit, create waste, and perhaps even a reputation for poor quality resulting in loss of customers. As products and processes change, so do customer expectations. The ability to understand the exact cause of a slitter problem and what to do to correct it will ensure a continued share of an increasingly competitive market.
