Tape Slitting



Brown International Limited offers ‘slit to width’ capabilities for customers seeking custom width roles of pressure sensitive adhesive tapes. We can convert your adhesive tape into rolls that meet your customised requirements.



Brown International Limited has several pieces of equipment that slit rolls to custom width. Material may be razor-cut, crush-cut or baloney slit. In the baloney slitting process, the blade may or may not be rotating, depending on the material needing to be cut. Also, the blade may require a water cooling substance during the slitting process to reduce heat. A single operator runs this machine; and once a cut is made, the machine traverses down the log to make another cut.



Razor cut slitting is a process that uses single blades. Material is pulled through the stationary blades, making precise cuts.



Crush cut or score slitting is a process whereby circular knives are pressed against a steel cylinder or mandrel with material being pulled through, between the knives and the mandrel. Score cutting is more appropriate for materials of uneven thickness while razor slitting is best suited for films and thinner materials with consistent thickness.



The logs of tape may vary in length, so you are able to design the most appropriate length and width for your application needs. Rolls of tape can be slit to meet the customer’s requirements.
