Frequently Asked Questions

What is a slitting line machine?

A slitting line machine is industrial equipment that cuts wide metal coils into narrower strips of precise widths using rotary knives. The process involves decoiling, straightening, slitting, tension control, and recoiling.

What is the difference between a slitting line and cut to length line?

Slitting lines cut coils into narrower strips (longitudinal cut), output remains in coil form. CTL lines cut coils into flat sheets (cross-cut). Choose slitting for strips, CTL for sheets.

What is a hydraulic expansion mandrel?

A hydraulic expansion mandrel uses hydraulic pressure to expand and securely grip the coil's inner diameter, enabling fast loading/unloading (under 2 minutes) and safe handling of heavy coils.

Why is tension control important in recoilers?

Proper tension ensures tight, uniform coils without telescoping. Under-tension causes loose, collapsing coils; over-tension causes stretching and surface damage.

Does Friend Engineering Works provide custom equipment?

Yes, we specialize in custom coil processing equipment designed for specific capacities, materials, line integration, and operational requirements.
