Stainless Steel Slitting Lines
Industrial Slitting Lines for Precision Coil Processing
KORE Machinery slitting lines are engineered to convert wide master coils into precise strip widths for demanding industrial applications. Designed for high accuracy, throughput, and material control, these systems support manufacturers and service centers that require consistent coil processing performance.
With the capacity to handle coil weights up to 80,000 lbs. (35,000 kg) and strip widths as wide as 96″ (2438 mm), our machinery is versatile. Even with strip thicknesses up to .630″ (16mm), we guarantee production speeds of up to 1,000 ft/min (300 mpm). Our machines are adept at processing various materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, cold-rolled, hot-rolled, and surface-treated variants.
From stainless steel to aluminum and coated materials, our slitting solutions deliver repeatable precision while minimizing scrap and protecting surface quality throughout the slitting process.
What Slitting Lines Do
A slitting line feeds coiled metal through precision slitter heads to produce multiple strips of consistent width. Controlled tension, leveling, and recoiling ensure dimensional accuracy while maintaining material integrity.
This process allows processors to transform master coils into usable strip stock for downstream forming, stamping, roll forming, and fabrication operations — improving workflow efficiency while reducing waste.
Modern slitting lines are built for high-speed operation without sacrificing precision, making them essential equipment for facilities that demand reliable coil processing.
