Slitter glossary

Anyone who has spent any time in the packaging or converting industry will have noticed that not all companies and individuals use the same technical terms.  One man's unwind is another man's master roller, for example.  Naturally the lack of standardisation can cause some confusion, so as something of an experiment we have published a 'slitter glossary' on our website over at http://www.universalconvertingequipment.com/about-universal/slitter-glossary

The slitter glossary will be an ongoing project, so if you want to suggest a term then please get in touch...

Slitter and converter efficiency

Slitter efficiency is a hot topic in the converting industry; slitter rewinders are big industrial machines that traditionally have used a lot of energy in their operation.  We have recently published two press releases detailing what we're doing to help our customers reduce their energy consumption:

• Minimised energy usage – ideas for efficient winding... 
• Slitter web guiding made simpler and greener... 

Actively reducing energy useage

We have had a logo designed that we will be applying to some of our literature to declare our intention to actively reduce the amount of energy required to run the converting machinery that we develop and manufacture.
