CIDAN Machinery manufactures slit and cut to length lines that can be programed and operated by skilled and unskilled users alike. Our coil processing cut-to-length machines are all-in-one units built to withstand high-level production over the course of time while taking up as little space as possible.
CIDAN Machinery provides many of their cutting edge features on their slitting machines. Features include straightening units, a sheet guide for infeed’s, guillotine shears with hold down beam, double-edged blades, feeding units, foot pedals for remote feeding, and more.
In order to provide the world’s best technological options, CIDAN Machinery has partnered with fellow worldwide leader in slit and cut to length machines, Forstner Machinery.
Since 1960, Forstner has been developing and manufacturing machines for professional coil processing. Forstner’s attention to detail and industry leading innovations have made them a worldwide slit and cut to length leader. Forstner machines are designed to take the coil set out of material of varying thickness. Our global partnership has provided us the opportunity to bring some of their best machines to you – MST, KA6, and KA6-110.
Coil processing involves the slitting and shearing of sheet metal coils. Coils are the wide rolls of sheet metal. Coils are used in various industries outside of construction such as food and beverage, electronics, automotive, tools, and container manufacturing.
Slitting is the process of taking the wide sheet metal rolls and cutting them lengthwise into narrower strips or rolls. Multiple specialty blades are used to cut these sheets. Cut to length steel is normally shipped flat stacked. Cut to length refers to the cutting of the uncoiled sections of flat rolled steel to the needed length.
