Turret Head™ Slitters set up faster, change heads faster, and occupy less floor space than any other Slitter Design.

Turret Head™ Slitters can be re-tooled faster with less fatigue than with any other quick-change slitter, because neither base nor frames impede access to the arbors.

Scrap Handling: A pair of Scrap Winders, one on each side of the looping pit, efficiently handles scrap side trim. The rugged Winders are easy to thread, operate efficiently throughout the .015" through 1/4" gauge range, unload the scrap bundle by pushbutton, and offer bullet-proof reliability.

Pair of rugged Winders offers bullet-proof reliability with virtually zero maintenance cost.

Exit End: The Lafayette Steel Slitting Line is equipped with a Tensioner that generates strip tension required to wind tight straight-wall slit coils. Strip tension is adjustable and regulated from the main operator console. Entry strip separator tooling is secured on a lightweight aluminum alloy arbors that exchange with pre-tooled arbors in 60-seconds. Tension Pads are also exchanged in 60-seconds.

Exit end equipment generates strip tension, rigidly supports the Overarm Separator and Threading Funnel, and provides strip tracking to the Recoiler.

The Overarm Separator is rigidly mounted onto the Exit Unit frame to eliminate Overarm frame deflection and resulting misalignment that causes coil side-wall scuffing and coil oscillation. A quick-change "swing-out" Overarm arbor allows pre-tooled arbors to be exchanged in 2-minutes. A Hydraulic Threading Funnel directs slit strips from the Exit Pass Line Roll into the Recoiler gripper bar during threading.

Compact High Pass Line provides superb slit-strip tracking, regardless of strip width, gauge, or number of cuts.

Recoiler: A 250-HP 2-ratio Recoiler is equipped with a massive Recoiler drum manufactured from custom forged 2" thick segments hardened to Rc 58. A 3" diameter solid steel gripper bar grips slit strips against a heat-treated serrated steel anvil. The Recoiler drum is mounted on the 14" diameter output shaft of a 250-HP 1.2 service factor parallel shaft helical gear reducer.

Massive 250-HP, 2-Ratio Recoiler has a 14" diameter main shaft and a full-face ground surface coil pushoff.

Unique swing-out Overarm arbor allows pre-tooled Overarm arbor exchange to be accomplished in minutes.

Quality, Productivity, Bullet-Proof Reliability, know-how from building nearly 600 Slitting Lines, plus outstanding technical support made Lafayette Steel Sales' selection of a Braner/Loopco Turret Head™ Slitting Line over all others a "no-brainer".
