• Machines in the range of 320mm to 640mm foil width will be considered. Minimum slit width down to 50mm.

• Trim edges down to 10mm, with collection of trim for disposal. Maximum of 8 slit widths.

• The slitting width accuracy must be better than +/- 0.2 mm.

• The slitter must collect the dust parts from slitting the coated foil.
