When your company has need of rubber cutting, there are a few options for you to choose from. You can either purchase a rubber cutting machine and bringing the service in-house, or employing the services of a rubber cutting specialist.

Rubber slitting machines cut down on waste and work much more quickly than manually cutting rubber. Reduced waste and increased production time both equate to higher profits. When purchasing a rubber slitting machine, look for one that provides you with the most options such as different slitting methods, speeds, tension ranges and the diameter of rolls it allows. Consider the following as your research rubber cutting options:

1. Work directly with rubber slitter manufacturers

2. Purchase used machinery

3. Contract with rubber slitting service providers



Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Purchase rubber slitting machinery direct from the manufacturer


Purchasing rubber slitting equipment from the manufacturer will help to ensure that you get machinery that will perform to your exact specifications. Purchasing from the manufacturer cuts out the middle man which saves you money.

I recommend: Pinnacle Converting is a rubber slitter manufacturer that offers a variety of machines with low cost options for your rubber cutting needs. They provide literature online for your convenience of researching rubber cutters. Buckeye Machine is another manufacturer of rubber cutting machines.

Buy a used rubber slitter


Refurbished rubber slitters are often as good in quality as a new machine. Purchasing refurbished equipment will allow you to save money and get the rubber slitting equipment you need to be successful.

I recommend: International Rolling Mills is a rubber cutter distributor that carries both used and new rubber slitters. IRM has consultants available to work with you and help you determine the best machinery for your business requirements. Margot is another rubber slitter vendor that deals with used machinery. Margot is a marketplace for companies to buy and sell equipment.

Work with a rubber slitting service provider


Work with a rubber slitting service provider when it is not practical for your business to bring this service in house. Many companies offer a range of services from slitting to die cutting, which allow you to fulfill several needs in one place.

I recommend: Frank Lowe is a service provider that specializes in rubber slitting, as well as die cutting and laminating. They are a trusted company that has been in business for over 50 years, and have ISO certification. Plitek is another company that specializes in rubber slitting, among many other services. Plitek also as ISO certifications.
