THE SLITTER AND REWINDER

(Note: Every different diameter of a paper can requires a different diameter mandrel for both the tube winder and the tube cutter, also a different size die for the cover and bottom.)

The large paper manufacturers—those who specialize in coarse papers—supply various kinds of paper in large rolls which is suitable for the making of paper cans. The Langston slitter and rewinder will handle a roll of paper any width up to 48 inches (according to the width of the machine) and will cut this paper and rewind it into small rolls from one and one-half inches to six inches wide. These small rolls are then ready for the tube winder.
