Blue Sky Machine is pleased to announce the successful installation, technical testing, and trial operation of our high-output Double Slitter Head Slitting Line, Model BSSLD-(0.4-4.0)x1650mmx35T, at a major steel processing facility in Delhi, India.
Designed for high-capacity steel service centers that require frequent tooling transitions, this advanced slitting line incorporates dual slitter heads to dramatically minimize line idle time during knife setups.
Key Equipment Specifications
Built to handle high-tensile metal processing with heavy coil capacities, this machine features robust mechanical and electrical parameters:

- Raw Material Thickness: 0.4 mm – 4.0 mm
- Raw Material Width: 300 mm – 1650 mm
- Max. Coil Weight: 35 Tons
- Total Installed Power: 503 kW
- Power Standard: 3 Phase / 415V / 50 Hz
- Equipment Footprint: 30 m x 13 m x 3.5 m (L x W x H)
The Double Slitter Head Advantage: Maximizing Uptime
During traditional coil slitting operations, re-stacking slitting knives, rubber spacers, and strippers for new order widths can take hours of unproductive downtime.
The BSSLD Series delivered by Blue Sky Machine addresses this bottleneck with an innovative dual-head mechanism:
- Offline Tooling Setup: Operators can prepare and calibrate the secondary slitter head with new knife configurations while the first head is actively running production.
- Rapid Hydraulic Exchange: Once a coil run finishes, the line disengages the active head and hydraulically shifts the newly set head into place in minutes.
- High Arbor Rigidity: Supported by a 503 kW power system, the heavy-duty arbors ensure clean, burr-free shearing across thin-to-medium steel sheets (0.4mm - 4.0mm).
On-Site Operational Results in Delhi
During on-site trial runs in Delhi, field engineers from Blue Sky Machine worked alongside local plant operators to verify system alignment, hydraulic response, and high-speed tension recoiling.
The 35-ton capacity line demonstrated smooth performance under full load, producing tightly wound, clean-edged slitted coils ready for immediate dispatch. The client expressed immense satisfaction with the line's rapid setup capability and operational stability.
