GravoSlit Drum

Drum slitting for every laminate

A 300 metre per minute drum slitter that handles every multilayer laminate, from aluminium foils to polyester films to paper based laminates.

Intro

It is a drum slitting machine designed to make ready to dispatch reels from every type of multilayer laminate, through a precise, automated and highly controlled system. It works on surface and centre winding on a stable drum, holding quality from the first metre onward.

Built by Narendra Gravure, the GravoSlit Drum handles delicate and heavy laminates alike, so one machine covers most of what the floor produces, as a reliable, repeatable and job specific solution today.
Advantages

Key features and benefits

01
Every laminate
One drum, all materials

Handles aluminium foils, polyester films and paper based laminates alike, so a single machine covers most of what the floor produces.

02
Drum stability
Repeatable slitting

Surface winding on a stable centre drum lets soft and delicate materials be handled carefully and slit repeatably.

03
Clean edges
Razor-in-groove slitting

Razor in groove slitting and a high pressure suction blower for trim removal keep cuts clean and edges undamaged across materials.

04
Built in house
Made and proven under one roof

Every GravoSlit Drum is designed, fabricated, assembled and tested on our own VMC, CNC and grinding machines, so the people who built it support it.

One machine, drum slitting in line

GravoSlit Drum integrates a floating unwind, a stable centre drum, razor slitting and trim removal into a single closed loop machine, working as a complete system to hold quality across the run.

Complete GravoSlit Drum build process

01
Specification and technical definition

The project begins with a detailed specification of the machine from Narendra Gravure’s technical office, in coordination with your production team. At this stage the configuration is matched to your substrates and structures, and the mechanical and electrical drawings for in house manufacturing are generated.

02
Manufacturing

The machine is produced through an in house process focused on precision and quality control. Our VMC, CNC and grinding machines ensure repeatability, reliability and a consistent result, reducing deviations compared with bought in assemblies.

03
Installation

Installation is simple and efficient: the machine is commissioned on your floor through an agile and uncertainty free start up, thanks to prior testing and the preparation of drawings and documentation, contributing to a cleaner and safer route into full production.

GravoSlit Drum for your line

It can be integrated into lines developed by third parties. Based on your existing layout, or with support from our technical office, we adapt the machine to slot into your line, ready to install and run.

We analyse the technical fit and define the best way to integrate it, maintaining control over timelines, cost and finished quality.

FAQs
What can GravoSlit Drum slit?

All types of multilayer laminate used in flexible packaging, from aluminium foils to polyester films to paper based laminates.

What technologies are built into GravoSlit Drum?

Surface and centre winding on a stable drum, a floating unwind, razor in groove slitting and closed loop SIEMENS PLC control, with 45 mm plate frames from our own CNC and VMC machines.

Why a drum configuration?

The centre drum keeps slitting stable and repeatable across a wide range of materials, so one machine covers most everyday work.

Is GravoSlit Drum supported after installation?

Yes. It is supported directly by Narendra Gravure after installation, with remote diagnostics, spare parts and the same in house team that designed and built the machine.
