ZT1600×4 slitting line is a high-efficiency, fully automated machine designed for longitudinal cutting of metal coils such as hot-rolled and galvanized steel. Equipped with a PLC intelligent control system, hydraulic shearing, tension control, and automatic recoiling units, the line ensures precise cutting, easy operation, and scratch-free surfaces. It can handle coil widths up to 1600mm and thicknesses ranging from 0.4 to 4.0mm, making it ideal for various industrial applications, especially as a front-end processing line for welded pipe production. With a compact layout (approx. 30×12 meters) and a total installed power of 300KW, this slitting line offers high performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness


I. Operating Conditions
Power Supply: Voltage AC 380V; Frequency 50Hz
II. Equipment Purpose
This slitting line is mainly used for longitudinal cutting of steel coils, providing strip material for welded pipe production lines.
- PLC control system, hydraulic shearing, and localized automation via hydraulic units.
- Constant tension cutting (active or passive modes) adjustable by material and thickness; precise tension regulation.
- No scratches or surface damage on the steel strip.
- Optimized mechanical processes and short auxiliary production time for high efficiency and productivity.
