New & Used Slitters for Sale

Slitters cut wide coil into the narrower strips a roll former, gutter machine or folder needs. Gang slitters such as the Gary 48-inch units pass a sheet or coil through a set of circular knives on a shaft and are the usual choice for a trim shop cutting blanks from flat sheet. Coil slitting lines such as the Krasser Legionnaire and Centurio add a decoiler, straightener, automatic knife positioning and a guillotine or beam shear, and they let a roofing fabricator buy master coil and cut every width in house.The listings here show working width, maximum thickness, number of knife pairs and whether the machine is a stand-alone slitter or a complete line. Krasser’s Legionnaire is rated by its distributor at a 49.2-inch width, roughly 100 feet per minute, and coil capacity around 11,000 lb; used 2014 and 2016 Legionnaire 1250 machines have been listed on this site at $48,000 and $90,000, and a 2020 Centurio 1250 was offered in Germany at €129,000 ex works.Check the knives first. Chipped, dull or mismatched knife sets leave burrs and camber in the strip, and replacement knife sets are a real cost. Then look at the arbors and bearings for play, the straightener rolls for wear, and the control or optimization software for version and vendor support.
