D. Assembly
To make it load conveniently into containers, some parts are disassembly . So need to
assembly them first.
1. Press and pinch device + looper

2. Tension stand + tension flap plate

 3. Install the tension stand roller cylinder

E. Installation
1. Prepare the foundation working as per the foundation drawing supplied by the seller.
（When finished , please share the foundation photos to suppliers to check if the civil
work is correct)
2. If everything is ready, then put the machine to each place one by one as per the layout
drawing to check if all the holes are match the holes on-ground. If match, then put the
specific size anchor bolts on the machine like the attached photo.
(A.the decoiler and coil car and supporting arm
B.recoiler and coil car and supporting arm.
they can do at last step to make the center line, detailed requirements reference as
point 5 )
 (Note: All the anchor bolts are in the steel box bottom).

3. Like the attached drawing Photo 2 (From left to right, they are decoiler to recoiler).

Photo 2

3.1 put the hydraulic station near the tension stand and recoiler base drive .
 1# distributor (4 valves: Decoiler press arm, decoiler supporting arm , entry coil car,
decoiler expand and shrink ) --------near decoiler

 2# distributor (3 valves: Shove plate lifting, Straight head lifting , hydraulic cutter
lifting ) --------near press and pinch device

 3# distributor (4 valves: bridge 1 lifting , slitter frame, scrap winder plate, bridge 2
lifting )--------near slitter driven base

 4# distributor (2 valves: tension plate lifting, tension roller lifting )--------near tension
stand

3.2 And the 3 Electrical control panel(T1, T2, G1),

 T1 controlled decoiler , put near press and pinch device,
 T2 panel put near the tension stand,
 G1 electrical panel put in the middle of pit center line

4. When all the machine at their position, mark the center for each machine parts. ( roller
center, cutter blades center, pit 1 width center , pit 2 width center , plate center, table
center, etc) And pull a center-line for whole line , make each machine on same center-
line, like the photo 2 layout drawing .
This is very very important!!! As if machine not on same center-line, it will influence
the slitting and recoiling quality .

5. For the decoiler and entry coil car, recoiler and exit coil car, also need make sure they
are on same center-line.

5.1 For the exit coil car, it should put on the rail way . (Like the attached pic 1). Please
don’t weld the railway on ground first .

 Put the entry coil car and exit coil car on the railway, and move to the directly
below the decoiler and recoiler.

 Pull the lines on decoiler and recoiler like the pic 2, check the car center as per the
fall down lines .

 Can adjust the rail way a little, or the car a little , must ensure the coil cars are on the
center line of decoiler and recoiler center.

 Once the center line is confirmed , then can weld the railway on ground finally.
(Pic 1)

(Pic 2)
5.2 For the recoiler supporting arm, should be installed finally . After install the recoiler
and exit coil car,then fix the supporting arm to make it to support the recoiler properly .
Please check if recoiler is expand to its max OD . If not , then need connect the hydraulic
system for recoiler expand and shrink to make it expand max OD . Then move the
supporting arm to its proper position to make it 100% support the recoiler .
6. Slitter drive base are disassembly , so need assembly with its driven device.(should
put the slitter part and drive base in one center line)
a. Please clear all the connecting shafts (2 pcs)in the steel box (spare parts boxes)
b. For the slitter machine, please install the 2pcs connect shafts like below
photos(can connect the 1 square shaft first and then fine-tuning the anchor bolt to
fix machine on ground ).

7. Once all the machine are 100% confirm on same center-line, then can do the second
irrigation. (need the strong enough concrete, or concrete with stones and sands mixing)

8. Then wait for 4-5 days until concrete is dry enough.

Hydraulic system
9. When waiting the concrete dry, can start the hydraulic system installation.

Kindly note, as before delivery, all the cylinders are tested with oil. So please be
careful the oil will be spurt out when connect the soft pipe on cylinders.
9.1. There are 2 main pipes , one connect to Oil out on hydraulic station, another
connect to Oil return back to hydraulic station

9.2. From main pipes to each distributors, it should use this 3-mouth joints to
connect.(Don’t forget put the seal rings into each joints)

9.3. Connection between hydraulic station to distributors

9.4.
On hydraulic cylinder side, mainly use the soft pipe to connect. And hydraulic valve
side, use the hard oil pipe to connect. If some difficult angle , it can also use the soft
pipe to connect.

9.5. For the recoiler press arm , upper cylinder mouth should connect to the upper
valves, down cylinder mouth connect to the down valves. UP to UP , DOWN to
DOWN. Otherwise will easily damage the press arm cylinder .
Can take the photos to contact supplier about the detailed connection.

Electrical system
10. After hydraulic system is ready, then next start the electrical system. Please take a
reference of the electrical drawings and photos .
Please remove all the grounding line , and turn off the power supply when do
welding work !!!!
otherwise will damage the electrical parts.
Any questions, contact the supplier.

Install the sensor in pit 1

 This sensor is install in pit 1 , the pit between the press and pinch device and slitter.

 Mark the pit width center for both sides, and install the sensor around 1.5m height

from the bottom.

 Must ensure the 2 sensors can be antitheses to each other.

 If the bridge lift down will closed the sensor, then dig a hole on bridge to ensure the

sensors not blocked by anything.

 This sensor is used to control the feed speed. When the material block the two

sensors , it will slow the speed. If sensor don’t feel any material, it will increase the

feed speed.
 Install the looper bridges
Please weld the square pipe below to the bridge that marked position (around 800mm
-850mm place from the head , cannot be too short, otherwise the cylinder cannot open
to its max position. )
1.1. Marked the center of the square pipe, then weld the below long cylinder to that
square pipe center. Another side fixed in the pit (please take a reference of the
layout)

1.2. Then start install the another side of hydraulic cylinder to the pit.
Recoiler Press arm pressure :
Method: 1. When test the hydraulic cylinders, please first lift up
the recoiler press arm
2. If the press arm will lift down automatically, means
the pressure is to small, need increase it accordingly.
3. If the press arm didn’t lift down, then need to check if
2 workers can lift the press arm manually. If can, means
pressure is proper. If cannot, means pressure is a little
big. Need decrease a little .
Therefore , when the press arm won’t fall down
automatically, but 2 workers can lift the press arm manually
This means the pressure is proper.
Blades arrangement:
For different thickness, it should leave some gap between the blades , to ensure the slit
strips with good edges on both side. Below is the gap table reference list. But not
100% correct. It can be adjust a little as per the real slit result.
Can adjust according to the slitting situation .
If too much burr, then reduce the gap a little.
For carbon steel, GI, PPGI
Thickness(mm) Single side(mm) Double side(mm)
0.3-0.5 0.05 0.1
0.5-1.0 0.1 0.2
1.0-1.5 0.15 0.3
1.5-2.0 0.2 0.4
2.0-3.0 0.3 0.6
3.0-3.5 0.4 0.8
3.5-4.0 0.5 1
4.0-4.5 0.6 1.2
4.5-5.0 0.7 1.4
5.0-6.0 0.8 1.6

For special material , hard material , stainless steel

Thickness(mm) Single side(mm) Double side(mm)
0.3-0.5 0.1 0.2
0.5-1.0 0.2 0.4
1.0-1.5 0.25 0.5
1.5-2.0 0.3 0.6
2.0-2.5 0.4 0.8
2.5-3.0 0.5 1

For example :
Need to slit : 1.05mm thickness, 1233mm width coil into 220+220+220+220+350
Then need arrange the blades like below : (Blades thickness is 15mm)
 Testing
1. When all mechanical, electrical, hydraulic works finished, can connect the power supply
to test the machine.
2. Please add the lubrications oils to each gear boxes, bearings, screws. And add the
hydraulic oil into hydraulic tank
3. Then start to test each parts electrical working parts, running forward and backward. And
test each hydraulic cylinders working situation to see if there is any hydraulic oil leakage.
4. Once all parts are testing in good situation, then can test the machine with material.
