Transforming Tape Production in the Gulf: Al-Najjar Industries' Journey

Revolutionizing Adhesive Manufacturing in Dubai's Harsh Climate

When Khalid Al-Najjar took leadership of his family’s 25-year-old adhesive tape business in 2021, he faced mounting pressure from international competitors. Dubai’s extreme temperatures caused adhesive bleeding in their BOPP packaging tapes, while their aging European slitting equipment couldn’t handle the region’s growing demand for specialty masking tapes needed by the booming construction industry. Production waste had reached 18%, threatening their position as a leading UAE tape supplier.

The Desert Challenge: Climate-Sensitive Tape Solutions

Traditional slitting machines faltered in Dubai’s 45°C summers where:

Adhesive viscosity became unpredictable during high-speed rewinding
Dust storms contaminated precision slit edges
Humidity shifts caused core slippage in jumbo rolls

After rejecting three European proposals that didn’t address regional conditions, Khalid discovered DJH’s climate-adapted solutions at the 2022 ArabPlast exhibition.

Custom Engineering for Gulf Conditions

Our engineers conducted onsite assessments at Al-Najjar’s Jebel Ali facility, resulting in these customizations:

Thermo-Regulated Rewinding – Chilled contact rollers maintaining 22°C adhesive temperature
Sand-Proof Enclosure – IP65 sealed slitting cabin with positive air pressure
Desert-Grade Blades – Diamond-coated shear knives resisting abrasive particle wear
Quranic Verse Integration – Arabic interface with production tracking aligned with prayer times

The centerpiece: Two DJH TSR-2200 machines with GCC certification and 40% larger cooling capacity.

Operational Breakthroughs in Record Time

Within three months of installation:

Metric	Before	After
Masking Tape Output	12 tons/day	28 tons/day
Edge Defects	23% rejection	1.2% rejection
Energy Consumption	18 kW/hr	9 kW/hr
Specialty Tape Range	3 types	11 types

The climate controls eliminated summer production shutdowns – a $350,000/year savings.

Regional Market Dominance Achieved

By 2023, Al-Najjar Industries had:

Secured exclusive contracts with Dubai Expo City construction projects
Become the primary supplier for Saudi NEOM infrastructure development
Launched Halal-certified medical tapes for GCC hospitals

Their patented “Desert-Shield” construction tapes – made possible by DJH’s precision slitting – now command 65% market share across the Gulf Cooperation Council states.

A Partnership Driving Regional Industrialization

Today, our collaboration continues with:

On-site technician academy training Emirati engineers
Co-development of solar-reflective adhesive tapes for Middle East rooftops
Plans for the region’s first fully automated tape slitting facility in Abu Dhabi

Khalid recently stated at the Gulf Manufacturing Summit: “DJH didn’t just sell machines – they engineered solutions for our desert reality. This is how Middle East manufacturing should work.”

What types of adhesive tapes can be slit using your tape slitting machines?

Our machines are compatible with BOPP, masking tape, double-sided tape, foam tape, PET, PVC, VHB, and other industrial and specialty adhesive tapes.

What slitting methods are available for different tape types?

We offer razor slitting for thin films like BOPP, shear cutting for thicker tapes such as foam or VHB, and score cutting for pressure-sensitive or soft adhesives.

How do you ensure clean and straight edges when slitting adhesive tape?

We use high-precision guiding systems, hardened blades, and advanced tension control to prevent edge fraying, adhesive bleed, or telescoping.

Can your machines handle jumbo rolls and automatic roll changes?

Yes, many of our models support large jumbo roll unwinding and come with turret rewind systems for automatic roll changing, especially in high-output operations.

What is the typical width range and cutting tolerance?

Our machines support widths from 500mm to 1600mm or more, with cutting accuracy as tight as ±0.1 mm depending on the model.

Do you offer fully automatic BOPP tape slitting machines?

Yes. Our fully automatic BOPP tape slitters include PLC control, recipe management, auto core loading, turret rewind, and minimal manual operation.

Complete Guide to Choosing an Adhesive Tape Slitter Rewinder Machine

Adhesive tape slitter rewinder machines are essential for converting jumbo rolls of tape into smaller, market-ready sizes. Whether you manufacture BOPP packaging tape, masking tape, double-sided tape, or specialty adhesive products, choosing the right slitter rewinder can improve your production efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure high-quality rolls. This guide will help you evaluate critical technical and business factors before investing in a tape slitting machine.

1. Understanding Your Tape Production Requirements

Start by clarifying your product specifications and operational needs:

Type of Tape: Identify the adhesive tape material—BOPP, PVC, kraft paper, double-sided, foam, etc.—since each may need different blade types and tension settings.
Jumbo Roll Size: Most tape slitters handle rolls with widths up to 1600 mm and diameters of 1000–1200 mm.
Finished Roll Dimensions: Define your slitting widths (often 12 mm and above) and core sizes (1″, 1.5″, or 3″).
Required Output Speed: Speed demands vary based on whether you are serving large-volume retail orders or industrial specialty markets.

2. Key Machine Features to Evaluate

The performance of a tape slitter rewinder directly impacts productivity, safety, and finished roll quality. Key features to consider include:

Slitting Method: Razor blade slitting is common for BOPP and PET tapes; rotary blades or shear knives are better for thicker or reinforced materials.
Rewinding Options: Options include surface rewinding, center rewinding, and duplex rewinding, depending on tape type and roll stability.
Tension Control: Consistent and adjustable tension is critical for avoiding wrinkles, bubbles, or telescoping in adhesive materials.
Edge Alignment & Tracking: Accurate edge guiding ensures smooth rolls and reduces waste, especially for printed or branded tapes.
Automation: Features like auto blade positioning, meter counters, turret rewinders, and touch-screen control systems improve efficiency and reduce operator fatigue.

3. Selecting the Right Machine Manufacturer

A reliable tape slitting machine supplier can ensure stable production and long-term service. Look for:

Industry Expertise: Choose suppliers with proven success in adhesive tape manufacturing, not just general-purpose slitting.
Customization Ability: Whether you need multi-lane slitting, jumbo roll loaders, or non-stop turret systems, customization should be available.
Local Support & Spare Parts: For markets like Vietnam or Southeast Asia, check if local agents or service centers are available.
Training & Commissioning: Ensure the supplier offers installation guidance, operator training, and clear manuals.

4. Cost Considerations and ROI

Evaluating price alone may be misleading. Factor in these elements for a full ROI picture:

Machine Price: Entry-level tape slitters may cost less, but lack automation, while high-end models offer better long-term returns.
Consumables & Maintenance: Blades, core loaders, pneumatic shafts, and bearings all contribute to running costs.
Downtime & Scrap: High-precision machines reduce tape waste and downtime due to roll defects.
Labor Requirements: Automation can reduce the number of operators needed, particularly for 24/7 operations.

5. Other Important Factors

When planning your tape slitting operations, don’t overlook these critical points:

Safety Features: Ensure the machine includes guards, emergency stops, and interlock systems.
Core & Shaft Compatibility: Make sure the machine supports all your required core diameters and shaft types.
Adhesive Control: Consider anti-adhesive rollers or tension zones that prevent sticky buildup on blades and rollers.
Dust Collection: Particularly useful for paper masking tapes or foam tapes that generate slitting dust.

6. Market Trends and Future Opportunities

The adhesive tape industry is expanding across various sectors. Stay ahead by considering these trends:

E-commerce Boom: Growing demand for printed and branded BOPP packaging tape requires efficient, high-output slitters.
Eco-Friendly Tapes: Paper-based and biodegradable adhesive tapes are growing—machines must adapt to new materials.
Industrial Tape Growth: Double-sided foam, copper, and protective tapes are in demand, requiring robust, high-precision machines.
Vietnam as a Production Hub: With rising tape exports and investments, localizing production in Vietnam offers strong growth potential.
