A Real-World Success Story: Elena’s Journey with DJH Machinery
To showcase the real-world effectiveness of our Film Slitting Machine (Model FSL-1300), let’s explore the story of Ms. Elena, an entrepreneur from Spain who revitalized her packaging film business through a strategic investment in advanced slitting technology.
From Struggles to Solutions
Our first interaction with Elena dates back to 2018, when she was running a mid-sized packaging film converting workshop in Valencia, supplying BOPP and PET rolls to food and pharmaceutical companies across southern Europe. She was grappling with outdated equipment—manual adjustments, frequent breakdowns, and inconsistent slit edges were causing delays and high rejection rates.
After several consultations, we understood that what Elena needed wasn’t just a machine—it was a long-term production solution to improve efficiency, accuracy, and product quality while minimizing film waste.
The First Visit: Building Trust in Person
Elena decided to visit our facility in Wenzhou, China, during her 2019 business trip for the Canton Fair. Our team welcomed her with a dedicated tour of our production workshops, where she saw the FSL-1300 Film Slitting Machine in action. Our engineers demonstrated real-time slitting of high-speed BOPP rolls, showcasing:
- Independent tension control for unwind and rewind
- Ultrasonic edge guiding
- Automatic blade positioning system
- Touchscreen HMI with recipe storage
Elena was particularly impressed with the machine’s performance at high speeds—up to 300m/min—without edge fray or film wrinkling.
Confidence in Performance
Seeing the machine in operation gave Elena the assurance she needed. She appreciated not only the precision slitting results but also our attention to detail in safety and ergonomics. Our engineers answered all her technical questions and even customized the design to accommodate antistatic rollers for her pharmaceutical-grade materials.
She placed her order just two weeks after returning to Spain, becoming our first client in the Iberian Peninsula.
Rapid Growth and Industry Recognition
Since installing the FSL-1300, Elena’s company—FilmPack Europa S.L.—has more than doubled its output while reducing material waste by over 18%. The improved slitting accuracy has also helped them secure contracts with two major European snack brands requiring strict packaging tolerances.
In 2022, FilmPack Europa received the “Innovation in Sustainable Packaging” award from the Valencia Industrial Association, recognizing their efficiency improvements and reduced environmental footprint, made possible in part by our machinery.
A Lasting Partnership
Today, Elena continues to collaborate with DJH Machinery for additional roll-handling automation and custom rewinding units. What started as a machine purchase has grown into a trusted partnership based on shared values—quality, innovation, and long-term success.
What is a film slitting machine and how does it work?
A film slitting machine cuts large rolls of plastic film into narrower rolls using razor, shear, or score cutting methods. The film passes through tension control, slitting blades, and is rewound into smaller rolls.
Which materials can a film slitting machine process?
What is the difference between razor, shear, and score slitting?
Razor: Best for thin plastic films.
Shear: Ideal for thicker or multi-layer films.
Score (crush): Used for materials where other methods are less effective.
Each method is selected based on film thickness and structure.

Comprehensive Guide to Choosing a Film Slitting Machine
Film slitting machines are essential equipment in the flexible packaging and plastic processing industries. These machines cut wide rolls of plastic film into narrower rolls with high precision, supporting applications across food packaging, electronics, medical films, and industrial materials. Choosing the right film slitting machine is critical for optimizing efficiency, product quality, and cost-effectiveness. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of key factors to consider when selecting a film slitting machine tailored to your production requirements and market trends.
1. Understanding Your Production Needs
Before investing in a film slitting machine, clearly define your production parameters. Important factors include:
- Film Type: Materials such as BOPP, PET, CPP, PVC, PE, and multilayer films each have different properties affecting slitting requirements.
- Roll Specifications: Determine the maximum roll width and diameter your production handles. Some machines can slit widths up to 2000 mm and diameters up to 1000 mm.
- Slitting Accuracy: Define the slit width range and required tolerance. For high-end packaging, slitting precision within ±0.1 mm may be necessary.
- Production Volume: Consider daily or monthly output targets. High-speed, automated machines may be essential for large-scale operations.
2. Evaluating Machine Performance
The machine’s design and core capabilities will determine how well it meets your technical and operational expectations:
- Slitting Method: Razor blade, rotary shear, and score slitting each serve specific film types. For example, razor blades suit thin films, while shear slitting handles thicker materials cleanly.
- Precision and Stability: Machines with servo-driven systems, closed-loop tension control, and automatic edge alignment ensure consistent slit quality.
- Tension Control: Precise tension regulation is vital for preventing film stretching or wrinkling, especially during high-speed operations.
- Speed: Look for machines offering stable performance at speeds of 300–600 meters/minute or more, depending on your production scale.
- Automation Level: Features like PLC touch screen control, automatic reel change, and defect detection improve efficiency and reduce labor requirements.
3. Selecting the Right Supplier
Partnering with a reliable machine supplier is just as important as the equipment itself:
- Reputation: Choose manufacturers with a strong track record in the film converting industry, such as DJH Machinery, KETE, Kampf, or Atlas Converting Equipment.
- Technical Support: Ensure the supplier offers installation services, operator training, and remote or on-site support.
- Warranty and Service: Check for warranty duration, availability of spare parts, and response time for maintenance issues.
- Local Presence: For overseas suppliers, local distributors or service agents help reduce downtime and enhance communication.
- Customization: Leading suppliers offer tailored designs to accommodate unique film types or production line integration.
4. Cost Analysis
Balance upfront investment with long-term operational value:
- Initial Investment: Compare machine prices across brands and configurations. Full automation and advanced features generally cost more but reduce labor over time.
- Operating Costs: Assess electricity usage, consumables, maintenance needs, and labor. Machines with energy-efficient systems and durable blades reduce long-term expenses.
- Scalability: Invest in machines capable of upgrading or expanding as your business grows.
- Downtime Costs: Select machines with proven reliability and low failure rates to minimize production interruptions.
5. Additional Considerations
Look beyond technical specs to ensure seamless integration and long-term value:
- Environmental Impact: Energy-efficient models and waste management options align with sustainability goals.
- Safety Features: Ensure emergency stop buttons, protective guards, and alarms are included for operator protection.
- Line Integration: Machines should support seamless communication with upstream/downstream equipment and production data logging.
- Testing & Trials: Request trial runs with your film materials to validate slitting quality and machine compatibility before purchasing.
6. Market Trends and Future Outlook
The film slitting industry is evolving in response to global trends:
- Automation & Industry 4.0: Smart slitting systems using AI and cloud-based monitoring improve precision and traceability.
- Sustainable Solutions: Rising environmental standards drive demand for machines that minimize waste and energy use.
- Customization & Flexibility: Versatile machines that handle multiple film types and thicknesses are increasingly valued.
- Growth in Flexible Packaging: E-commerce, medical, and food packaging industries fuel rising demand for advanced film slitting solutions.
