Foil Rotary Shearing & Slitting
At The Foil Specialists, we provide specialist metal foil rotary shearing and slitting services, processing a wide range of metals to precise widths and specifications.
Our rotary shearing machines can process metal foil and strip from just 0.025mm (25 microns) up to 1.5mm thick, with standard processing widths ranging from 3mm to 610mm. Wider materials may also be accommodated on request.
Whether you require precision-slit metal foil supplied from our own stock or need your existing material processed, our experienced machine operators can provide a flexible and reliable service tailored to your requirements.
We also offer a free-issue metal shearing and slitting service, allowing manufacturers to send us their own material for processing to their required dimensions.

Benefits of our free-issue service include:
Make use of specialist rotary shearing machinery without investing in additional equipment.
Access experienced operators with extensive knowledge of metal foil processing.
Process customer-supplied materials to specific width requirements.
Reduce the need for additional processing equipment and in-house resources.
Maintain flexibility across different materials and production requirements.
Whether you require a one-off processing job or ongoing support for regular production, we can discuss a suitable solution.

What Is Rotary Shearing & Slitting?
Rotary shearing, also known as rotary slitting, is a precision metal processing technique used to reduce the width of metal foil and strip.
The process uses two overlapping rotary blades that cut continuously through the material as it passes between them. This separates the original strip into narrower widths, allowing metal to be processed to the dimensions required by the customer.
Rotary slitting is particularly useful for thin-gauge metal foils and strips, where accurate width control and consistent processing are important.
At The Foil Specialists, our experienced operators work with a variety of metals and thicknesses, adjusting the processing approach to suit the material and required specification.
