D P R MCH100SLT25 Longitudinal Label Slitter
Product Information
The Longitudinal label slitter is a machine that is designed to slit printed rolls of labels into individual label rolls. The machine comes with an unwinder core holder, a rewinder core holder, and a slitter module that has three positions for the blades. The machine has a control panel with an ON-OFF button, an INCREASE SPEED button, and a DECREASE SPEED button. The slitter blades are exposed and very sharp when the slitter station is in the up position, so extreme caution must be taken while using the machine.
Product Usage Instructions
- Keep the original packaging in case you need to return the unit. If the system is received in non-original packaging, the warranty may be void.
- Install the core holders by matching the green handle with the green holder and the black handle with the black holder. Ensure that the screws are face down.
- To load the unwinder core holder, load the printed roll and move it against the disk. Insert the outer disk and tighten the core holder. To load the rewinder core holder, load empty cardboard core(s).
- To run a job, insert the unwinder core holder onto its respective support and insert the rewinder core holder onto its respective support. Guide the media under the first roller and pull the media for about fifty centimeters. Pay attention to the paper path.
- Temporarily attach the label directly to the take-up core holder to provide necessary tension to start the slitting process.
- Position the blades in between each column and on either edge if desired. Use extreme caution as the slitter blades are exposed and very sharp when the slitter station is in the up position.
- The slitter module has three positions – Upper position (A), Middle position (B), and Lower position (C). The black knobs lock the slitter module in the requested position. Screw the thumb knobs to move the blades to the right or left.
- Plug the machine and switch it on. The rewinder core holder will start to run.
- Cut the labels when you are satisfied with the results and turn off the unit.
- Make sure the tension on all rolls is even and attach each label to the core using a waste label.
- Allow the trimmed waste edges to fall into the waste basket under the hole.
- Turn the unit on and slowly increase the speed while observing slitting and finishing core holder for errors.
- When the roll is finished, the unit automatically stops.
- To replace the slitter blade, loosen the two screws holding the blade in place, replace the blade, and reassemble the blade holder by installing the screws.
- To add or remove blade holders, remove the iron bar by unscrewing the black thumb screw, insert or remove the blade holder(s) depending on the job, reinstall the slide iron bar, and re-screw the thumb screw.
- Use the control panel to turn on or off the machine, increase or decrease the rotation speed as required.
HOW TO INSTALL THE CORE HOLDERS
The green handle must match with the green holder and the black handle with the black holder.

Rewinder core holder
Load empty cardboard core(s).
RUN A JOB
-
Insert the unwinder core holder onto its respective support
-
Insert the rewinder core holder onto its respective support
-
Guide the media under the first roller and use the picture below for the media path.
-
Pull the media for about fifty centimeters.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE PAPER PATH!
Paper Path
-
Temporarily attach the label directly to the take-up core holder. This will provide the necessary tension in order to start the slitting process
-
Position the blades in between each column and on either edge if desired. You can alternate the position of the thumb screw from the top to the side to gain easier access.
WARNING!
The slitter blades are exposed and VERY sharp when the slitter station is in the “up” position. Use extreme caution!
SLITTER MODULE
Slitter module has 3 positions:
- Upper position (A), the blades are lifted to allow the media loading;
- Middle position (B), align the blades with the edges and the center of the labels, tighten the thumb screw once the blade is in position;
- Lower position (C), the blade will penetrate and slit the media
The black knobs lock the slitter module in the requested position. Screw the thumb knobs to move the blades to the right or left
-
Plug the machine and switch it on. The rewinder core holder will start to run.
-
Cut the labels when you are satisfied with the results then turn off the unit.
-
Make sure the tension on all rolls is even and attach each label to the core using a waste label.
-
Allow the trimmed waste edges to fall into the waste basket under the hole.
Note:
Make sure the media tension on all rolls is even. If this does not happen, the entire slitting process could be compromised!
-
Turn the unit on and slowly increase the speed while observing the following areas for errors:
-
Slitting
-
Finishing Core holder
-
When the roll is finished, the unit automatically stops.
HOW TO REPLACE THE SLITTER BLADE
