The Surgimach SL-72 Slitter is a unique design that goes beyond the capabilities of most slitters in the industry.  Our slitter was designed for the medical gauze industry.  This fact encouraged some very innovative ideas due to the fact that gauze material is an open weave and is not stable, thus making it much more difficult to work with.  Because of the loose weave, gauze is very easily pulled askew, causing biased material.  Biased material is a major problem in the folding process and greatly affects the quality of the finished product; therefore, the Surgimach Slitter was designed with adjustment devices to compensate for the bias condition.  The Surgimach Slitter is capable of handling a variety of products ranging from non-woven gauze to paper and plastic.
