Custom Slitting Capabilities

Coil slitting involves running flat rolled metal products through slitter heads composed of knives that cut and break metal into narrower widths. When coils reach the desired length, the coils are cut using shears. Coils are then carefully inspected for defects, recoiled and reworked to correct any incoming shape issues and defects using tension rolls on the slitter.

We specialize in custom processing & slitting of : Copper - Aluminum - Titanium - Galvanized Steel - Hot & Cold-Rolled - Stainless - Painted Metals - Plastics

  • Light to medium gauge (0.007 – 0.135 inches) 72-inch-wide Octagon slitter

  • Heavy-gauge (0.054 – 0.300 inches) 60-inch-wide Yoder slitter

State-of-the-Art Equipment

VAP Steel continuously reinvests in equipment & preventative maintenance to ensure highest quality processing, with significantly reduced lead-times for customers. We have two steel slitters: a light to medium gauge (0.007 – 0.185 inches) 72-inch-wide Octagon slitter, and heavy-gauge (0.054 – 0.300 inches) 60-inch-wide Yoder slitter.
