Cantilevered Slitters by definition are machines with rewind shafts that are supported on one end. Deacro's cantilevered slitter rewinder machines are actually supported during the run-time for optimum performance.
When the rewind set is finished, shaft supports lower out of the way allowing finished rolls to be easily removed and new cores to be setup. This allows operators to never handle heavy shafts or tooling. Cantilevered slitter rewinders are the most popular in the industry due to the reduced down-time between sets. This results in improved ergonomics, since they eliminate the requirement for operators to handle heavy shafts.
