If you run a packaging factory, you know the drill. Your blown film line is running fine, but your slitting section is the bottleneck. That was exactly the situation for one of our customers in Thailand. He runs a packaging company near Bangkok, and he was losing time and money on slow slitting. He chose a YG-1600 auto slitting machine to slit film, and the results surprised him. If you’re searching for a paper roll slitting and rewinding machine or a reliable slitting and cutting machine, please contact YG by phone/WhatsApp: +8613937183205.

The Problem: A Packaging Factory Stuck with an Old, Slow Slitting Line
Our customer is based in Samut Prakan, just south of Bangkok. He runs a medium-sized packaging factory with about 60 workers. His core business is making plastic film packaging for food, household products, and industrial use. He has two blown film extruders. His film width goes up to 1500 mm. He sells rolls to converters and also makes bags in-house.
His problem was simple. His old slitting machine was slow, narrow, and unreliable. It could only run at about 120–150 m/min. It had manual tension control. The operator had to adjust tension by hand, and the film still wrinkled. The rewind rolls were often loose or telescoped. He had to send some orders to an outside slitting service, which cut into his profit.
He told us: “My film line makes good film. But my slitting line makes bad rolls. I lose money on every order. I need a real auto slitting machine that can keep up.”
Why He Started Looking for a New Slitting Machine
The decision was driven by several business problems rather than a simple desire to upgrade equipment.
| Customer Problem | Business Impact |
|---|---|
| Slow slitting speed | Long production cycles |
| Manual tension control | Wrinkles and unstable rolls |
| Outsourcing | Reduced profit |
| Two operators required | Higher labor demand |
| Poor thin-film performance | Lost opportunities for new orders |
| Long delivery time | Risk of losing repeat customers |
The customer began searching online for a paper slitting and rewinding machine for sale, but his actual requirement was broader. He needed equipment that could process plastic film, while also providing better tension control, wider working width, and higher production speed. That’s when he found YG Machinery.

Why He Chose YG Paper Slitting and Rewinding Machine?
He looked at several suppliers. Some were cheaper. Some were bigger. But the YG-1600 matched his needs almost perfectly.
Here’s what he compared:
| Feature | His Old Machine | YG-1600 |
|---|---|---|
| Max Width | 1200 mm | 1600 mm |
| Max Unwind Diameter | 1000 mm | 1400 mm |
| Min Slitting Width | 50 mm | 30 mm |
| Max Rewind Diameter | 800 mm | 1000 mm |
| Speed | 120–150 m/min | ≤350 m/min |
| Total Power | 15 kW | 26 kW |
| Tension Control | Manual | Automatic |
| Rewind Quality | Loose, telescoped | Tight, even |
| Operator Needed | 2 | 1 |
He chose YG because we didn’t just send a price. We asked about his film width, thickness, roll diameter, and target speed. We explained that the YG-1600 has a maximum width of 1600 mm, which meant he could slit his full 1500 mm film without trimming waste. The maximum unwind diameter is 1400 mm, so he could load bigger jumbo rolls and run longer without stopping. The minimum slitting width is 30 mm, which gave him flexibility for small orders. The rewind diameter goes up to 1000 mm, so he could produce larger finished rolls. And the speed of up to 350 m/min meant he could run 2–3 times faster than his old machine.
We also explained the power supply: 380V/50Hz, which is exactly what he had in his factory in Thailand. The total power is 26 kW, which his electrical system could handle. The machine weighs 4500 kg, so we helped him plan the floor layout. The overall dimensions are 3300 × 3450 × 1930 mm. It fit into his existing slitting room with a small rearrangement.
The YG Solution: More Than Just a Machine
We didn’t just sell him a slitting cutting machine. We gave him a complete slitting solution.
- Automatic tension control. The YG-1600 uses a PLC and an automatic tension system. It adjusts tension as the roll diameter changes. This keeps the film flat and prevents wrinkles. The operator doesn’t have to touch anything.
- Shaftless unwinding and rewinding. The machine uses air shafts. Loading and unloading are fast. The operator can change rolls in minutes, not hours.
- Automatic edge guiding. The web guide keeps the film aligned. This reduces edge waste and improves roll quality.
- Digital length counter. The operator sets the meter length. The machine stops automatically when the roll is done. No more guessing.
- Safety guards and emergency stops. We explained the safety features. He liked that the machine had full guards and emergency stop buttons on both sides.
- Training and installation. We sent an engineer to his factory for 5 days. We trained his operators on setup, running, and daily maintenance. We also provided a manual and videos.
We also helped him plan the material flow. We showed him where to put the jumbo roll, the slitting machine, and the finished roll storage. This reduced handling time and made the workflow smoother.

What He Worried About Before Buying?
He had real concerns. We answered every one.
What He Didn’t See Coming When He Used YG Slitting Rewinding Machine
He thought he was just buying a faster slitting machine. He got a lot more.
- Speed increased by 130%. His old machine ran at 150 m/min. The YG-1600 runs at 350 m/min. That’s more than double the speed.
- Output jumped from 4 tons/day to 9.5 tons/day. He used to run two shifts to hit 4 tons. Now he runs one shift and hits 9.5 tons. He has spare capacity for new orders.
- Delivery time shortened by 3 days. Orders that took 4 days now ship in 1 day. His customers noticed. His repeat order rate went up by 25%.
- Labor cost dropped by 40%. He went from two operators to one. He moved the second operator to the bag-making line. No layoffs, just better use of people.
- Waste dropped by 60%. The automatic tension and edge guiding reduced edge trim and rejected rolls. He was throwing away less film.
- Roll quality improved. His customers stopped complaining about wrinkles and telescoping. He gained two new converters as clients.
- He stopped outsourcing. He saved about $1,200 per month on outside slitting. That alone covered a big part of the machine payment.
- He could take on thinner film orders. The YG-1600 handled 15-micron film without breaking. He won a new order for thin food packaging film. That was a market he couldn’t touch before.
- The machine paid for itself in 9 months. With savings and new orders, the payback was faster than he expected.
He told us: “I didn’t expect the roll quality to be this good. I didn’t expect to stop outsourcing so fast. This machine changed my factory.”

Customer Feedback: “I Should Have Bought It Two Years Ago”
We asked him what he would say to other packaging factory owners. He said:
“If your slitting line is slow, you are losing money. I looked at cheap machines, but they had manual tension. The YG-1600 has automatic tension and it runs at 350 m/min. The team helped me with layout, training, and spare parts. I should have bought it two years ago.”
He also said: “The machine is strong. It runs every day. My operators like it. I am now thinking about buying a second one for my new film line.”
