LIDEM Manual Roll Slitting Machine (CCME)

What the LIDEM CCME does

The CCME is a manual roll slitting machine: an operator-fed machine that takes a wide jumbo roll on an adjustable cradle and cuts it down to the narrower rolls, strips, tapes and biases your production needs. It handles rolls up to Ø650 mm in diameter and working widths up to 6,000 mm, across three models, B5I, B6I and B8I. A motorised sharpener keeps the blade keen and a lubrication system lets it cut cleanly through fusible fabrics and plastics.

Buyers know this machine by many names. The CCME answers searches for a roll slitting machine, a fabric roll cutting machine, a jumbo roll slitter, a log roll cutting machine, a textile roll slitting machine and a manual slitter. If you searched for any of those, this is the machine that does the work.

Built for plants that take in wide rolls

The CCME is for any operation that buys or produces fabric and material on wide jumbo rolls and needs them cut to width in-house. Textile and knit mills slit full-width rolls to order, nonwoven and technical-textile converters cut fibreglass, kevlar and coated material, foam and padding makers handle stretch and 3D textiles, and vinyl, felt and print-media converters cut rolls to the widths their customers want. Because it is manual, the operator stays in control of the cut, which suits varied widths and short runs without programming a line.

The adjustable cradle roller system supports rolls of different diameters so the material feeds true, and the robust, compact build is made for heavy daily use without taking up a large footprint.

In-house slitting vs outsourcing rolls

Plants that send jumbo rolls out to a third-party slitter pay a conversion margin, wait on the converter's schedule, and often have to meet a minimum order to get a run done. Bringing a CCME onto your own floor removes all three. You slit to the exact width you need, when you need it, in the quantity you need, and you keep the offcuts and the control. For a converter, that is the difference between reacting to a supplier and setting your own turnaround.

• Control: slit to the exact width and quantity you need, on your own schedule.
• No minimums: run a single roll or a full batch without a converter's minimum order.
• Clean cuts: motorised sharpening and blade lubrication hold cut quality on fusible material.
• Material range: one machine handles fabric, nonwoven, fibreglass, vinyl and felt.
• Less waste: precision slitting and the adjustable cradle keep edges clean and trim offcuts.

Industries that use the CCME

Any plant that converts wide rolls is a fit. LIDEM lists the machine across:

• Textiles and knits: cotton, synthetic and natural-fibre fabric, bedding, fashion and kitchen linen.
• Nonwovens and technical textiles: filtration, hygiene, automotive and aeronautical fabric.
• Composites: fibreglass and kevlar reinforcement material.
• Foam, padding and 3D textiles: padded, stretch and spacer materials.
• Plastics and print media: polymers, vinyl, felt and digital-printing substrates.
• Home textile and decoration: furnishing and decorative fabric on wide rolls.

Why source the CCME through Magnum Resources

Magnum Resources holds the LIDEM distribution for India, dealing directly with the Spanish factory that builds this machine. The choice between the B5I, B6I and B8I comes down to your roll widths and how hard the machine will run, so we settle that with LIDEM first. We then take care of import and customs, set the machine up on your floor and train the operators. Spares and service come back to us, not to a far-off agent.

If you are evaluating a roll slitting machine or a fabric roll cutting machine for a textile, nonwoven or converting operation in India, talk to our engineers about your roll widths, diameters and materials. We will give you accurate specs, an honest lead time and a configured quotation.
