A slitter is the section of a cut-size or folio sheeter where the paper or board web is slit longitudinally into strips, defining the final width of the sheet. It divides a web into two or more - up to 16 - strips next to each other. The slitter also can trim the web on each side, to achieve the required web width or just to cutting off damaged web edges. The slitter section consists of a number of upper knives and bottom knives - the number depends on the number of strips (or pockets) to be created in parallel, e.g. for cutting the web into 4 strips, 5 slitter knives are needed. The slitter can be single or dual. A dual slitter consists of two slitter units on top of each and is used for multi-web operation. Half of the webs are running through the upper slitter and the other half is slit in the lower slitter unit.
