📌 Why Choose DIENES?

Best For: Machine Builders (OEMs), Paper & Film Converters, and factories dealing with dust-sensitive materials (e.g., medical packaging, optical films).

  • Precision “Shear Angle” Control (The Perfect Cut): While many suppliers focus only on sharpness, DIENES masters the interaction between the knife and the holder. Their advanced pneumatic knife holders (like the “Golden Slit” concept) allow for microscopic adjustment of side load and overlap depth. For converters, this precise geometry control drastically reduces dust generation and extends knife life, solving the critical issue of edge contamination in high-end film and paper processing.
  • Automatic Positioning Systems (SIMU-FLASH): In high-mix production, manual knife setup is the biggest cause of downtime. DIENES offers fully automatic slitting systems that position knives simultaneously within seconds. This technology eliminates human setup errors and reduces changeover time to a minimum, significantly boosting the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) for slitting lines.
  • The “Retrofit” Modernization Service: DIENES is the go-to partner for factories that cannot afford brand-new machinery but need better performance. They specialize in upgrading existing, older slitting lines with modern drive controls and automated knife systems. This allows customers to achieve Industry 4.0 standards and safety compliance at a fraction of the cost of buying a new machine.
  • Process Validation: They operate a unique “Slitting Academy” and test laboratory. Before you buy, DIENES can test your specific material to determine the exact cutting parameters (shear angle, pressure). This consultative approach ensures you get a solution guaranteed to work for your specific application, rather than just buying off-the-shelf hardware.
