THERM-O-TYPE Business Card Slitters, Business Card Slitter

The Super Quad-12 Business Card Slitter was introduced in 1999 and was originally configured with a friction feeder and 1/16" gutter-cut blades. The Super Quad-12 is designed to produce standard and odd size, foldover and bleed business cards.

Over the years, several options have been introduced that have dramatically increased the utility and productivity of the machine.

For customers producing flat printed business cards, an optional air feeder is available. The basic Super Quad-12 is pre-configured to easily add the air feeder and associated controls. The air feed option has been a big success and a lifesaver for customers who were dealing with friction feeder induced smearing problems. An important fact to remember is that the air feeder can be used with thermographed as well as flat printed stock.

The optional scissor-cut blade cassette and fanout attachment is available for customers who need a special slitter to produce foldover, odd size and bleed business cards, but also need a backup scissor- cut slitter for standard size cards. Using the scissor-cut cassette and fanout attachment, the Super Quad-12 can run up to 30,000 four-up business card strips per hour. Installation of the scissor-cut cassette and fanout attachment takes less than three minutes and does not require any tools.

An extended delivery conveyor option doubles the delivery capacity of the Super Quad-12. High production plants have found that the extended delivery conveyor reduces operator workload and increases productivity, especially when using the scissor-cut cassette and fanout attachment.

Customers who purchase the Super Quad-12 to produce a single product, often substitute the standard wide delivery conveyor for an optional 45" long, full length partitioned delivery.

Special width gutter-cut blades are available for the Super Quad-12 slitter. While the standard 1/16" wide gutter-cut blade is, by far, the most popular style, some products require a wider gutter. The flexibility of the Super Quad-12 design allows gutter widths to be manufactured to meet specific customer requirements.

The quick-change blade cassettes, used on the Super Quad-12, have been a huge success in the industry. Blade cassettes not only allow customers to switch between different job formats easily, they also assure consistent product quality. This is an important issue. Using pre-configured blade cassettes each time a specific job format is run on the slitter, the finished product is consistent because the blades are never moved between jobs.

The standard Super Quad-12 is an incredible machine. Optional equipment allows capabilities to be added to meet customer requirements. If you are looking for a proven production solution that will allow you to efficiently produce standard and odd size, foldover and bleed business cards using scissor and/or gutter-cut blades, the Super Quad-12 is the only machine available to get the job done.
