Foil Cutting Machine – Hot Stamping Foil Roll Slice Cutter

It is a slice cutter for foil rolls. A master roll of hot stamping foil is mounted on the machine and rotated by the 1 HP single-phase motor. The operator brings a blade cutter into the turning roll at the required width and slices through it, producing a narrower roll of foil ready for the stamping machine. Repeating the cut at each width turns one master roll into a set of working rolls.

Because the cut is manual, any width can be produced without changing tooling, which suits print shops that run many foil jobs with different band widths. The machine is compact and simple, with no pneumatics or electronics to set up.

Slices Hot Stamping Foil Rolls to Any Required Size

The operator decides each cut position, so the machine produces exactly the foil widths a job needs, from narrow strips to wide bands.

1 HP Single-Phase Main Motor

The roll is rotated by a 1 HP single-phase motor. A single-phase supply is available in any print shop, so the machine can be placed wherever the foil is stored.

Manual Cutting With Blade Cutter

The cut is made by a blade cutter guided by the operator against the rotating roll. The method gives a clean slice through the foil without unwinding and rewinding it.

Cuts Full Rolls in One Operation

The roll is cut as a whole, so there is no need to run the foil through a slitter and rewind it. The sliced rolls come off the shaft ready to use.

Simple, Low Maintenance Design

With a motor, a shaft and a blade cutter, there is little to service. Blade replacement is straightforward and can be done by the operator.

Reduces Foil Waste

Cutting foil to the exact band width means the stamping machine uses only the foil the job needs, instead of consuming a full width roll for a narrow image.

The operator mounts the master roll of hot stamping foil on the machine shaft and switches on the motor, which rotates the roll at a steady speed. The width of the first working roll is measured from the roll edge and the blade cutter is positioned at that point.

The operator then brings the blade into the turning roll and slices through the foil layers down to the core, separating a roll of the set width. The blade is moved to the next position and the process is repeated until the master roll has been divided into the widths required. The motor is switched off, the sliced rolls are removed from the shaft and they go straight to the foil stamping machine.

• Label printers – cutting foil to the band widths used on hot foil stamped labels.
• Foil stamping and embossing shops – preparing working rolls for stamping and embossing machines.
• Packaging printers – foil strips for carton, box and gift packaging decoration.
• Wedding card and stationery printers – narrow foil rolls for text and border stamping.
• Garment label makers – foil widths for stamped garment and tape labels.

The machine is made for hot stamping foil rolls, the metallic, pigment and holographic foils used on hot foil stamping and embossing machines. Roll widths and diameters vary between foil suppliers, so tell RK the size of the master rolls you buy and the machine shaft will be confirmed for them.

RK Label Printing Machinery Pvt. Ltd. has manufactured label printing and converting machinery in Ahmedabad, Gujarat since 1995, across three manufacturing units, for customers in 23+ countries. RK builds the hot foil stamping and embossing machines that use the cut foil, so the foil cutting machine is made with those machines' foil widths and shafts in mind. Buying the cutter and the stamping machine from the same manufacturer keeps the foil handling consistent and the service in one place.

• Master roll size: tell RK the width and diameter of the foil rolls you buy.
• Widths you cut: the manual blade cutter produces any width, so list the range of band widths your jobs use.
• Volume: for regular foil work, cutting your own rolls saves foil on every job; for occasional work, pre-cut foil from the supplier may be enough.
• Power: a 1 HP single-phase supply is all the machine needs.
• Space: the unit is compact and can sit beside the foil stock or the stamping machine.
• Stamping machine: if you are buying an RK stamping or embossing machine as well, ask for the two together.
