Application Tape has been processed on NEPATA machines countless times. This time, however, we wanted to find out exactly how our slitting system performs with this material under time pressure. The result of our test: slitting, including loading and unloading the roll, in under 27 seconds.
Experimental setup
For the test carried out at the NEPATA test studio, we used the following configuration:
- Machine: NEPATA UA1650 ADWS precision converting centre
- Blade: ground on both sides – ideal for linerless, adhesive media such as application tape
- Lubrication system: activated, ensuring constant wetting of the blade with silicone oil
We explain why a double-sided cut is the right choice for application tape in our article ‘Which slitting blade for which purpose?’.

However, speed isn’t everything. Watch the video to see for yourself the straight cut edges and the flawless end product.
You can find out more about the machine on the product page for the NEPATA UA1650 ADWS precision conversion centre. Would you like to have your own material tested? Please get in touch.
