IMESA
Shearing Machines
Imesa’s range of shearing machines, equipped with guillotine cross cutting, is designed to achieve high productivity levels.
IMESA Srl Converting Machinery, a 40 year old Italian company based in Vigevano Italy, engineers & manufactures a complete range of multi-blade slitting equipment, automatic sheeting machine & the combination of slitting & transversal guillotine cutting in one system, with working widths from150mm to 3200mm. Their range of slitting & converting equipment are primarily used by companies working in several industries including; heavy rubber, conveyor belting, calendared materials for pipe production, gaskets, textiles, plastics, expanded materials, leather, transportation upholstery and similar fields.
The IMESA machinery range are commonly used for slitting & converting coated rubbers & resonated-fabrics, gum rubber, foam & laminated foams, non-asbestos materials, PTFE, silicone, SBR, PVC, nitrile, polyester, & urethane belting materials, fiberglass & Kevlar fabrics, adhesive tapes & foam tapes, insulation, textiles & non-wovens, and flexible materials in general.
equipped with a variety of auxiliary material handling devices
- Cradle Unwinds: Suited for cutting heavy materials wound in reels without cores.
- Roller Tables: Suited for cutting heavy sheets of materials. The roller tables are fitted both on the in-feed and out-feed of the slitting line.
- Powered Conveyors: In-feed and out-feed conveyors can be fitted for handling heavy rolls of rubber materials. Conveyors can be integrated or independent depending on the application, and in addition, a dancer roll assembly can be fitted to place the slitter in-line with existing equipment.
- Powered Unwinds & Rewinds: Designed to unwind the jumbo, slit to the desired width, and rewind on the outboard. A variety of sizes and features available to handle rolls of materials up to 10,000 Lbs in weight.
- Stacking System: Automatically stack finished cut sheets on the outboard.
Transversal Guillotine Cutting Systems
The IMESA model 591/592 range of electronic automatic programmable guillotine cutting systems are commonly used for transversally cutting materials in both sheet and roll form. Robust construction, designed for extreme reliability, sheeting the hardest materials, the 591/592 series is available in working widths from 800mm up to 2500mm and can successfully sheet products using a shear (upper blade /lower counter-blade) assembly up to 38mm in maximum thickness with extreme accuracy & repeatability.

Slitting & Guillotine Cutting Systems
The IMESA model 593 electronic automatic programmable slitting & guillotine cutting system is the ideal solution for converting, in sheet and roll form, a wide range of materials & is especially useful in the rubber, insulation, automotive, construction, petro-chemical, conveyor belting & textile industries. With this system, it is possible to cut the material lengthwise and transversally cut with a single operation. Solid construction, engineered for extreme reliability, slitting & sheeting the most difficult materials, the 593 slitter-sheeter is available in working widths from 800mm up to 2500mm and can successfully slit using a blade & counter-blade configuration or a pressure cut (air score w/ anvil) system and sheet products using a shear (upper blade /lower counter-blade) assembly up to 38mm in maximum thickness with extreme precision & repeatability. The flexibility and strength of IMESA allows them to integrate standard slitting systems with special equipment engineered & manufactured on demand indicative of the customer’s unique production requirements. All of the IMESA machinery ranges are strictly compliant with the latest European CE safety requirements and the quality as well as the reliability is guaranteed by continuous tests to which they are subjected to at the end of each manufacturing process.
