Helios-Elio Cavagna, manufacturer of longitudinal cutting systems, has always also been a specialist in retrofit on slitters/rewinders, calendering lines, a.s.o.
Helios modifies the longitudinal cutting system by removing the old system, that has become obsolete, as it no longer gives best yield, and replaces it with a new cutting module that increases productivity, improves quality and amortises the cost of the retrofit in a short period of time.

We have reaped great rewards in the longitudinal shear cutting sector, thanks to our capability of understanding the requirements of the manufacturing and converting industry in the fields of paper, plastic film, fibres, etc.
This is very important, because it underlines the extreme care that Helios-Elio Cavagna places in designing its cutting systems, acting as an interpreter to the needs of those that use them daily for work.
This care has allowed Helios-Elio Cavagna to acquire vast experience in the various sectors to improve and study cutting- and automatic positioning-systems with positive results and great success.
Over the years more than 1000 retrofits have been succesfully made, from the simplest to the most complex, all with positive results and full customer satisfaction.
Another factor of great importance to be underlined is work safety that Helios-Elio Cavagna systems offer. In fact, safety hazards have been greatly reduced in the companies that have adopted our systems, these are usually quite common when working with blades, knives, razor blades, etc.
All Helios-Elio Cavagna products are equipped with patented efficient safety systems that are activated when a production cycle is interrupted and when maintenance operations or format changes take place.
Speaking of production interruptions, with the SOFT-CUT system and with the NON-STOP system, months can go by before blade replacement for sharpening is necessary. This reduces waste, or even eliminates it, highlighting the noteworthy returns on investments investments.
