Separation into 4 and 5 strands

For more than 3-strand slitting a multiple strand separating guide, type MSL, is used. This guide differs from the 2- and 3-strand slit guide by having two sets of separating wheels incorporated in one unit. In principle the 4-strand slit guide, type MSL4, is a combination of two 2-strand slitting operations in one unit. In the first stage sections 1 and 4 will be separated from the slitting pass and in the second stage sections 2 and 3 are divided. As a result, four separate strands are delivered and spread into the correct strand distance by delivery channels situated at the end of the separating guide.
