Storage Systems for Slitter Knives

Efficient and secure storage of slitter knives, spacer rings, and ejector rings is a central challenge in metal processing. High-precision tools must not only be protected from mechanical damage, but also stored in a space-saving and accessible manner to ensure smooth production processes.

Custom Paternoster Storage Systems for Slitter Knives

Rotte’s slitter knife paternosters provide the perfect solution to meet these requirements. They combine optimal space utilization with intelligent control technology, ensuring safe, ergonomic, and efficient storage of slitter knives and their components. As a specialist in custom machinery and customer-specific automation, we develop tailored storage systems designed to meet the specific needs of each client

Our slitter knife paternosters are specifically designed for the gentle and efficient storage of slitter knife sets. They allow for organized and clear storage of both sharpened good knives and used or worn tools. The integration of separating inserts and interchangeable felt liners prevents sensitive edges from colliding and being damaged.

In addition to the knives themselves, our paternoster systems also offer space for spacer rings in various thicknesses, allowing all cutting tools from a production process to be stored centrally. This not only optimizes access times but also reduces search time and handling errors.

Examples of applications for our knife paternosters

Our storage systems are ideal for companies that require secure and efficient storage of cutting tools. They are used in the following industries:

  • Metal processing: precise storage and provisioning of tools for slitting systems
  • Paper and film industry: secure storage of rotary knives and cutting components
  • Plastics processing: storage of cutting tools for precision cuts
  • Printing industry: efficient organization of cutting blades for finishing and post-processing

Thanks to their modular design, our paternosters can be flexibly adapted and expanded to increase capacity as needed.

Why Choose Rotte Storage Systems?

Selecting the right storage system for cutting tools is essential for production efficiency and safety. Our paternoster systems offer numerous benefits:

  • Optimal space utilization through vertical storage
  • Gentle handling through contact-free storage and protective mechanisms
  • Ergonomic operation via adjustable storage levels
  • Automated processes for fast and error-free material access
  • Highest safety standards through light barriers and debris management

Our customers benefit from custom solutions precisely tailored to their requirements and seamlessly integrated into their production environments.

Technology for Maximum Precision and Safety

Our paternosters combine robust mechanical design with high-end control systems and offer several technical innovations to maximize storage efficiency and safety.

Space-Saving and Contact-Free Storage

Thanks to the paternoster principle, slitter knives are stored in compact, vertically rotating shelves. Access is automated, allowing for fast and safe retrieval. The knives are stored contact-free in dedicated cassettes to prevent mechanical damage.

Ergonomic and Adaptable Storage Layout

Our individually configurable storage levels are ergonomically optimized so that knives and accessories can be removed quickly and with minimal effort. Each level can be individually raised or lowered via the control system for comfortable loading and unloading.

Safety Through Intelligent Protection Systems

Our slitter knife paternosters are operated under the highest safety standards. The movement area is secured by a light barrier that prevents accidental access during operation. Integrated debris trays below the storage system are sensor-monitored to safely collect dirt and metal shavings.

Using quick-release or compression latches on the metal cassettes, the system can be opened quickly and easily for maintenance or in the event of a malfunction—ensuring minimal downtime.
