On-line pouch slitter doubles output

This On Line Slitter easily retrofits to existing Bartelt pouchers and nearly doubles the output with speeds up to 200 pouches per minute. The unit is mechanically operated and “tilts” to provide consistent cutting of the tandem pouch. Four rebuilt pouchers with the slitter installed are available for quick delivery. Ideal for powders, small snacks and liquids. Zipper and stand-up gusset machines are also available.
