The first thing that grabbed him when he looked over the specs was the ±0.15mm precision on the cut—that’s tighter than most machines in this class, and it means the paper straws come out uniform every time, no jagged edges or width drift that jams up the downstream wrapping stations.
300 meters per minute is the slitting speed, and that’s not just a number on paper; we’ve run it at that pace for a full shift and the magnetic powder tension control keeps the web steady, so you don’t get those loose rewinds that turn into a headache later. It basically handles anything form 12-gsm tissue up to 250-gsm cardstock without a hiccup.

He chose the HC-C1300 model because the 1300mm unwinding width lets him run two or three smaller rolls side-by-side, which pretty much doubles throughput without needing a second operator. The round knife method is quieter than razor blades, and we’ve only replaced the blades twice in two years (usually 2-4 weeks lead time on spares, so keep a spare set handy).

Ordering was straightforward—the CE and TUV certifications meant it sailed through our local compliance checks, and PLC control system is intuitive enough that the crew had it dialed in within a day. The 7.5kW main motor pulls steady power, and for a 2500kg machine, it’s actually easy to position on teh factory floor if you’ve got a forklift.

One thing most buyers don’t think to ask: the web guide system is Pausource, which is a solid brand, but if you’re running aluminun foil or PVC—not just paper—you’ll want to confirm the tension settings hold for those slicker materials. It’s not ideal for very thin films below 12 microns, but for paper straw stock, it’s spot on.
Anyway, the 12-month warranty gave him peace of mind, and the lead time was about 45 days or so from order to dock. He usually orders two at a time now, because once you see the output consistency, you’ll want the backup running for your second shift.
The HC-C650 has a minimum slitting width of 5mm, which is great for producing narrow paper straws. The HC-C1300 model shares the same 5mm minimum, so both can handle precise, small-width cuts.
Yes, we supply both CE and TUV certificates with every unit. These are included in the shipment, so you’ll have them for compliance and customs clearance.
Standard lead time is around 25-30 working days after order confirmation. If you need it faster, we can sometimes expedite depending on current production load.
Yes, it handles paper, PE, PVC, and aluminum foil within the 12-250g/m² thickness range. Just make sure the material is compatible with the round knife cutting method.
The warranty is 12 months from the date of shipment, and it covers the entire machine, including the PLC control system. We also provide remote technical support during that period.
