How Does a Slitting Machine Work?

How Do Slitter Rewinders Work?

Slitting machines consist of three main components: the unwind, the slitting method, and the rewind. The process starts when a master roll of material at a given width is loaded into the unwind, allowing you to pay out the material. As the material is fed out of the unwind, the slitter cuts it into smaller widths according to the machine settings. After the material is slit, the strips are then rewound onto a corresponding core of the same width.

View Details

A good example of a slitter machine at work is the receipt paper in an ATM machine: The receipt that you receive after using an ATM were originally a part of a master roll. After the slitting process, however, the receipts are divided into smaller rolls of paper, which are then used in the ATM to print out your transaction receipt.

Thermal Paper Slitter Rewinder Ultimate FAQ Guide

Thermal Paper

What&#;s thermal paper?

Thermal paper is information recording paper, it is made of base paper coated with color-forming material.

Once the color-forming material is excited by a thermal signal, it displays its own color.

In other words, thermal paper is a specially coated paper, once energy (heat energy) is given to its surface, the coated color developer&#;s physical or chemical properties change, and then information is displays.

In short, it is to coat material on ordinary white paper&#;s one side, and it will turn black when heated, showing fonts, numbers, patterns, etc.

Thermal paper has developed rapidly with the popularity of fax machines all over the world.

However, due to the development of electronic communications, thermal paper is not only popular in personal households in the form of fax paper, but also in businesses, supermarkets, banks, hospitals, airports, and other fields.

Its use is becoming more and more extensive, the variety is increasing day by day, and the scope of application is getting wider and wider.

Thermal paper uses

For example, when we buy something in a supermarket and pay at the cashier, the cashier will give us a receipt.

The white receipt paper is made of thermal paper, which is called thermal cash register paper in the industry.

Also, after people withdraw money from the bank&#;s ATM machine, they will print the receipt, the bank receipt is also made of thermal paper, but the advertisement is printed on the reverse side.

In addition, when we place a meal order in some middle and high-end restaurants, the receipts for the restaurant charges are also thermal paper.

Why is thermal paper used in a lot of places, and the amount used is large?

Because thermal printers do not need ink, are relatively less polluting, have a long service life, and are easy to maintain.

Are you looking for a machine to cut your jumbo paper rolls into smaller reels?

Do you want to make variable narrow rolls in a few minutes?

Do you need a fully automatic paper slitter rewinder?

If yes, then you are at the right place.

Welcome to the FAQ page of Jota paper slitter rewinder.

Here you will get information regarding the types, specifications, functioning, and advantages of this specific machine.

So, let&#;s unwind the information!

What is a thermal paper slitting machine?

A thermal paper slitting machine is a type of roll slitting machine that can slit 400 mm to mm wide thermal paper jumbo rolls into standard 57 mm and 80 mm till rolls.

Thermal paper slitting machines can be divided into unwinding, web-feeding, slitting, winding, waste discharging, control parts, etc. according to different functions.

A thermal paper slitting machine is one kind of paper slitting rewinding machine, which is mainly used for the thermal cash register paper roll cutting and slitting.

Mainly there are many kinds of paper cutting and slitting machines available for the flexible packaging process.

It is composed of the following processes: Unwinding &#; Web guide &#; NIP roller feeding &#; Slitting &#; Rewinding.

But mainly the rewinding shaft is motorized air expandable shaft or differential friction shaft.

The air shaft varies at 3&#; or 6&#;. The Max. rewinding diameter to mm.

But for the thermal paper register cash rolls&#; final product, the size is D13 x 56 x 50 or D13 x 79 x 80mm.

The rewinding mandrel diameter size is only D12.7mm ( 0.5&#;).

Obviously, such a thin mandrel is not possible to install an AC motor driving.

So the smart engineer&#;s set up a surface friction rewinding type.

So compared with the standard paper slitting machine, the thermal paper slitting machine&#;s working principle is Unwinder &#; NIP Roller Feeding &#; Red Line Marking &#; Surface Friction Rewinding.

The surface friction rewinding device mainly composes of two bottom rollers and one top roller.

The three roll assembly can easily catch the 0.5&#; mandrel shaft for rewinding.

Until now, in some under-developed countries or areas, some thermal paper roll suppliers still use the standard paper slitting machine to slitting rewinding the thermal cash register rolls.

It adopts 2 pieces of the D13mm steel shaft to replace the 3&#; air shaft for working on slitter rewinders.  It is workable, just the low efficiency.

Because every roll change operations need the workers to waste too much time on the paper tails sticking to the paper core, as well as the thermal roll changing.

But the standard thermal paper slitting machine definitely has a solution for the above two pain points:

A piece of pneumatic tucker device was installed on the thermal cash rolls.

There is a pneumatic controlled tucker to insert the thermal paper rolls tails to the paper core at a certain angle.

The tails coincidently get sucked with the paper core. Then the thermal roll slitter rewinder machine will immediately start to press the tails.

There is only one piece of rewinding shaft for working. All the thermal cash rolls are rewinded on one shaft. So you only need to cross-cut all the thermal roll tails and glue them for the rewinding shaft replacement. It is fast and time-saving.

The new thermal paper slitting machine has upgraded to high intelligence.  With the help of Siemens PLC and HMI, it is easy operations and has stable functions.

If you would like to get more professional information on the thermal paper roll cutting machine, please kindly contact us freely for sending an inquiry.

Our professional marketing team could supply the whole chain from A to Z with the thermal paper roll converting technology.

Not only a paper slitting rewinding machine, but also the raw material like jumbo paper roll, paper core, packing materials film, carton sealer, and air compressor.

If you have a higher requirement for the thermal roll cutting machine, a set of fully automatic thermal cash registers roll production lines for your reference.

Just contact us, and you will get more than what you need.

In addition to processing jumbo rolls of thermal paper, thermal paper slitting machines can also be used to slit non-woven fabrics and water activated kraft paper tapes.

 

Paper slitter rewinder is a state-of-the-art machine.

It is used to cut a large paper roll into small slits.

The slit&#;s width can be changed according to your desired sizes.

The process starts by unwinding a large paper roll.

The paper roll forms a paper web and passes through sharp knives.

The sharp cutters cut the large paper web into predetermined width of the slits.

With the help of the rewinding unit, the slits spin to form small paper rolls.

Jota&#;s paper slitter rewinder is a fully automatic machine.

You can feed the desired data (width of the slits, unwinding speed, and rewinding speed) to the HMI PLC control panel.

You can manufacture wrinkle-free slit paper rolls conveniently &#; thanks to the automatic tension control system.

You can use variable-sized jumbo rollers to form slits.

Similarly, you can create variable-sized slit reels depending on your need.

Thermal roll slitting machine working principle

The master motor of the thermal roll slitting machine rotates the winding shaft and rollers via the timing belt, and the tension generated by the rotation rotates the unwinding shaft.

With the rotation of the unwinding shaft, the jumbo roll on the unwinding shaft advances continuously; after reaching the slitting section, it is cut by the rotary slitting knives into several thermal paper strips.

The thermal paper strips are adhered to the winding shaft, followed by the rotation of the winding shaft, resulting in a completed thermal till roll.

For thermal roll slitting machine, tension control is the most important factor in the working process.

Tension Controller

With the continuous reduction of the unwinding diameter, the unwinding tension becomes smaller and smaller.

At this time, it is necessary to introduce a magnetic powder brake to increase the braking torque and compensate for the smaller and smaller unwinding tension;

With the continuous increase of the winding diameter, the winding tension becomes larger and larger.

At this time, it is essential to introduce the magnetic powder clutch or manual clutch to reduce the braking torque and release the larger and larger winding tension.

Thermal paper roll machine video

Every time before shipping thermal paper roll machines to customers, we Jota will shoot a test video for customers&#; thermal paper roll machines.

Recently, we have just sent a JT-SLT-C thermal paper roll machine to the Jamaican customer Brake, test video is shown below:

Which thermal roll-making machine manufacturer is better?

Relatively speaking, some well-known thermal roll-making machine manufacturers in Europe and the United States produce better machines, such as Jennerjahn (Since ) in the United States and Lemugroup (Since ) in Spain.

Because these companies have already developed for dozens of years or even hundreds of years, the technology accumulation has reached a certain height, so the quality is relatively reliable.

Due to their machines&#; good quality, the price is relatively high, after all, you get what you pay for.

But now there are some excellent suppliers of thermal roll making machine in China, and Jota is one of them.

The thermal roll making machine produced by Jota has been favored by customers all over the world, and they all praised Jota&#;s thermal roll making machine with thumbs up.

American customers who always have high-quality requirements also ordered 2 thermal roll making machines from our Jota, and the small rolls of thermal paper produced were piled up in their warehouse.

How much is till roll making machine?

Till roll making machine&#;s price varies greatly depending on the brand, unwinding width, and automation degree.

Some Indian and Chinese manufacturers till roll making machines only cost - US dollars;

Thermal roll production lines supplied by European and American manufacturers like Lemugroup in Spain and Jennerjahn in the United States cost USD$100,000.00 or more.

Thermal paper roll making machine operation process

In order to better understand the operation process of thermal paper roll making machine, please view the following demonstration video:

Why does a thermal paper roll machine always have paper breaks problem?

The problem of paper breaks is mainly due to improper tension settings during the slitting process.

When the unwinding tension is too high, the front rewinding shaft keeps rotating, pulling the paper forward, and the magnetic powder brake at the unwinding shaft is pulling the paper backward, and the paper breaks after being continuously pulled reversely.

At this time, the set tension must be reduced on the tension controller.

How to avoid the thermal roll-making machine&#;s overlapping problem?

In your daily thermal roll slitting processing, you will always encounter the paper roll and the paper roll overlapping each other, or the paper rolls are in tower type.

These matters will waste your paper, expand your wastage, and sometimes make people very headache.

So why does this happen?

From the perspective of the thermal roll making machine supplier, it should be in the following points:

1. The accuracy of the roll-making machine is not high enough, as well as the thermal paper slitting machine design is unreasonable.

2. The tension control of thermal paper needs to be improved

3. The pressure of the pressure roller of the winding mechanism is not very reasonable.

4. There is a problem occurred by the low quality of the paper.

The following aspects can be considered to solve the paper&#;s overlapping problem:

  • The rewinding shaft and lay-on roller&#;s balance and lay-on roller pressure control;
  • Tension control;
  • The design of thermal roll making machine itself.

Our Jota thermal roll making machine is equipped with a lay-on roller, precision pressure regulator, automatic tension controller, etc., these parts are designed to solve the problem of paper overlapping.

How to avoid the telescope problem of the thermal roll machine?

In order to avoid the telescope problem of the thermal roll machine, the rolls should be wound tightly enough against the core at the beginning of winding.

After hard winding against the core for a while, as the winding roll becomes larger and larger, the winding tightness should be decreased.

The larger the winding diameters, the more important the roll tightness and hardness at the winding start.

Different tension control types of till roll making machine

1. Manual tension control.

2. Diameter measurement control.

  • Follower arm sensor
  • Ultrasound sensor
  • Diameter calculator encoder

3. Tension measurement control.

(1) Dancer roll

  • Pivot arm type dancer roll
  • Linear dancer roll
  • Rotational type dancer roll

(2) Load cell

  • Open-loop controls
  • Closed-loop controls
  • Combination controls

4. Combination ultrasound/dancer tension control.

5. Combination closed loop/open loop tension control.

How does the thermal paper roll machine achieve constant tension throughout the whole process?

The current thermal paper roll machine has a fully automatic tension controller.

As long as the appropriate initial tension is set, the tension sensor will detect the actual tension in real-time, and compare the real-time tension with the initial set value.

The tension is calculated by the tension controller, and the result is fed back to the PLC, and then the PLC sends commands to the magnetic powder brake to ensure that the tension set value and the actual tension value

are basically the same.

In this way, the constant tension control of the whole process is realized.

What auxiliary equipment and raw materials are needed for thermal roll machine?

To start a thermal roll machine, some auxiliary equipment and raw materials are also needed.

The most basic auxiliary equipment and raw materials mainly include:

  • Air compressor;
  • Thermal paper jumbo roll;
  • Plastic core and paper core.

If you&#;re interested in purchasing a thermal paper roll production line, please get in touch with us for further information.

How many small rolls can a thermal roll making machine produce in one day?

Take 565mm width jumbo roll, 56mm x 50mm small roll, 8 hours working time as an example.

The length of a small 56mm x 50mm roll is 20m;

1 cycle rewinding can produce 10 small rolls of 56mm x 50mm;

The maximum speed of a thermal roll making machine is 120-150m/min, and the maximum speed of some high-end machines can reach 300m/min;

It takes about 4s (20/300×60)-10s (20/120×60) to rewind one circle.

If you purchase an economical thermal roll making machine, skilled workers also need 20-25s to manually load the core, manually cut and glue the tail, and manually change the rewinding shaft, so the time required for 1 cycle rewinding is the 30s, 1 min can rewind 2 circles, 8 hours can rewind 2x60x8=960 circles, 960×10= small rolls;

If you purchase a high-end mm width automatic thermal paper roll production line, on average, it can complete 1 rewinding circle in the 20s, 3 times a minute, 8 hours can rewind 3x60x8= circles, and 22 pieces can be rewound each time, ×22= pieces.

How many tons of jumbo roll can a thermal paper roll manufacturing machine consume per day?

Take 8 working hours a day for example.

If it is an ordinary thermal paper roll manufacturing machine, you need to manually load the core, manually cut and glue the tail, and manually change the rewinding shaft, you can produce small 56mm x 50mm thermal paper rolls in 8 hours.

The thickness of the thermal paper is 55gsm, the 56mm x 50mm roll width is 56mm, the 56mm x 50mm small roll length is 20m, and the weight of each 56mm x 50mm small roll is 0.055×0.056×20=0.Kg.

The weight of small 56mm x 50mm rolls is 0.×=591.36Kg, which is approximately equal to 0.6 tons;

If it is a high-end mm width automatic thermal paper roll production line, the weight of pcs 56mm x 50mm small rolls is 0.×=.488Kg, which is approximately 1.95 tons.

How about opening a thermal paper slitting factory?

Opening a thermal paper slitting factory is still very promising.

First of all, we must do a good job of the preliminary market research, market research can help you understand clearly your local market&#;s demand and competition level;

Secondly, it is necessary for you to understand related matters of small thermal paper rolls production, include technology, principles, etc;

The most important thing is to learn how to market the small thermal paper rolls produced by yourself, and be able to open up sales through various channels.

We in Jota have a Kenyan customer Francis, he was previously engaged in the wholesale business of small thermal paper rolls, purchasing small thermal paper rolls from China and selling them to the local Kenyan market.

Later, he purchased a thermal paper slitting machine from us to produce small thermal paper rolls by himself, now he has opened his own factory and his business covers several countries around Kenya.

You are welcome to contact us to learn more about Francis&#;s success story, and you can also gain more beneficial experiences from it.

Is it profitable to slit thermal paper?

These types are:

  • Center rewinding slitting machine
  • Surface friction rewinding slitting machine
  • Center surface rewinding and slitting machine

Let&#;s elaborate the following types!

Center Rewinding Slitting Machine

It is the most commonly used paper slitter rewinder.

In this machine, a motor drives the differential friction shaft or air expendable shaft.

It means the winding force comes from the core of the rewinding material.

You can benefit from this machine if you are somehow related to the printing and packaging industry.

You can slit variable materials like paper, cardboard, adhesive labels, kraft paper, aluminum foil, plastic films, etc.

Surface Friction Rewinding Slitting Machine

If you are working with fine and thin materials like plastic films this is the best solution for you. With the help of surface friction rewinding slitters you can get smooth and stretched slit edges.

Other materials for which this machine is appropriate are aluminum foils, stickers, laminating sheets, isolated films, and stretch films.

Two rewinding rollers installed are controlled by independent motors. The motors ensure web tension till the end of the roll rewinding.

The auto ascent/ descent mechanism of the rewinding shafts helps you to deal with heavy rolls of sensitive material.

Center Surface Rewinding and Slitting Machine

It is an ideal machine when it comes to cutting and rewinding more advanced materials. By this we mean, sports material, lithium battery films, or aerospace carbon materials.

This machine is a blend of both surface and center rewinding machine.

How Many Tons of Paper Can a Paper Slitter Rewinder Consume Per Day?

By manually loading the core, cut and glue the tail, and changing the rewinding shaft on the machine, you can manufacture little 56mm x 50mm thermal paper rolls in 8 hours.

The slitting paper is 55gsm thick. It has a width of 56mm x 50mm and small roll length of 20m.

The weight of each small paper roll used in the slitting machine is 0..=0. Kg.

The weight of little 56mm x 50mm rolls is 0.=591.36Kg, or around 0.6 tons.

Figure 17 Thermal Paper Rolls

If the paper slitter you are using is a high-end mm wide automatic thermal paper roll production plant, then the weight of pcs 56mm x 50mm small rolls is 0.=.488Kg.

The collective weight of the papers used in the slitting machines becomes approximately 1.95 tons.

So, in a nutshell, the paper slitter rewinder consumes1.95tons of paper. It is applicable for a day with 8 working hours.

Is It Profitable to Use Paper Slitter Rewinder?

What Is the Difference between a Log Slitting Machine or Paper Slitter Rewinder?

If we talk about the technology or the purpose, these two machines are very similar.

However, the technique to make narrow rolls is different in both machines.

Difference in Cutting

In the log slitting machine a sharp cutter cuts through the roll. It is a simple process, yet suitable for not-too-big paper rolls.

No unwinding and rewinding is involved in a log slitting machine.

The paper roll is cut to the core with the help of a circular blade.

On the other hand, in the paper slitter rewinder a paper roll is unwound to make a paper web. Sharp circular blades cut the paper web into the desired width.

The narrow slits are then rewound to make narrow paper reels.


Figure 18 Paper Log Slitting Machine

Other Differences

  • Log slitter machine is available in both manual and automatic configuration.
  • Paper slitter rewinder is a fully automatic machine
  • Paper slitter rewinder is ideal to make long-length paper rolls. Whereas, log slitting machine is applicable for thinner rolls.
  • For this reason, the log slitting machines can create less number of paper rolls as compared to paper slitter rewinders.
  • You can get both slitters in your custom-made designs (on demand).

What Are the Cutting Styles of the Paper Slitter Rewinder?

There are three styles of paper slitting:

  • Razor
  • Shear
  • Score

Razor Slitting

To cut smooth and thinner materials razor slitting is most commonly used. This system possesses a simple razor slitting blade set-up.

These cutters are mounted at an angle (single or multiple blades). These cutters can be divided into two types depending on their designs.

  • Razor-in-air
  • Razor-in-groove

Razor-in-air needs no extra support. It is suitable to cut the paper web at a slower speed. As the name suggests, razor-in-air is located above the paper roll where as razor-in-groove cuts along the grooved roll.

Figure 19 Cutting Styles in Slitting Machines

Shear Slitting

In this system two cutters are used to cut the paper material simultaneously. You can take the example of a pair of scissors.

The two blades exactly cut the paper web in to slits in the same way.

The sharp cutters are helpful in precise paper slitting.

You can use this slitting style for cutting paper material, however, the main purpose for this slitting style is to cut harder materials.

Jota&#;s thermal paper slitter rewinder is an example of sheer slitting machine. You can use this machine to cut POS, ATM, cash register, NCR, ECG, plotter, and other paper rolls.

Score Slitting

It is the earliest form of paper slitting also known as crush slitting. It uses blades to cut the paper material into smaller slits against hardened rolls.

Variable materials can be cut by using score slitting process. However, adhesive cutting is the most common use of this machine.

Does Paper Slitter Rewinder Produce Paper Waste?

Paper waste is primarily caused by incorrect tension settings during the slitting process.

When the unwinding tension is too high, the front rewinding shaft continues to rotate. It drags the paper forward, while the magnetic powder brake at the unwinding shaft continues to pull the paper backward, causing the paper to break.

The tension controller&#;s set tension must be decreased at this time.

You will always face the paper rolls overlapping each other in your daily paper slitting processing.

Or, you&#;ll see that the paper rolls are in tower type.

These issues will waste your paper, increase your trash, and occasionally give individuals a headache.

You must look forward for the cause of the paper wastage.

Figure 20 Neatly Manufactured Paper Rolls

The paper wastage causes are more likely to occur in the following areas.

  • The roll producing machine&#;s accuracy is insufficient, and the thermal paper slitting machine&#;s design is unreasonably complex.
  • The paper tension management needs to be enhanced.
  • The pressure of the winding mechanism&#;s pressure roller is insufficient.
  • A problem has arisen as a result of the paper&#;s poor quality.

To solve the paper overlapping problem, consider the following factors:

  • The balance of the rewinding shaft and lay-on roller, as well as the pressure control of the lay-on roller.
  • Maintain the tension control
  • The design of the thermal roll forming machine.

A lay-on roller, precision pressure regulator, automatic tension controller, and other equipment are included in the Jota paper slitting machine to tackle the problem of paper overlapping.

Figure 21 Tension Control in Slitting and Rewinding

What Are the Advantages of Using a Paper Slitter Rewinder?

The following are some of the benefits of using a slitter rewinder:

  • It provides the highest slit edge quality possible
  • Multiple cuts can be made at once, and the material can be rewound onto different core sizes or slit from a master roll.
  • The basic purpose of the slitting machine is to unwind a large mother roll, cut and slit it using a knife (round disc knife or razor blade knife), and then rewind the narrow-finished rolls or tiny diameter rolls. The final rolls will next go through the following steps: printing, die-cutting, or laminating.
  • Slitting machines and cross-cutting sheeting machines are key printing press auxiliary equipment. The slitting machine cuts large rolls of material into small rolls, and the cross-cutting sheeting machine cuts large rolls of material into sheets.
  • Productivity is high.

Figure 22 Mass Production of Narrow Paper Rolls

  • On average, 20 ATM or POS rolls are produced per minute, resulting in a monthly output of 20*60*8*22=211,200 tiny rolls which is quite profitable
  • The tightness of the rewinding can be adjusted.
  • The rewinding tightness can be changed using a precise regulator to meet your needs.
  • With a lay-on roller, the problem of overlapping may be avoided, and material waste can be effectively controlled.
  • Visible quality Siemens PLC and touch control screen
  • Optional parts for option, and certainly, production efficiency might be increased.

On the whole, a paper slitting machine is very beneficial for your business growth due to its various advantages.

How Can I Maintain a Paper Slitter Rewinder

To ensure that your paper slitting machine serves you well, it must be properly cared for and maintained.

The longer time-span of your rolling machine is entirely dependent on how effectively you maintain it.

The following guide will assist you to better understand how to care for your roll slitting machine.

Lubrication

Lubricating oil should be added to the oil cups, moving surfaces, and oil eyes on a regular basis.

Because of the high friction on the thermal paper roll slitting machine, you should lubricate it frequently.

Figure 23 High Quality Lubrication

Quantity of Lubricant

Always make sure you spray the proper amount of lubricant oil on the gear train. The sprocket system should be treated similarly. The entire roll slitting machine system will work smoothly and evenly as a result of this.

Wiping

It&#;s important to remember to wipe away any residual lubricants that get on regions that aren&#;t supposed to be lubricated.

Fastening

Check for any slack spots when fastening. You should retighten any loose parts in your roll slitting machine to avoid any damage or injury.

Rubber Roller

Make sure the rubber roller does not come into touch with the oil used on the thermal paper slitting machine.

Steel Roller

Make sure the rust on the steel roller is removed. This should be done on the roll slitting machine&#;s other parts as well.

Maintenance of Parts

Ensure that the electrical control components are protected from vibration and pollution. At all times, all electrical parts should be maintained dry and clean.

You must also keep an eye out for worn-out parts in addition to basic care and maintenance.

You may have gotten a better deal on a smaller rewinder a few years ago.

However, you may see changes over time, and it could become worse if you don&#;t look after the machines.

You may notice a decrease in overall performance, the need to replace worn-out replacement parts, and problems.

These are only a few of the cautions, and they should be enough to make you nervous.

If any of these problems occur, it&#;s time to upgrade your roll slitting machine.

System Upgrade

If you&#;ve bought your paper slitting equipment from a reputable manufacturer, they can help you with all the upgrades or replacements needed.

However, there are three types of paper slitting machine equipment that may need to be upgraded. They are as follows:

Controls

If your CPU fails, your entire system may stop working.

The programmable logic controller includes a CPU (PLC). Your operator interface or human-machine interface should be replaced (OI).

This will provide you far more control while also making the operator&#;s job easier.

HMIs and OIs may come in a variety of screen sizes, depending on your unique requirements.

They all have various capacities when it comes to paper slitting.

Figure 24 Slit Paper Rolls

Drives

You should consider changing all of the drives in the system for better efficiency and control.

Variable frequency AC drives should be used to replace the old ones.

The voltage ranges are subject to change. The 480VAC is, however, the most prevalent.

Motors

If you want to save a lot of energy, you should always replace your old motors with new ones.

It will lead to lower energy expenses in the long run.

Switch to AC motors if you&#;re currently utilizing DC motors and wish to significantly lower your energy consumption.
