Exact-fit Corrugator Slitter Tooling for Marquip or MarquipWardUnited — machined to the original drawings by the OEM that built your machine, and shipping now from our USA parts hubs.
Slitter tooling is a critical part that precisely slits and scores board to meet product specifications. When properly maintained, it improves cut quality, reduces dust and waste, and helps ensure consistent performance in downstream operations. and sheeter roll stands, splicers.BW Papersystems supplies OEM Sliter/Scorer Tooling for Marquip or MarquipWardUnited machines across North America.
Why it matters
Worn scoring heads and misaligned tooling can create inconsistent score profiles, cracked scores, and dimensional drift
If you notice fuzzy, torn, or frayed board edges, your slitter knives may be dull or worn.
Excessive paper dust, rising scrap rates, and frequent operator intervention are common indicators of worn slitter tooling.
Applications
OEM slitter tooling engineered original BW Papersystems specifications for precise slitting, accurate scoring, and consistent board quality. Designed to maintain exact fit, alignment, and performance across all board grades while reducing dust, scrap, and downtime.
BW Papersystems OEM slitter tooling uses original materials, hardness levels, and dimensional tolerances to deliver longer service life, cleaner cuts, improved score quality, and reliable corrugator performance. Protect your equipment, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure consistent results with genuine OEM components.
Legacy coverage
BW Papersystems holds the original build records behind these nameplates. That is why a Marquip corrugatorcorrugator ordered here fits the first time: it comes from the same drawings your machine was built from.

Answers
Slitter tooling consists of the knives, spacers, and scoring components used to slit and score corrugated board to the required dimensions and specifications.
Slitter tooling is used to cut and score corrugated board as it moves through the corrugator.
Slitter tooling should be inspected regularly as part of a preventive maintenance program. Knives, spacers, and scoring elements should be replaced when wear exceeds recommended tolerances or when cut quality, score accuracy, or machine performance begins to decline.
Common signs include frayed or fuzzy edges, excessive dust generation, poor score quality, board dimensional variation, increased scrap rates, and more frequent operator adjustments to maintain performance.
Maintaining slitter tooling in optimal condition helps ensure clean cuts, accurate scoring, stable machine performance, and consistent board control.
