Guillotine shears and roll splitters help facilities cut oversized, dense, or difficult materials into smaller sections for easier handling, recycling, disposal, or downstream processing. AES provides splitting and shearing equipment for paper rolls, textiles, plastics, cores, and other bulky production materials. Whether you need a standalone cutting solution or equipment integrated with conveyors, balers, compactors, air systems, or controls, AES can help match the right system to your process.
Guillotine shears and roll splitters help facilities cut oversized, dense, or difficult materials into smaller sections for easier handling, recycling, disposal, or downstream processing. AES provides splitting and shearing equipment for paper rolls, textiles, plastics, cores, and other bulky production materials. Whether you need a standalone cutting solution or equipment integrated with conveyors, balers, compactors, air systems, or controls, AES can help match the right system to your process.

The type of roll splitter or guillotine shear for your operation will largely depend on the size, density, handling method, available floor space, and how the material will be processed after cutting. Some operations need to break down large rolls for easier recycling or disposal, while others need a shear to cut bulky scrap into manageable sections before conveying, baling, compacting, or further processing.
AES can help evaluate your material type, roll dimensions, loading requirements, safety needs, and downstream equipment connections. When a standard machine does not fit the application, AES can help develop a cutting solution that works with your process, whether that includes a standalone roll splitter, guillotine shear, infeed or discharge conveyors, hydraulic power units, controls, guarding, or a fully integrated material handling system.
Roll splitters and guillotine shears are used when large, heavy, or difficult-to-handle materials need to be opened, divided, or cut down before removal or further processing. These systems can make bulky scrap easier to load, convey, separate, bale, compact, recycle, or dispose of.
Roll splitters are commonly used to open oversized rolls of paper, film, foil, fabric, and nonwoven materials so the material can be separated from cores and handled more efficiently.
Shearing and splitting equipment can help reduce roll stock, packaging scrap, misprints, rejected material, and off-spec product into sections that are easier to move or process.
For facilities handling wound materials, roll splitters can help expose or separate material from cardboard, plastic, or metal cores before recycling or disposal.
Guillotine shears can cut dense, oversized, or awkward material into manageable pieces for safer loading, staging, collection, or transfer to downstream equipment.
Cutting larger material into smaller sections can improve handling before baling, compacting, shredding, hauling, sorting, or other recycling and waste-management steps.
AES can integrate roll splitters and shears with conveyors, controls, guarding, hydraulic systems, balers, compactors, shredders, or custom material handling layouts.

Find answers to common questions about industrial roll splitters, guillotine shears, and related equipment used to reduce large rolls, bulky scrap, packaging materials, and other difficult-to-handle waste streams.
Roll splitters are commonly used for paper, film, foil, textiles, nonwovens, packaging materials, and other roll stock that needs to be opened, separated, or reduced for handling.
A guillotine shear may be used when oversized scrap, dense material, or difficult-to-handle pieces need to be cut down before conveying, baling, compacting, hauling, or recycling.
Yes. Roll splitters can help expose or separate wound material from cardboard, plastic, or metal cores, making each material stream easier to handle or recycle.
Yes. AES can help integrate splitters and shears with conveyors, controls, hydraulic systems, balers, compactors, shredders, or other material handling equipment.
The right equipment depends on material type, roll size, density, loading method, available space, safety requirements, and what happens to the material after cutting. AES can help evaluate the application and recommend an appropriate setup.
