What are flat slitter blades?

Flat-straight slitter blades are a type of cutting tool used in the process of slitting, which involves cutting a roll or sheet of material into smaller strips or widths. Slitter blades are typically made of high-carbon steel and are designed to withstand the demands of the slitting process.

They are typically used in slitting machines, which are used to cut materials such as paper, film, foil, nonwovens, and other types of sheet materials. The flat-straight slitter blades are used in many industries, including the paper and packaging, printing, and converting industries.

Advantages of using flat slitter blades

There are many advantages of using flat slitter blades:

  • Durability:
    Flat slitter blades are typically made from high-quality materials such as high-speed steel or tungsten carbide, which makes them durable and resistant to wear and tear.

  • Cost-effective:
    Flat slitter blades are also more efficient to use, as they produce minimal waste and require less maintenance, which helps to reduce overall operating costs.

  • Ease of use:
    Flat slitter blades are easy to install and maintain, making them suitable for high-volume and low-volume slitting applications.

  • Versatility:
    Flat slitter blades can be used for multiple tasks. They are just as effective for cutting food as they are for cutting metal or plastic.

How are flat slitter blades manufactured?

  • Cutting:
    The manufacturing process of flat slitter blades starts with cutting the blade's shape from a metal sheet using a CNC machine or stamping.

  • Heating:
    Next, the blade is heat treated to harden and temper, improving its durability.

  • Sharpening:
    After the blade is heat treated, it is sharpened to remove any imperfections, and it undergoes a grinding process to refine its edge and make it even sharper. 

  • Coating:
    A coating process is used to improve the resistance to wear or corrosion. The most used materials in the coating process are chromium and tungsten.
