How to Choose a Slitter Blade for Corrugated Slitting
Corrugated slitting is one of the most abrasive industrial cutting applications. The substrate is a multi-layer composite of kraft paper + adhesive + flute.
How to Choose Crusher & Granulator Blades
Crusher blades take the largest impact loads in industrial cutting. A 30 mm M16 nut in a granulator feed will shatter a D2 blade in 200 cycles.
How to Choose a Granulator Knife
Granulator rotor and bed knives see impact, contamination and abrasive fillers. The right grade, geometry and edge prep separates a 2-week knife from a 6-month.
Choosing Slitting Blades for Paper Converting
Paper slitting looks simple until you account for the substrate GSM, the caliper variation, the trim, the lay-flat tension and the line speed.
How to Choose a Shear Blade for Plate Steel
Plate shear blades see impact, work-hardening substrate and variable stock thickness. The grade, hardness and chamfer choice drive a 10× difference in service.
