Carbide Slitters and Slitting Knives

Introduction

Slitting knives cut continuous webs of material into narrower widths. Tungsten carbide slitters maintain sharp edges and precise dimensions through long production runs.

Slitting Applications

Carbide slitting knives are used for metal coil, film, foil, paper, textiles, and packaging materials. They produce clean, burr-free cuts without frequent blade changes.

Rotary Shears

Rotary carbide slitting knives shear material as it passes between upper and lower circular blades. Their precision ensures consistent slit widths and edge quality.

Long Edge Life

Carbide slitting knives last 10 to 50 times longer than steel blades. This reduces blade inventory, changeover downtime, and scrap from blade dulling.

Custom Geometry

Slitting knives can be manufactured in various diameters, thicknesses, and edge angles. Custom bevels and relief angles optimize cutting for specific materials.

Conclusion

Carbide slitters and slitting knives improve cutting quality, reduce downtime, and lower operating costs in high-volume slitting operations.
