We will introduce a case study that addresses the issues faced by customers troubled by poor cutting edges of individually packaged bags for snacks and food. ■Problem Due to the poor cutting edges of individually packaged bags (not cut sharply), there were constant complaints from consumers. Additionally, there were numerous reports of dirty cutting edges, difficulty in opening the bags, and leftover cuts, occurring almost daily. ■Proposal Super hard cutter NOVAS for food packaging machines ■Results The super hard material has high hardness, and due to the difference in sharpening precision compared to other companies, it was able to cut the film sharply, improving the product quality of the cutting edges. Furthermore, complaints regarding film cutting remarkably decreased. ■Case Summary - Issue: Poor cutting edges of individually packaged bags leading to constant consumer complaints - Key points of the introduced product: Characteristics of the super hard material and differences in sharpening precision compared to other companies

We will introduce a case study that addresses the challenges faced by customers struggling with the occurrence of bundled packaging and empty bags. ■Challenge While manufacturing individually wrapped confectionery products, the commonly used iron and stainless steel blades were wearing out quickly, leading to poor cutting performance and the generation of bundled packaging and empty bags. Although we were removing these issues with inspection equipment, we wanted to eliminate them entirely due to their frequent occurrence. ■Proposal Ultra-hard cutter NOVAS for food packaging machines ■Result After switching to this product, the sharpness of the blades improved. Compared to standard iron and stainless steel, the lifespan is also longer, enabling long-term continuous operation and stable production. Additionally, the frequent occurrence of bundled packaging and empty bags has significantly decreased. ■Summary of the case - Challenge: Frequent occurrence of bundled packaging and empty bags - Key points of the proposed product: Sharpness, long-term stable operation, reduction of waste

We would like to introduce a case study that addresses the concerns of customers who want to reduce the frequency of cutter replacements for food packaging machines. ■Concern Replacing and adjusting the cutter takes a lot of time, sometimes more than half a day. During the replacement, the machine also stops, leading to a decrease in production volume, which affects the production line of the previous process. Additionally, since iron and stainless steel blades required frequent replacement, there was a desire to reduce this as much as possible. ■Proposal Ultra-hard cutter NOVAS for food packaging machines ■Result Previously, iron cutter blades were replaced and adjusted once a month, but after switching to our product, the replacement frequency changed to approximately once every two years, significantly improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the risk of injuries that occurred during cutter replacements was also reduced, contributing to a reform in the working style of on-site employees. ■Summary of the case - Issue: Replacing and adjusting the cutter takes time, and the machine stops, leading to reduced production volume. - Proposed product points: Improved production efficiency, reduced unnecessary work, enhanced safety.
