The carbide cutter is made of steel, and compared to stainless steel, it has a Young's modulus that is about three times higher, resulting in very high rigidity, which makes it difficult for the tip of the blade to escape when cutting film. As a result, the quality of the cut surface of the film is significantly improved, and this condition can be maintained for a long time. Additionally, due to its high rigidity, there is no need to press the blades against each other strongly. Sufficient cutting ability can be achieved with just a slight contact of the blade tips. Since there is no need to press the blades together strongly, damage to the blade tips can be minimized, and further, the excellent wear resistance inherent in carbide contributes to outstanding durability. 【Features】 ■ Our unique carbide alloy cutter ■ Achieves an "ultra" lifespan far exceeding that of steel ■ Contributes to quality improvement with sharp cutting ■ Significantly reduces maintenance effort and time ■ Maintains a lifespan similar to new even after re-sharpening ■ Compatible with all types of packaging materials ■ Improves production efficiency ■ Reduces costs *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
