Slitting Knives/Razor Blades

Slitting knives and razor blades are precision cutting components installed on rotating shafts within slitting heads. They perform controlled cutting operations on various materials (films, foils, papers, textiles) by creating clean, burr-free edges through shearing action between upper and lower blades or against hardened counter-rollers. These components maintain dimensional accuracy and edge quality throughout high-speed production runs.

Slitting knives operate on shear cutting principles where material passes between precisely aligned rotating blades. Razor blades typically use score cutting against hardened anvil rollers. Both methods create controlled material separation through localized stress concentration exceeding material tensile strength, minimizing deformation and ensuring clean edges.
