Film Slitting Blades

What are Film Slitting Blades?

Film Slitting Blades are specialized cutting tools with a sharp edge. These industrial razor blades serve a crucial purpose: they precisely slit or convert materials into narrower strips. Foils and films demand razor-sharp blades for consistent, correct cuts. Film slitting blades excel at cutting these materials due to their sharp edges. Film slitting blades are essential in various sectors using slitting machines (also known as slitter rewinders) these unwind larger rolls, cut them into desired widths, and tightly rewind smaller rolls.

Why Choose Fortisblades

If precision, quality and short lead time all matter, you are at the right place. Fortisblades offers both ceramic coated and solid ceramic industrial razor blades for all kinds of slitting and rewinding. It doesn't matter if it's packaging, labels, tapes or even specific materials such as thermal transfer ribbon (TTR), our industrial razor blades are perfect for industries like film extrusion, conversion, lamination or plastic recycling.

Advantages of Using Our Slitter Blades

Minimize Blade Wear

When slitting abrasive materials, the blades can start to wear. Our high quality converting blades and slitter blades are recommended due to their robustness against such conditions, thus maintaining slitting efficiency and longevity.

Improve Plastic Roll Edge Quality

Degradation in edge quality, especially in denser materials, can result in corrugated edges, dust, and “angel hairs.” Using our high quality film converting blades can help maintain superior edge quality.

Reduce Blade Vibrations

High-speed operations can induce vibrations in thinner blades, compromising cut quality. Our robust slitter blades are engineered to minimize vibrations, ensuring precise cuts.

Ensure The Right Blade Angle

Incorrectly mounted blades can penetrate the material at the wrong angle, leading to interrupted slits. Ensuring the correct cutting angle and using undamaged blades are essential to avoid interrupted cuts.

Types of Industrial Film Slitting Blades

Industrial Film Slitting Blade Recommendations

When selecting blades, consider the thickness, material composition, and any additional coatings which might influence performance. Blades are designed in various forms such as 3-hole, Slotted, Gillette Type... The selection depends on the specifics of the blade holder design utilized in the slitting machinery.
