Most manufacturers of stretch film will be familiar with “edge burn”; a local hot zone with blurred film edges, appearing on the side of the roll when winding the freshly extruded film. Our Fortisblades team knows how to ‘keep it cool’ with the right blade concept and can help manufacturers to reduce edge burn.
TTR stands for 'Thermal Tranfer Ribbons' and are widely used in label printers. These ink ribbons are cut from a thermal-transfer ink mother film. Many colours and in general 3 qualities are available: wax, wax resin and resin.
The plastic film processing industry participates in the circular economy to reduce the environmental foot print. Many new film products are produced with substantial content of recycled plastics.
Well engineered agricultural mulch films and bale wrapping stretch films have become increasingly important. Fierce competition in these films market has led to stronger films in terms of mechanical performance and lifetime. All efforts to produce excellent films can be lost due to poor slitting (high reels, breaking of the web and jagged edges).
Is the excessive wear of blades due to mineral TiO2 familiar to you?
We are daily challenged by the innovations and problems in the film and foil industry to develop a cutting tool that corresponds to the requested properties of the film, to highest outputs and lowest manufacturing costs.
For slitting very abrasive and though web material, the FORTIUS tungsten carbide blade might be the right choice for optimal results.
In the continuous search to make the best even better, Fortisblades developed the Fortius + .
Customers all over the world rely on FORTISBLADES to slit their web material. The FORTIBLADES toolbox is the robust packaging especially designed for the shipment of the razorblades safety boxes.
Film slitting is critically important in film production, especially with state-of-the-art tough films. When performed well, slitting can provide smooth winding and less wrinkling of film. However, poor cuts can generate a series of many negative effects.
