What Are Converting Blades?

Converting blades are used in the plastic converting industry. Plastic converting companies procure plastic film rolls from manufacturers and process these rolls into solutions tailored to meet client demands. This process can include a variety of techniques including printing, laminating, perforating, precision slitting, and pouch formation. These operations are designed to add value into the end product, aligning with particular product demands or brand identities.

Our Selection of Converting Blades

Fortis: Coated Razor Blades

Fortis: Coated Razor Blades

FORTIS razor blades are stainless steel blades with a special treatment for industrial use. The cutting edges are additionally protected with an extremely hard coating, increasing the wear resistance and decreasing the friction between the blade and the film.

Advantages of Using Our Converting Blades

Plastic Roll Edge Quality Slitting

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.

Converting Blades for Slitter Rewinders

Slitter Rewinder Machines

A slitter rewinder is a machine used to slit a master roll of material to a smaller width. In this process the master roll is unwound, slit into multiple lanes and then rewound again to a smaller roll, hence the name slitter rewinder. This is done in order to further process the material in the next steps of a production process.

Slitter Blades for Plastic Film Converting

Industrial razor blades, noted for their acute sharpness and slim profile, are used for slitting delicate materials such as plastic films and foils. Their design ensures accurate incisions, optimal for demanding slitting tasks.

Industrial Razor 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.
