Perforation Blades – Precision Cutting for Controlled Tearing

Perforation Blades – Precision Cutting for Controlled Tearing

Introduction
Perforation blades are specialized cutting tools designed to create evenly spaced cuts or holes in materials, allowing for easy separation or tearing without compromising product integrity. They are widely used in packaging, printing, hygiene product manufacturing, and various converting applications.

At Snijer, we supply high-performance perforation blades engineered for consistent results, minimal material damage, and long service life. Whether for plastic films, paper, cardboard, or nonwoven fabrics, our blades deliver clean and precise perforations tailored to your needs.

Why Perforation Blades Are Essential for Industry
Perforation blades play a critical role in enabling functional and aesthetic separation in products. By selecting the right tooth profile, pitch, and bevel angle, they ensure controlled tearing and high-speed production compatibility.

Key Advantages
✅ Controlled Tear Resistance – Ensures easy separation while maintaining material strength.
✅ Customizable Tooth Profiles – U, V, pointed, scalloped, and other geometries available.
✅ High Precision – Even, consistent perforations across the entire cut length.
✅ Versatile Applications – Suitable for films, paper, textiles, and more.

Material Options

• D2 (1.2379) Tool Steel – Superior wear resistance for high-demand applications.

• M2 (1.3343) High-Speed Steel (HSS) – Ideal for high-speed production with long-lasting sharpness.

• Stainless Steel – Perfect for hygiene-sensitive and corrosion-prone environments.

• Carbide-Tipped Options – Exceptional hardness for abrasive or adhesive materials.

Optional Surface Coatings

• Titanium Nitride (TiN) – Enhances durability and reduces friction.

• Teflon (PTFE) – Prevents sticking in adhesive-heavy processes.

• Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) – Ensures smooth, wear-resistant cutting.

Typical Applications

• Tear-off packaging strips.

• Easy-open food and consumer goods packaging.

• Perforated tissue and hygiene products.

• Plastic bag perforations.

• Roll-to-roll converting systems.

Choosing the Right Perforation Blade

1. Material to be cut – Match blade grade and coating to the substrate.

2. Tooth profile – Select based on desired tear strength and finish.

3. Production speed – Choose material and coating for wear resistance at required speeds.

4. Blade dimensions – Ensure compatibility with machinery specifications.

Maintenance and Longevity

• Keep blades clean to prevent material build-up.

• Resharpen with correct techniques to maintain geometry.

• Store with protection to avoid damage.

• Replace blades before dulling affects quality.
