Chip-breaker blades: efficiency in waste management

Chip-breaker blades fragment the surplus trim from the strip edges to make it easier to remove and recycle, keeping the cutting line flowing.

Features of chip-breaker blades

Made in high-toughness steels (1.2379, 1.2345) to withstand continuous impact without losing the edge:

  • Clean, precise cuts: no jams and with smooth waste removal.
  • Extreme wear resistance: longer replacement intervals.
  • Mechanical reliability: optimised geometries that prevent breakage in high-speed processes.

Chip breaker blades

They are integrated into processes where continuity is non-negotiable:

  • High-speed slitting lines, for different sheet thicknesses.
  • Longitudinal cutting lines (slitters): management of surplus edges.
  • Galvanising and pickling lines: resistance in chemical environments.
  • Rolling lines (cold and hot): work under high pressure and temperature.
  • Materials: carbon steel, stainless, aluminium and other alloys.

Factors to consider

To make your investment pay off, evaluate two critical factors:

  • Material toughness: balance between hardness and impact resistance.
  • Repeatability: each batch behaves the same as the previous one.
