Frequently asked questions

Common questions

What knives do you make for the paper sector?

Plain, toothed and self-sharpening knives for cutting paper, cardboard and tissue, in tool steel or tungsten carbide depending on the application.

Do you manufacture for specific machines?

Yes. We manufacture knives to drawing or sample compatible with converting, rewinding and cutting equipment such as Fabio Perini, PCMC, Gambini or Smurfit Kappa.

What are self-sharpening knives?

Knives whose geometry and treatment let the edge partly regenerate while cutting, so they perform for longer. They are mainly used on continuous tissue and converting lines.

What is the maximum circular knife diameter?

We manufacture circular paper knives up to 1 metre in diameter, with the flatness needed for an even cut.

Do you regrind used paper knives?

Yes. We regrind them keeping the original geometry, which is the most cost-effective way to use each knife’s full service life.
