Bagging Knives by Precision Edge
Comments Off on Bagging Knives by Precision EdgeIf you or your company have a manufacturing process which includes packaging or bagging with a plastic material, you will know how critical it is that the packaging machine should run smoothly and reliably during the whole run. A breakdown at the packaging stage can cause delays which have a knock-on effect further up the line, with complex and expensive equipment potentially standing idle.
Plastic packaging and bagging are used to keep products fresh and uncontaminated in many branches of the food industry. If the packaging operation fails, it can lead to food products not being securely packed, or worse, spilling out and ending up on the floor. As quality and hygiene standards are rightly stringent in this area, a malfunction of this nature could potentially lead to an entire batch of product becoming spoiled or unsaleable.
At the heart of plastic wrapping and bagging machines are the bagging blades which cut and shape the packaging materials to the required forms. These high performance machine knives are expected to work reliably day-in and day-out for long periods. A broken machine knife can quickly bring a production line to a halt, and may prove costly in terms of lost time and ruined stock. Or, if they become worn, these bagging knives will not perform consistently, and quality control issues are sure to arise. Ancillary blades such as perforation bagging knives which form packaging features such as opening strips must also be maintained in line with the main bagging blades if the equipment is to run consistently and reliably.
When your operation depends on components like bagging knives being readily available, it makes sense to partner with a company which can support you through thick and thin with the finest quality products produced to suit your particular needs. Precision Edge are a company of precision engineers with over twenty-five years’ experience in the manufacture of the highest quality machine knives of all kinds, including bagging blades and perforation bagging knives. We supply to companies across all industries, with particular expertise in the food packaging industry. At our Horsham headquarters we keep an extensive stock of popular types of blades, ready to be dispatched at a moment’s notice. And throughout our history we have kept extensive files on the specifications of all the machine knives we’ve come across, so if we don’t have the blades you need, we can make them from scratch. Or, if your equipment uses a rare tool we’ve never come across before, all we need is an example from you and we can reverse- engineer the item and create a bespoke replacement.
We have created machine knives to replace blades from Bosch, FMC, Ilapak, SIG PACK, Endoline, Sandiacre, Aquarius, Ishida, Siat, Fuji, Rovema and many other companies. We also have extensive expertise in the fields of treatments and coatings, to provide you with even stronger and harder wearing products than the originals.
