How quality machine knives can improve production flow, reduce downtime and cut costs
Industries as diverse as food & beverage packaging and wrapping, timber processing, recycling, printing, document processing and textile manufacturing have one thing in common – they all use machine knives for many of their processes.At Precision Edge Limited, we have been manufacturing and refurbishing blades for over thirty years, and in that time we’ve learnt how good quality knives can be used to drastically improve production flow, significantly reduce downtime and ultimately lower costs. Here are some key factors to focus on.
Increased Durability
We work closely with our material manufacturers who are constantly developing and refining the steel technology used in the production of our blades. The result is a product which will last much longer than other conventional alternatives.
Quick Replacement
Our 7000 sq foot production facility in Sussex, UK, is one of the best in our industry, and we’re constantly developing new ways of increasing efficiency even further. This allows us to produce blades quickly without compromising on the quality of the final product. We also keep many of our machine knives in stock ready for immediate dispatch.
Fast Delivery
To reduce downtime even further, we offer next day delivery for customers throughout Europe. Customers located in the South of England are also welcome to collect from our premises in Sussex. In fact, wherever you are in the world, it is well worth paying us a visit to discuss your requirements in detail and see our production facility for yourself.
Don’t Replace – Regrind
We apply the same stringent attention to detail and high production values to our regrinding service that we use in the production of our own machine knives. Provided the blade which requires resharpening is of adequate quality, this can save a substantial sum in comparison to the cost of replacement.
Buy Quality
Finally, when replacing your machine knives, it makes sense to consider their likely lifespan, as well as their potential for resharpening. As mentioned, our PowerEdge-HPS blade will last many times longer than conventional steel, and has superb regrind potential due to its remarkably high level of wear resistance.
