Non-Standard Film Slitting Blades

Rounded 3 Hole Blades

Rounded 3-hole blades for film slitting, made for safer handling and stable cutting performance.

Customized sizes are available, according to your drawing or sample.

  • Fully Custom
  • Expedited Production Processing

Rounded 3-hole blades are precision circular slitting knives engineered for high-speed film, foil, and flexible packaging converting lines. These blades feature a three-hole mounting configuration for secure fitment on standard knife holders from major OEM slitter manufacturers. Manufactured from vacuum heat-treated tool steels or solid tungsten carbide, they deliver consistent cut quality and extended service life in continuous production environments. Typical hardness ranges from HRC 58–62 for D2/M2 grades to HRA 89–92 for carbide, with thickness tolerances held to ±0.001 mm and surface finishes below Ra 0.2 µm. Ideal for slitting BOPP, PET, LDPE, metallized films, and aluminum foil, these blades reduce downtime and material waste in demanding 24/7 operations.

Take a Closer Look

  • Flexible Packaging

    Slitting of BOPP, PET, LDPE, and metallized films on duplex, turret, and center-slitting rewinders running at speeds up to 800 m/min.

  • Label Converting

    Precision cutting of pressure-sensitive adhesive laminates, release liners, and multi-layer constructions on narrow-web slitter rewinders.

  • Aluminum Foil Processing

    Slitting of thin-gauge aluminum foil (6–50 µm) for food packaging, pharmaceutical blister packs, and household foil, where carbide blades provide superior wear resistance.

  • Paper & Nonwovens

    Cutting of lightweight coated papers, tissue, and nonwoven fabrics on high-speed rewinders, requiring clean edges and minimal dust.

  • Extrusion Coating & Lamination

    Trimming of coextruded films, adhesive-coated webs, and laminated structures where blade durability directly impacts line uptime.

Advantages of Rounded 3 Hole Blades

  • Enhanced Durability & Longevity: Up to 600% more durable than conventional steel blades, offering superior wear resistance.

  • Increased Productivity: Fewer blade replacements lead to less downtime and more consistent operations.

  • Precise, Clean Cuts: Reduced friction ensures smoother and more accurate cutting results.

  • Reduced Waste: Minimizes start-up and end-of-line waste, improving material efficiency.

  • Optimized Cutting Performance: Ideal for high-speed, high-heat cutting environments, providing reliable performance under demanding conditions.

  • Global Reach: Our blades are trusted and exported to over 50 countries worldwide.

Why Choose Yishi

YISHI Machinery operates an in-house vacuum heat treatment facility and precision grinding shop, enabling tight control over hardness uniformity and dimensional accuracy. Every blade is inspected for runout, parallelism, and surface finish before shipment. We accept custom orders without minimum quantity requirements and deliver within 15–20 working days for standard custom blades. Our engineering team provides material selection guidance based on your specific film type, line speed, and blade life targets. With export experience to over 50 countries, we support OEM and aftermarket requirements with consistent quality and direct factory pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What materials are available for rounded 3-hole blades?

    We offer D2 (Cr12MoV) for general film slitting, M2 high-speed steel for elevated temperature applications, and tungsten carbide (K10/K20) for highly abrasive materials like metallized films and aluminum foil. Material selection depends on your specific film type, line speed, and desired blade life.

  • Can you match my existing blade dimensions and hole pattern?

    Yes. Provide a dimensional drawing or a sample blade, and we will reverse-engineer the exact OD, ID, thickness, hole diameter, PCD, and countersink specifications. We can also work from OEM part numbers if available.

  • What tolerances can you hold on thickness and parallelism?

    Standard thickness tolerance is ±0.001 mm, with parallelism within 0.002 mm. Tighter tolerances can be achieved on request for ultra-precision slitting applications.

  • What is the typical lead time for custom blades?

    For custom dimensions without special material requirements, lead time is 15–20 working days. Carbide blades may require 20–25 working days. Rush orders can be accommodated depending on current production capacity.

  • Do you provide samples for testing?

    Yes, we can supply sample blades in your specified dimensions and material for on-machine evaluation. Sample charges may apply, which are typically credited against the first production order.

  • How do I specify the hole pattern for a 3-hole blade?

    Provide the hole diameter, the pitch circle diameter (PCD), and the angle between holes (typically 120° for three equally spaced holes). A drawing or CAD file is preferred to avoid miscommunication.
