Product FAQ's
1. How do Bottom Slitter Knives differ from top slitter knives?
Bottom Slitter Knives are mounted on the lower shaft to provide stability, accurate alignment, and consistent strip width control, while Top Slitter Knives are positioned above to rotate against them and perform the primary cutting action, ensuring clean slitting, smooth edges, and precise material separation during operation.
2. What are the standard sizes available for Bottom Slitter Knives?
DIC Tools works as a Bottom Slitter Knives manufacturer offering standard and custom diameters, thicknesses, and bore sizes based on specific machine requirements, with precision grinding ensuring high dimensional accuracy, while export orders support fully customized dimensions for diverse industrial applications.
3. What outer diameter range is available for Bottom Slitter Knives?
Bottom Slitter Knives are available with outer diameters ranging from 70 mm to 108 mm. This range supports different slitting machine configurations, board thickness requirements, and cutting loads, ensuring proper knife engagement, stable rotation, and consistent cutting accuracy across various industrial setups.
4. What is the standard cutting angle of Bottom Slitter Knives?
Bottom Slitter Knives are commonly manufactured with a standard cutting angle of 3 degrees. This optimized angle ensures smooth penetration into material, reduced cutting force, minimal fiber pull-out, improved edge quality, lower machine stress, and stable performance during continuous slitting operations.
5. Which materials are used to manufacture Bottom Slitter Knives?
Bottom Slitter Knives are manufactured using materials such as 9CrSi, SKD11 (D2), HSS, and other selected tool steels. These materials provide excellent wear resistance, edge stability, hardness uniformity, and long service life under heavy-duty slitting and converting applications.
6. How do Bottom Slitter Knives improve cutting quality?
Bottom Slitter Knives improve cutting quality by maintaining sharp, stable edges, precise concentricity, and optimized cutting angles. This combination reduces tearing, ensures straight cuts, minimizes material deformation, and delivers consistent slit widths across different corrugated board grades during continuous production.
7. How do Bottom Slitter Knives achieve dustless cutting?
The sharp cutting edge combined with a precision mirror finish delivers consistent dustless cutting, reduces fiber breakage during slitting, improves overall product quality and workplace cleanliness, minimizes cleaning time, and supports higher production efficiency in continuous high-speed operations.
8. Can Bottom Slitter Knives be supplied in bulk?
Yes, DIC offers Bottom Slitter Knives in bulk quantities, supporting large-scale industrial requirements while ensuring uninterrupted production, consistent inventory availability, and optimized procurement planning for efficient and reliable long-term manufacturing operations.
9. Why are Bottom Slitter Knives preferred in paper slitting?
They offer clean, dust-free slitting through high-precision cutting edges, while durable materials ensure long service life under continuous operation, making them a preferred choice in paper processing industries and supporting consistent performance that improves product quality and overall production efficiency.
10. Do you offer customized sizes and materials for Bottom Slitter Knives?
Dedicated Impex Co. offers customized Bottom Slitter Knives tailored to customer and machine requirements, with flexible adjustment of sizes, thicknesses, and bore dimensions, application-specific material selection, and optimized design that ensures improved performance, longer tool life, and reliable cutting results.
