Hyde Straight Knives and Blades Are Used by Paper Industry

Hyde manufactures straight knives and blades that are used in the paper industry.

Even in this day and age of e-readers, tablets, and going green, we use paper products all the time.  We may not use a sheet of paper everyday but we use materials like cardboard, cardstock, labels, and packaging.

Long before we buy paper products they need to be cut. Computer paper comes to us eight and half by eleven but it’s not originally made that size. Most of the paper products we use began on huge rolls of bulk processed material.

These huge rolls or coils need to cut and/or slit to make the end products we buy and use. To make those cuts and slits the paper industry needs quality straight knives and blades.

Paper may grow on trees, so to speak, but the knives and blades that cut paper do not. They are made out of the finest steel by Hyde Industrial Blade Solutions. For decades, Hyde has been making high performing knives and blades for the paper industry.

That’s saying something because the paper industry is very competitive and constantly changing. Hyde knows that for your paper business to be successful, it needs blades that last a long time. Long lasting blades reduce down time. Reduced down time improves productivity and yield.

Paper companies that boost productivity and yield also boost their bottom line. That’s why Hyde manufactures knives and blades that focus on performance and durability. 

The following plays a major role in the performance of a blade:

• Bevel angle
• Edge finish style
• Edge thickness
• Flatness
• Hone technique
• Side run-out
• Steel choice
• Surface micro finish

Hyde will likely make your blade through laser cutting. Laser cutting allows Hyde to cut just about any shape your business needs.

Hyde is also adroit at heat treating. Heat treating is how Hyde makes your blade as flat as possible. 

Not only does Hyde have the ability to do both processes, they do them both in-house. This means you can rest assure that your straight knives and blades will be manufactured to your standards and your time table.

Hyde monitors your tolerances very carefully. It’s important to Hyde that your knives and blades are easy to install and tune. We want your machines up and running as soon as possible.
