INDUSTRIAL KNIVES WITH PROFILE

INDUSTRIAL KNIVES WITH PROFILE

Industrial knives and technical knives are used in a wide variety of industries and commercial operations to manufacture and process materials. Depending on the field of application, these special knives are subject to very special requirements in terms of precision, wear resistance, cutting edge stability as well as freedom from distortion and evenness when exposed to heat.

NEAR-NET SHAPED SPECIAL PROFILES FOR MORE COST EFFECTIVENESS

voestalpine BÖHLER Profil relies on profiles which are very close to the final shape of the knife. This leads to distinctive advantages in further processing and cost-effectiveness. In order to further increase efficiency, finished industrial knives are also manufactured – as a result no machining is necessary afterwards.

HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS FOR THE BEST PROFILES

In order to fulfil these requirements, voestalpine BÖHLER Profil industrial knives are manufactured from the highest quality materials such as tool steel types 1.2379, 1.3343 and 1.2080. The composition of the alloy is decisive for excellent quality. For voestalpine BÖHLER Profil, standards are a matter of course, but the market demands more. For this reason, voestalpine BÖHLER Profil does not operate at the lower end of the standard specifications in the composition of the alloys, but focusses 100% on the best product properties.

NEAR-NET SHAPED SPECIAL PROFILES FOR MORE COST EFFECTIVENESS

Carbon is very important for the hardness and tensile strength of alloyed steel, which increases with increasing content
Silicon increases wear resistance and toughness as well as the elastic limit
Manganese increases the strength of the steel and ensures high wear resistance
Chromium is an important carbide former and improves wear resistance
Molybdenum is a strong carbide former and ensures fine grain formation, it improves cutting properties, increases strength and toughness values
Vanadium is an important carbide former and thus increases the wear resistance, it ensures a fine-grained casting structure and increases the elastic limit

STRENGTH LIES IN HARDNESS

Perfectly coordinated and monitored hardening processes lead to the best hardening properties with the lowest tolerances and fluctuations. Particularly complex geometries are hardened using laser hardening. Thanks to the targeted and localised application of heat, the industrial knife hardly warps at all during machining. This experience is particularly suitable for industrial knives that are subject to high mechanical and chemical stress. The result of a perfectly harmonised hardening process is directly reflected in the quality of the end products and also in the quantity of waste.

ADDED VALUE THAT CONVINCES IN A WIDE VARIETY OF INDUSTRIES

Wood panel industry

In close innovative cooperation with our customers, we develop products such as disposable knives and wear shoes for the wood panel industry. Experts at voestalpine BÖHLER Profil apply their knowledge and experience to the continuous improvement of system solutions.

Sawmill and pulp industry

Renowned machine manufacturers in the sawmill and pulp industry have been among our customers for many decades. For everything from knife profiles for cutting heads to bracket profiles for disc chippers, tailored solutions make a decisive contribution to the qualitative market leadership of our customers.

Wood Panel Industry

voestalpine BÖHLER Profil impresses in the planing industry with precision products made of high-speed steel for use as system planing knives. By continuously developing and optimising our production facilities, we can offer our customers product solutions that meet their requirements and thus ensure their competitiveness on the market.

Recyclingindustrie

Environmental protection and resource conservation are very important, especially in today's world. For this reason, recycling and the reutilisation of raw materials are becoming increasingly important. Whether for shredding, pelletising, grinding or crushing, voestalpine BÖHLER Profil offers the right product solution for many applications in the recycling industry.

Textile industry

Cotton is the most frequently used natural fibre in the textile industry due to its many beneficial properties. In order to process the cotton fibres into textiles, the fibre flocks must first be prepared in carding machines. voestalpine BÖHLER Profil manufactures nit knives made of stainless steel for these systems, which are used to clean the fibre flocks. The threads spun from it are used for the production of home and clothing textiles, among other things. The textile industry also offers numerous other possibilities for the use of special profiles
