What is a Score Slitter Knife?
Arpeco blades or score slitter knives are commonly used for crush-cutting paper, film, foil, and non-woven materials. Score slitter blades or “crush cut blades” are used in the cutting process of passing a material between a blade and a hardened roll or “sleeve.” The material is crushed into two separate pieces between the knife and the roll.
Because of the constant metal-on-metal contact between the score cut blade and the roll, these blades don’t have a razor-sharp edge. Instead, they have a rounded edge with a larger radius. This ensures longer run times, as sharper blades would dull quickly and create an uneven cut. A score-cut knife is used for continuous cutting applications and is ideal for perforating paper or similar materials.
