Steellogy manufactures precision industrial knives for the paper and packaging industry. From guillotine blades for sheet cutting to circular slitter knives for web converting, we deliver OEM-compatible quality at competitive prices. Every blade is produced in Europe using certified tool steels with full material traceability.
Guillotine Blades for Paper Cutting
Paper guillotine blades are the workhorse of sheet cutting operations in print finishing, packaging, and paper converting. These long, straight industrial knives deliver clean, precise cuts through thick stacks of paper, cardboard, and board materials. Steellogy produces guillotine blades in lengths up to 2500mm, manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel) or with tungsten carbide tipped cutting edges for maximum blade life.
Our paper guillotine blades are compatible with all major machine manufacturers including Polar, Perfecta, Wohlenberg, Senator, Schneider, and Mandelli. Hardness range: HRC 58-65 depending on steel grade and application. We offer both standard replacement blades and custom specifications for special cutting requirements.
Circular Slitter Knives
Circular slitter knives are essential in paper converting operations where continuous webs must be slit into narrower widths. These precision-ground circular blades operate at high speeds and must maintain a sharp cutting edge through thousands of meters of material. The quality of the slitter knife directly affects edge quality, dust generation, and the overall appearance of the finished product.
Steellogy manufactures industrial slitter knives from D2 tool steel, HSS M2, and tungsten carbide. Our slitter blades are compatible with converting lines from Valmet, Andritz, BW Papersystems, PCMC, and other leading equipment manufacturers. Available in diameters from 50mm to 400mm with tolerances to ±0.005mm.
Rewinder and Sheeter Blades
Rewinder blades and sheeter knives perform specialized functions in paper production. They must deliver consistent cut quality at high line speeds while minimizing paper dust generation. Blade geometry, steel grade, and surface finish all play critical roles in performance. Our rewinder blades are compatible with Valmet, Andritz, Jagenberg, and other major paper machine manufacturers.
Steel Grades for Paper Cutting Knives
Choosing the right steel grade is critical for paper cutting performance. D2 tool steel (HRC 58-62) offers excellent wear resistance for standard paper grades at a competitive price point. HSS M2 provides superior edge retention for high-volume cutting of coated and abrasive paper stocks. Tungsten carbide tipped blades deliver the longest blade life — up to 10x longer than conventional steel — making them cost-effective for 24/7 operations despite higher initial cost.
For tissue paper cutting, softer steel grades with razor-sharp edge geometry minimize fiber pull-out and dust. For corrugated board, high-toughness grades like A2 resist the impact loads from cutting through fluted structures. Our engineering team helps you select the optimal steel grade for your specific paper type and cutting conditions.
