Case Study: Circular Blades for High-Precision Thin Material in Poland
A Polish converter cutting 12 µm BOPP film at 600 m/min was burning through 4 D2 slitters per week. The fix was a 2-week field audit, a steel-grade change, an edge-prep change, and a coolant-nozzle relocation. This case study walks through the diagnostic, the trial, and the result — a 6× service life improvement that paid back the entire project cost in 11 weeks.
