Have you encountered a cutting problem? Could your processes be improved by changing your machine knives?
Fernite can help improve performance and efficiency by manufacturing custom knives, specifically designed around your process.
While we have an extensive database of drawings for thousands of knife applications, more and more customers are requiring bespoke solutions to provide optimum cutting performance.
That’s what Fernite’s Blade Development Service is all about.
We’ll work with you to design, develop, test and manufacture the knife that suits your exact requirements.
Whether your existing blades aren’t delivering the performance you need, or whether you require a new design for a specific application, Fernite’s Blade Development Service can help you improve:
Cutting performance: A combination of expert knowledge, state of the art technology and the finest quality materials mean we can produce a blade designed to cut the exact material specified.
Blade life: Our steel experts can identify the right grade, structure, hardness and condition to make your bespoke blade keep cutting for longer. We can develop blades with a range of coatings if required.
Lead time: As we manufacture every product in our Sheffield factory, we have control over the entire production process. If you need your new knife developed quickly, Fernite can help.
We pride ourselves on taking on the challenges that other machine knife companies won’t attempt.
