Customer Success Stories

A high-performance Syntegon-compatible zigzag machine knife engineered for longer life, cleaner cuts, and lower production cost for stick pack and sachet packaging.

Sollex 5Z reduced blade changes by 47% in a comparative production test while maintaining clean, stable slitting of agricultural blown film with recycled plastic content. Over the 14-day test period, the Sollex blade required 333 blade changes compared with 628 for the competitor blade, at the same blade cost.

In high-speed cast stretch film production, blade performance directly affects output, uptime and roll quality. This case shows how Sollex 4-60-030-Z helped a European producer running a W&H FILMEX II Stretch increase production speed from around 300 m/min to 400–600 m/min, extend blade life by up to 1400% and achieve seven days of stable production.

When DynaMate AB developed a robotic box opening station for a major pharmaceutical manufacturer, blade life became critical for uptime and maintenance planning. With a Sollex solid tungsten carbide pointed blade, the process achieved 22,800 meters of cutting per blade — almost 9 times longer than the original target.
