Sollex blade 950V differs from a regular trapezoid blade in that it has 2 cutting sides instead of 1 long lower sharpened side.

Thanks to the blade's sturdy locking capabilities, you don't have to press it against the blade as with most other types of blades. Thus, a clear space advantage is achieved compared to conventional blades.

It does not require very high speed, but thanks to the single-sided double bevel grinding conical sharpening, you get a very fine cut, suitable for cutting off surplus material when joining rolls of material in packaging machines.

This 950V knife is also made of the highest quality tungsten carbide, ensuring a long life with high sharpness and wear resistance.
