Tungsten Carbide Pentagonal Blade: 5 Cutting Edges
Sollex P877 Tungsten Carbide Pentagonal Blade
Industrial manufacturers working with woven polypropylene, polyethylene films, fibers, paper packaging and AD STAR sack production require stable cutting quality to ensure predictable results. Sollex P877 tungsten carbide pentagonal blade is engineered specifically to meet these needs, ensuring clean penetrations, long lifetime and consistent productivity.
From cement bag manufacturing to polypropylene tape fabrics and woven PP sacks, converters use the knife to maintain consistent edge quality. This five edged cutting knife performs both entry penetration and separation phases cleanly.
What Makes P877 Different: Why Manufacturers Choose It
The P877 pentagon knife is not a conventional circular cutting knife. It is a solid tungsten carbide 5 edged cutting knife with 5 sharp penetration points. As the blade rotates, each point enters the substrate gradually, delivering smooth separation. This allows manufacturers to process thicker materials with reliable stability and minimal cutting force. Sollex P877 is especially effective in woven and coated PP substrates.
Functional advantages of P877:
- smoother penetration into multilayer substrates
- fewer cutting defects and fewer rejected sacks
- controlled entry performance in coated PP, HDPE fabric, cardboard, films
P877 pentagonal knife is made from solid tungsten carbide of high quality, delivering outstanding wear resistance and extended lifetime. This five-edged machine knife for packaging results in fewer blade changes, less downtime and predictable output.
Applications of Pentagonal / 5-Edged Knife P877
The Sollex P877 was developed together with industrial manufacturers and is suitable as a replacement for the Lutz 2650.0530 blade or similar. It integrates seamlessly into Starlinger ad* starKON lines, Windmöller and Hölscher ProTex Convertex systems and AD Convertex production lines. As a machine knife with 5 cutting sides for Starlinger, Windmöller and Hölscher machines, it ensures precise cutting in the manufacture of AD STAR block bottom valve sacks.
Sollex P877 machine knife with 5 cutting edges handles woven polypropylene tubes, coated polypropylene tape fabric, tubular PP and HDPE fabric, polypropylene and polyethylene film, nonwovens, fibers and paper packaging. This makes it a practical pentagonal knife for converters working across different substrates.
The P877 is used for:
- AD STAR sack cutting
- cement bag packaging
- woven PP conversion
- nonwoven production
- paper and film converting
Typical material groups:
- woven polypropylene
- tubular PP or HDPE fabric
- coated PP tape fabric
- polypropylene and polyethylene film
- nonwovens and fibers
- paper, cardboard packaging
Dimensions of Sollex Pentagonal Knife P877
Dimensional precision is critical for stable mounting and controlled rotation in converting lines. The exact dimensions of the P877 are:
- length 41 mm
- outer diameter 63.23 mm
- thickness 0.50 mm
- geometry angle 108 degree
- 2 mounting holes with diameter 4 mm positioned 12.45 mm from the center
- 1 large central hole with diameter 10.35 mm
These tolerances ensure reliable positioning, reduced vibration and consistent cutting performance.
Packaging and Supply
Sollex supplies the P877 individually packed in protective plastic bags, with 10 knives per outer package for safe handling and storage at the production facility.
