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.

The MARTOR SECUNORM 540 is designed for demanding industrial cutting tasks where reach, control and safety matter. With a 36 mm cutting depth, ergonomic handle and manual blade retraction, it helps users cut thicker packaging materials efficiently while reducing the risk of blade-related accidents.

Sollex supplies razor blades and slitting solutions for Lung Meng blown film machines, helping manufacturers cut HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PP, PE and PA films with cleaner edges, stable performance and reliable finished product quality.

For manufacturers cutting machine clothing, industrial textiles, process belts and engineered fabrics, blade performance has a direct impact on uptime, precision and production efficiency. The Sollex alternative to the Martor 752 is designed as a durable, direct-fit replacement for demanding industrial cutting applications where clean cuts, long blade life and reliable performance are essential.

Cutting tasks are part of daily work in packaging, warehousing, logistics, and industrial environments. Choosing the right safety knife can help reduce injury risks, improve control, and support a safer workflow. Sollex supplies MARTOR safety knives for professional users, including Secunorm 300, Secunorm 500, and Secupro 625, designed for everyday cutting tasks involving boxes, film, tape, wrapping materials, and packaging.

Martor blade 612 has been discontinued — Sollex has the replacement in stock

When the Martor 752 was discontinued, textile manufacturers needed a reliable drop-in replacement. Sollex 752.42 and 752V offer a precise fit, strong cutting performance, and long blade life for demanding industrial textile applications.

Sollex Z17 is a solid tungsten carbide oscillating knife blade for Zünd digital cutting machines, designed for long blade life, stable cutting quality and reduced downtime. Built for demanding materials and continuous production, it offers a durable alternative to the original Zünd Z17 for companies that need precision and reliability over longer cutting runs.

Sollex has once again been recognized for strong financial stability, long-term reliability and responsible business practices. With the highest AAA credit rating from Bisnode and the Star Business Awards 2024 and 2025, Sollex continues to stand as a secure and trusted partner for industrial knives and blades.

Daily cutting tasks in packaging, logistics and warehouse environments require tools that combine control, safety and efficiency. A safety knife with short cutting depth helps reduce the risk of cutting too deep into packaged goods while still giving users enough blade exposure to open cartons, film and outer packaging effectively.

Reliable cutting performance is critical in food production and packaging, where clean cuts, long blade life, and minimal downtime directly affect efficiency. The Martor 619 Graphic Blade supports demanding industrial applications such as cutting plastic straws, tubes, and packaging materials in high-volume production environments.

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.

How a global healthcare packaging manufacturer improved pouching-machine uptime by replacing guillotine cutting with a flying knife solution

Blade coatings can improve wear resistance, reduce friction and extend blade life, but the right coating depends on the material, line speed and cutting problem. This article explains Lutz Marathon coating and how it compares with Sollex K and Z coatings for demanding film, foil and technical material slitting applications.

Titanium Carbide coated blades offer high hardness and low friction, but for industrial cutting applications, the right coating depends on the material, machine and production goal.
