Blades Across the Paper and Printing Process #
Yuan-Lih states that its blades play a role throughout papermaking, from raw material processing to the final product. Applications cover pulp preparation, paper forming, drying, cutting and packaging.
Where the Blades Are Used #
- Pulp preparation — Blades cut and shred fibers so the pulp can be mixed and processed evenly. High-quality blades help distribute fibers uniformly and support paper strength.
- Paper forming — Blades cut and shape wet paper sheets. Precision and wear resistance are important for keeping paper shape and dimensions consistent.
- Printing — Blades cut printed materials or process printed products. Printing blades need high wear resistance and cutting precision so edges stay clear and neat.
- Post-printing — Blades cut, slit and crease printed products. Designs can be customized for different printed materials and processing requirements.
Blade Characteristics #
Yuan-Lih summarizes the requirements for this industry as high precision, strong wear resistance, high cutting efficiency and versatility. The company states that choosing the right blade improves printed product quality and production efficiency while reducing production cost.
