Paper cutting knives

New times bring new and faster technical developments and in the printing industry this is specially so. Th

e requirement is to increase production and to improve quality control and efficiency. In attaining these goals tungsten carbide has an important role to play. Worked up as machine parts and assembled in cutting knives Star has fulfilled the function for which it was specifically assigned. Tungsten carbide with its high wear resistance and great edge strength is the ideal material for the manufacturing of paper cutting knives. Since its introduction in 1965 Star  is able, despite the considerable difference in expansion between steel and tungsten carbide, to produce paper cutting knives to almost any length. Quality control, efficiency and product innovation for the printing industry are of vital importance. Star tungsten carbide cutting knives therefore strengthen the position of those firms who use them, because:

of a ten to twenty-five times longer life of drastic reduction of machine down-time and production                        loss caused     by the lack of need for frequent knife changes.

of superior cutting quality thanks to the unique wear resistance properties of tungsten carbide which give razor sharp cutting edges with extremely fine finish allowing smooth and neat cutting with minimal dust formation.
 

Star  develop and manufacture, in their own plant, tungsten carbide knives for the paper, printing and film industry.
Through our offices at Amritsar knives are exported world wide and so, in this area too, our company has a highly respected international reputation
