Pointed Tip Blades 

What are Pointed-Tip Industrial Knives?

Due to their sharp point design, machine knives with a pointed tip are perfect for piercing and cutting harder materials like paper, rubber, cardboard, and plastics. Industrial blades are used to improve the shape, perforation, and cut intricate shapes, as well as enhance the properties and design of final products. They are designed to have a sharpened cutting tip that requires less penetration force when entering a material vertically. 

Industrial pointed knives are made of carbon steel, solid tungsten carbide or tooling steel. The material choice makes them durable for repeated industrial use and resistant to wear and tear while maintaining sharpness. Blade edges can be coated to improve and prolong the cutting performance.

Industrial pointed-tip knives are very sharp allowing them to work vertically well on paper, non woven, polymers, composites and rubber and other materials.

Multi-Purpose Pointed Tip Blades

Sollex pointed blades have many different uses. In general, pointed blades are used for two things: cutting and making holes in various materials such as tubing, cardboard and styrofoam.

The high quality steel in the pointed blades makes them especially suitable for challenging work. If you need to cut materials such as hose or cardboard, we have  different models to choose from. Some blades are coated with a ceramic coating, which considerably extends the durability and performance of the blade. The coating on the blade’s edge acts as a protection, prolongs durability, and changes the surface smoothness. We also manufacture pointed tip blades in solid tungsten carbide for extreme durability. 

Application of Pointed Tip Machine Knives

Pointed tip knives, characterized by their sharp, tapered ends, are essential tools in various industrial applications. The versatility of pointed tip industrial knives makes them valuable tools in various sectors. 

Pointed Tip Knives for Plastic Film Industry

In the plastic film industry, pointed blades are often used to perforate or cut various types of plastic films without tearing. This type of cut precision is critical to maintaining film integrity, especially when the film is used for packaging or as a component of large products.

They create technically advanced PE films and use Sollex pointed blades for making perforations in their final products. They use a special version of the 760.50 pointed blade.

Pointed Blades for Rubber Industry

The rubber industry benefits greatly from the sharpness and precision of pointed tip blades. When cutting and piercing tubes, shaping parts or creating complex structures, these blades provide the precision required to produce high-quality rubber products. Sharp-tipped blades are especially used for making perforations, holes or shaping rubber products.

The sharp, pointed tip is ideal for starting to cut tough or durable materials commonly used in packaging, such as thick cardboard, heavy-duty plastics or laminates. 

The pointed machine knives can be custom designed to meet specific packaging requirements, whether it be a unique shape, size or material composition, providing flexibility in packaging design and production.

Pointed Knives for Cutting Polystyrene and Styrofoam

Styrofoam is a complex material and it is advantageous to use a pointed knife blade to make a hole pattern or cut.
