Cutting blades
High-quality cutting blades for industrial processes
At Aufer Iberia, we supply slitting knives for rewinding and converting flexible materials. Our industrial knives are designed to deliver a clean, precise, and long-lasting cut, adapting to different machines and applications in the printing and packaging industries.
The choice of an industrial cutting blade depends on three fundamental factors: design, material, and coating. Thanks to our wide range of options, we help each customer choose the right blade to ensure maximum performance in their process.
European-quality industrial blades for superior results
Manufactured with European materials and under strict quality standards, our cutting blades offer:
Optimized thicknesses
Thinner blades require less force, reduce belt breakage, and provide a cleaner cut.
Adaptable designs
With rounded or square corners, slotted or triple holes, to adapt to different machines and cutting needs.
High-performance materials
Carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel (HSS-M2, D2), tungsten carbide, or solid ceramic.
Specialized coatings
They extend service life, reduce friction, and improve cutting quality even in demanding applications.
Technical characteristics of the cutting blades
Thickness yield
Thinner blades require less force and offer a more precise cut. They also help prevent belt breakage and improve process efficiency.
Material performance
We offer industrial cutting blades in a wide variety of materials optimized for specific applications:
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Tool steel
- Steel HSS-M2
- Steel D2
- Tungsten carbide
- Solid ceramic
Coating performance
The coating on industrial blades extends their service life and improves cutting results. It also reduces friction, heat, and wear, optimizing productivity.
Types of coatings available
Gold coating that reduces friction, generates less dust, and ensures competitive performance. FDA approved.
Application: Plastic film and sheets with few additives.
K – Black ceramic
Very fine grain that protects the edge when cutting white films with a high chalk content. FDA approved.
Application: white films with additives.
Z – Zero friction
Low-friction gray coating, ideal for high-speed cutting. FDA and CE approved.
Application: thin stretch film.
X – Complete ceramics
Full coating, including the sides of the blade. Offers maximum durability when cutting highly abrasive materials. FDA and CE approved.
Application: Multilayer plastic films or films with aggressive additives.
C – Solid ceramic
Self-sharpening during use, high heat resistance, although more fragile when handled.
Application: soft flexible film (EBA).
V – Solid tungsten carbide
Maximum strength and durability, even when cutting very hard materials.
Application: rigid laminated films (PE) and plastic packaging.

Frequently asked questions about industrial cutting blades
What material is best suited for my cutting blade?
It depends on the material to be cut and the speed of the machine. Stainless steel is ideal for standard cuts, while tungsten carbide or ceramic are recommended for demanding applications and abrasive materials.
What advantages do coatings offer?
They reduce friction, extend service life, and improve cutting quality, especially in plastic films with additives or in high-speed processes.
Can I request custom blades?
Yes, we offer custom-made blades in different thicknesses, diameters, and coatings to suit each machine.
Do you offer custom scrapers?
Yes. We can supply custom-made scrapers to suit the exact specifications of your machine and process.
Are they compatible with any cutter or rewinder?
We offer standard and special models that cover virtually all brands and configurations of machinery on the market.
