[Free Offer] Prevent Blade Troubles in Production Equipment! Non-Stick Thin Film Coating
【Trial Set Offered】Adhesive troubles with blades occurring in production equipment, such as cutting adhesive films and tapes. Solved with non-adhesive and release coatings for blades.
Are there any issues with adhesive sticking to the "cutting blades" of production equipment, impairing cutting performance or contaminating products? If cutting tools are used on sticky items or items with adhesive, without implementing "anti-adhesion measures," it can negatively impact profitability. 【Specific Negative Impacts】 ■ Obstruction of Automation Automation of processes requires that human intervention is not needed and that continuity is maintained. If adhesive materials are adhering to the blades, it becomes difficult to automate that line. ■ Increased Cleaning Frequency If frequent cleaning of the blades is necessary, production may not be completed within the expected time, leading to decreased production efficiency. Additionally, increased working hours due to cleaning can raise costs and raise concerns about worker safety. ■ Adhesion to Products and Product Contamination If adhesive or materials stuck to the blades adhere to the next product being cut, it can result in defective products or necessitate repairs in subsequent processes. Furthermore, if the cutting blades lose their sharpness, it can lead to irregular cut shapes and become problematic. Yoshida SKT offers coatings that can resolve such issues. ▽ For a collection of case studies on cutting process improvements and to request a trial set, click here ▽

Applications/Examples of results
【Case Study】 Continuous Cutting Process of Multilayer Film ■Problem There is a layer of adhesive on the first layer of the film, causing adhesive to adhere to the rotary blade. This adhesion leads to cutting defects and line stoppages. ■Challenge To create a blade that can cut continuously without adhesive adhering to the rotary blade, a coating that prevents adhesion with excellent release properties and durability was required. Initially, a Bi-Coat® with superior durability and release properties was selected. The film thickness was about 10μm, and there was no visible change in the blade's appearance, but when actually tested, the cutting performance deteriorated to an unusable state. Next, a silicone-based coating that would have minimal impact on the blade edge shape was proposed, but due to the high adhesive strength of the multilayer film's adhesive layer, while cutting was possible, adhesion problems occurred. ■Adoption Process and Effects The rotary blade presses the edge against the film and cuts with pressure, resulting in minimal friction with the product. Therefore, MRS-004, which has excellent release properties and tackiness despite being a thin film, was proposed. As a result of testing, it was possible to maintain cutting performance without any change in the edge shape while continuously resolving the issues.
