Long Life Printing Blades – Kocher + Beck

Advanced Technology in Printing and Cutting

The Long Life (3L) printing blades are specifically designed for the printing, packaging, label cutting, and high-volume production industries.

Kocher + Beck is a pioneer in the production of industrial blades and precision cutting tools, delivering high-quality solutions for various applications.

Materials and Manufacturing Technology

• Long Life Kocher + Beck blades are made from special alloy steels (such as high-carbon tool steels or hardened stainless steels) that offer excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and deformation.
• Certain models are coated with hard chrome or Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings to reduce friction and extend blade life up to 3 times.

Surface Hardness

• 60 to 70 HCR, depending on the application.

Manufacturing Precision

• Blade edges are CNC- and laser-finished to achieve sharp, uniform edges.

Design Features

Sharp and Stable Edges

• Optimized cutting angles reduce cutting force and prevent overheating.
• Designed for various materials: paper, plastic, foil, and composites.

Modular Structure

• Allows quick installation and easy replacement of blades in printing and cutting machines.
• Compatible with both rotary and flatbed machines.

Corrosion Resistance

• Stainless steel construction or protective coatings for humid environments or chemical exposure.

Main Applications

• Rotary Printing: Precise cutting of paper, cardboard, and polymer films in high-speed printing machines.
• Packaging Industry: Cutting of labels, folding boxes, and films.
