Insulation Material Manufacturer

Large-Diameter Carbide Knife (Eco Knife) / Slitting Process
[Reducing Cutting Dust by Over 99% with Eco-Knives! Achieving Both Cost Reduction and Environmental Contribution]

Client Challenges

・Seeking a solution to the severe airborne dust issue generated during cutting with conventional tip saws.
・Aiming to maximize material yield.

Our Approach

・Redesigned the product from the ground up to enable manufacturing in a knife configuration instead of a conventional blade.
・Carbide tips are brazed onto the outer periphery of the round knife; initially, issues such as tip detachment occurred frequently. However, through the development of a specialized brazing technique and the establishment of precise measurement methods for the brazed areas, stable product quality was achieved.
・As a result, both dust reduction and improved material yield were successfully realized.
