Color multicolored, no special colour mix guaranteed Universall board, especially for thicker materials. For very thin material and difficult to cut materials you have to choose harder boards
Hardness 75

Application This cutting plate being flexible enough to thinner materials (<8 mm), also provides ease of use in the work surfaces for manual cutting. These cutting insert types, are usually used in roller presses with a thickness between 12 mm and 15 mm.

Price Quality

All cutting wedges can have the same quality? "
This question in a very easy way "no" answer as we can. Different features available in the market with many different plastic materials have come across various price is natural.
These materials are the specific differences between the highlights is the raw material used in production. High-quality raw materials, it is generally more expensive than low-quality raw material.
Second, before the difference is the speed of production. No matter how fast the production rate will have so much tension in the house manufactured products. This tension will significantly reduce the life of the final product produced.
The third and last difference is the selection of additives to be used in production. These additives have the effect on the properties of the material may be. Using appropriate additives to obtain the best solution for a specific application is essential. A good cut should meet the opposite requirements of takis.
 
 

max. surface hardness
max. elasticity

Maximum surface hardness
In 99% of the applications you could follow this advice : "The harder the cutting board, The better the cutting result."

Maximum elasticity

This second requirement is very important and will help protect expensive cutting dies when a cut is made to deep. Elasticity is also needed for "self healing" during cutting. (Self healing means a previous cut will be closed when a new cut is made next to it. This will extend the life of the cutting board).

Compromise

Only very high quality cutting boards have a compromise of these opposite requirements at the highest level possible. In the cutting board market you will find cutting boards from different suppliers with the same colors and same shore D hardness. These boards appear to be the same but can be different due to the compromise. The following illustration will help define the differences.

A steel cutting surface is very hard and has a low level of elasticity. You would get the best cutting results in the beginning but the cutting edge will become blunt over a short period of time. If a cut is made to deep the cutting die can be destroyed.

A rubber cutting surface is very elastic and has a low hardness. It would protect your cutting die But the cutting result would not be acceptable. The material will be forced into the surface as you make the cut.

A low quality cutting surface made of plastic with a shore D hardness of 85 and minimal elasticity is a better compromise than the steel or rubber sheet alone but does not provide the best compromise. Does not self heal and will crumble easily.

A very high quality cutting surface made of plastic with a shore D hardness of 85 and the maximum elasticity is the best compromise and will give you longer cutting life. This surface will self heal, resist crumbling, and offers the best protection for your cutting die investment.

Very high quality cutting boards will provide you with the best value. They will last longer and minimize your downtime.



Over our many years of sales and consulting work we have often came across the same problems that can occur during the use of the cutting boards. We have listed several of them to help you recognize and eliminate them. Please see ourhandling tips for helpful information. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
 
The cutting board is bent and a normal cutting is not possible.
 
The die cut edges are not cut clean.
 
The die cut material is stuck in the cutting board after the cut.
 
The cutting die is stuck in the board after the cut.
 
There are slivers of cutting board material on the top of the boards.
 
The production speed is slowed down in comparison to the last used cutting board.
 
This cutting board did not last as long as the cutting board it replaced.
 
Cutting boards in production or in stock as a spare part are often not used or stored as required to get the maximum life available. We have provided information in our handling tips that will show you how to dramatically increase the life of your cutting boards as well as help you recognize the difference between a normal cutting board and a very high quality cutting board.
 
Please remove packing after receiving your cutting board. Stock the cutting board flat on a pallet if it not going directly into production. Protect the cutting board from excessive heat, caused by sun or by heaters. Cutting boards are made of thermoplastic plastic and they will bend before usage, and if they get over heated are not laying flat.
 
Please adjust the cutting machine very accurately. You have to take care that the cutting board is flat on the cutting press table and the cutting die is moving retangular to the cutting boards.Therefore you have to controll the cutting knife and the movement of the cutting press head.
 
Die cutting always occurs on the surface of the cutting board. There is no advantage for cutting deeper than neccessary to make the cut. Cutting to deep can cause material to be pressed into the cutting board, can cause the cutting die to stick into the cutting board and will definitely cause accelerated wear. If the cut is not clean at the surface and your cutting press and dies are parallel you should use a harder durometer cutting board from our product range.
 
Please try to utilize the complete board surface. Partial cuttings will lead to voids in the cutting boards and prevent clean cutting in the area of the void.
