Apex Shears offers a wide range of custom-made solid TC Razor Circular Knives for Carton, Paper and Cardboard Industry. Compared to HSS and D2, Tungsten Carbide has many advantages which are suitable for many slitting applications. The most important advantage is very long running life. In many situations, it can be as much as 10 to 20 times as seen in the paper, cardboard or corrugated container industry. The mirror finish provides protection from glue adhering to the knife which in turn protects against knife breakage caused by uneven pressure. The sharper cutting edge produces less dust, making for a cleaner working environment. Although the Tungsten Carbide knife is brittle, the high cobalt content increases overall strength. In addition, the new process HIP, (High Isothermal Pressure) improves knife stability dramatically.

Apex Shears has an extraordinarily broad and comprehensive range of products for Paper, Paperboard Industry. Apex's factories can supply virtually all types of cutters, knives and knife-related components.

Our circular Hot Saw blades have redefined hot sawing industries. Through many years of research and development in these applications, we have developed a product that surpasses all others in terms of wear life and performance. Combining superior machinery, craftsmanship and raw material with this product research we offer our high-performance Hot Sawing Blades. We offer tooth configurations and flat surface profiles to suit each application. Flat surfaces may be straight ground or hollow ground and consideration of profile is important for optimum performance.

These saw blades are balanced, dressed and tensioned for regular running with milled teeth and special temper of the tooth as per the tooth profiles. 

We also produce saw tooth and surface profiles to saw builder design, user modified design, and in many situations can offer design advice for improved performance. We are continually refining our production methods and raw materials to increase performance and durability for the future requirements of our customers.

We understand that several of our customers do not have their own saw tooth rehardening machines and hence we offer special alloys that do no require teeth re-hardening at the time of re-sharpening for superior cutting performance. 

Typical material of construction for these blades includes AS-80, AS-45 and AS-65 Steels for optimum price-performance ratios for our customers.

Apex Shears has developed an improved tread skiver blade over the years in consultation with our customers and various OEM’s at several worldwide manufacturing plants. The result has been a considerable increase in blade performance and improved finished products.

Apex Shears manufactures Circular Tissue Cutting Log Saw Blades for various  machine types for e.g. PERINI, PCMC etc.

Our Segmental blades have been designed to meet the requirements of present day high speed cold saws. The segments are made from specially heat-treated high-speed steel and form a closed ring around the saw plate. The saw plates are hardened and tempered  to maintain accuracy throughout the working life of the saw.

These blades are designed to meet the demands of much lower cutting time, tighter tolerances, better finishes, longer blade life, lower down time and reduction in secondary operations resulting in higher productivity for our customers. The Segments are made of High-Speed Steels and are fitted to the Saw body in an overlapping position. These Segments are tempered by using advanced heat treatment methods.
