Product Description
Standard Blades for AZTC20 and ZETZ24 Thermocutters Hot Knives
Choose the Hot Knife blade to suit the purpose. These Hot Knife blades are designed so that heat is concentrated along the cutting edge in order to achieve the optimum cutting temperature. Prior to insertion in the material to be cut, the temperature of the blades will be between 100°C and 800°C, depending on the type of blade and the thermocutter used. The temperature to the blade cools down as it enters the material. The temperature depends on the thermal properties and heat conductivity of the material being cut and determines the cutting speed. The cutting edge is evenly heated because of the design of the blade's cutting flanges.
Blades with "SS" as part of their Model Number represent Stainless Steel Blades.
Blades with model numbers in green are only for use with the Zetz-24 and 25 Hot Knife Thermocutters.
