Knife holders from slittec – precise, robust, and reliable.
Our holder solutions are precisely matched to the material, application, and cutting method — ensuring clean cuts, long service life, and maximum process reliability. In the slittec Test Center, we test every holder under real operating conditions.
Whether shear-cut, crush-cut, burst-cut, razor-blade cut, hot cut, or embossing and knurling knife holders — slittec offers knife holders for nearly every material and cutting method.
Shear-cut knife holders
Precision cutting with linear guidance
slittec’s shear-cut knife holders ensure consistently precise cutting geometry throughout their entire service life.
Thanks to linear guides or torsion-resistant swivel mechanisms, the cutting angle remains perfectly controlled — delivering clean cuts, minimal maintenance, and maximum process reliability in every cutting process.
Crush-cut knife holders
Sensitive swing-arm guidance for stable cutting processes.
slittec’s pneumatic crush-cut knife holders stand out with their compact and extremely robust design.
A precisely guided rotary joint ensures that the solid swing arm maintains exact knife geometry — delivering consistent cutting results at all times.
The quick-clamp connection allows fast and secure mounting on all common dovetail profiles, while the fine adjustment of the cutting head enables easy and precise setup.
Thanks to many years of application experience, slittec has developed a wide range of refined variants, each optimally tailored to customer-specific requirements and materials — ensuring reliable, repeatable cutting results in every process.
Burst-cut knife holders
Robust heavy-duty design for maximum cutting forces
slittec’s burst-cut knife holder is based on the proven crush-cut principle and has been specifically developed for applications requiring high cutting forces.
Its compact heavy-duty design with a stable swing-arm guide ensures precise knife movement and consistently accurate cutting geometry. An adjustable stroke limiter allows optimal adaptation to different cutting processes.
The integrated fine adjustment enables quick and secure centering of the knife to the support groove.
Thanks to its solid holder body, this knife holder is ideal for cutting tough and resistant materials such as hardboard, leather, synthetic leathers, thick films, or technical plastics — delivering clean cuts even under heavy load.
Razor-blade knife holders
Compact and precise — for fine cutting of film and foil
slittec’s razor-blade knife holders are specifically designed for precision cutting tasks in the film, foil, and textile industries.
Their compact design and well-thought-out construction allow the use of standard razor blades with different mounting and support functions — operated manually, pneumatically, or mechanically depending on process requirements.
Thanks to their modular construction, the knife holders can be integrated flexibly into a wide range of systems, ensuring fine, clean cuts with minimal space requirements.
slittec also implements complex applications such as multi-razor cutting with automatic blade tracking in continuous production processes — delivering consistently high cut quality with maximum efficiency.
Hot-cut knife holders
Precise cutting and sealing at high temperatures
slittec’s hot-cut knife holders are designed for cutting and sealing temperature-sensitive materials.
As heated pneumatic crush-cut knife holders, they enable clean cut edges and uniform sealing — ideal for applications in film, packaging, and composite material processing.
In the RACCOON model, the heated carbide shoe can be activated pneumatically either independently or in tandem with the crush-cut knife.
The compact design ensures precise guidance of both the knife head and the heated shoe, even at minimal cut widths, allowing accurate results at temperatures between 35 and 750 °C — reliable, safe, and repeatable.
Embossing and knurling knife holders
Precise structures for consistent embossing and knurling results
slittec’s embossing and knurling knife holders are designed for demanding applications in the tissue and paper industries.
Their compact, torsion-resistant construction with a precisely guided swing joint ensures maximum dimensional accuracy and uniform pressure distribution across the entire embossing surface.
The pneumatically driven lever arm transfers the embossing force in a controlled manner to the tool, ensuring a precisely guided contact line with the counter roller.
A universal dovetail clamp enables secure lateral adjustment and positioning of the holder, while an integrated pressure regulator allows the embossing wheel’s contact pressure to be individually adjusted.
The result: reproducible, well-defined surface structures — for precise, clean embossing and knurling on various materials and plies.
