I used to change my Zenith Slitter blades every 21-28 days. Now I changes them every 43 days!
Noticeable difference in wear. Less time changing knives. 2 to 3 times longer life. Less grinding to resharpen.
Trenching teeth for digging trenches for highway underdrain systems lasted 1½ times longer.
D-2 dies were normally line-side polished 17 times in four months... after Cryo treatment, once in three months.
Greatly enhanced performance of calendar knives and Cameron cutter knives from every 1½ months to once a year.
It saves labor and time and doesn't change the properties as far as being able to resharpen the tools.
Treated end mills maintain better cutting edge capabilities giving a 5 to 1 ratio over non treated tooling.
We used 3-4 cobalt roughing end mills for a 60 piece run. After cryo we used 1 tool to run all 60 parts.
Treated slitter knives cutting corrugated paper went from lasting 2 weeks to 4-5 weeks after cryogenic treatment.
Average life for untreated Stanley #11-911 blades was 4-5 days. Treated blades are lasting 8-14 days.
Our cryogenically treated chipper knives are exceptionally tough and durable. Made of special steel alloy, these chipper knives are heat treated to stand up under the heaviest feed possible. They produce uniform chips and reduce fines to an absolute minimum. Their “cryo treated” durability increases production, saves grinding time and decreases your yearly use of chipper knives.
