Cause of short service life of the iso blade on a coater

The life of an ISO Blade in a coater can be affected by several factors. Some of the possible causes for an ISO Blade to wear out quickly include:

Blade material quality: If the blade is made of poor quality material or is not properly tempered, it can wear out quickly. Be sure to use high quality blades made of materials suitable for your application.
Blade pressure: If the blade pressure on the can surface is too high, it can cause excessive wear on the blade. Adjust the blade pressure so that it is adequate and uniform over the entire contact surface.
Varnish quality: The quality and adhesion of the varnish can also affect the service life of the blade. If the varnish is of poor quality or has insufficient adhesion, it can cause excessive wear on the blade. Be sure to use a good quality varnish with adequate adhesion.
Maintenance and cleaning: It is important to carry out proper maintenance and cleaning of the blade and coater. Clean the sawing tool with an industrial vacuum cleaner daily and disassemble the sawing tool and clean it (without using solvents) monthly.
Lubrication: Ensure that the blade is properly lubricated to reduce friction and wear. Use the recommended lubricants according to the coater’s instruction manual.

If you continue to experience problems with ISO Blade blade life, it may be necessary to investigate further and consult with the coater manufacturer or an expert in the field for additional advice.
