Fernite guidance for optimum blade performance​

Our gypsum board blades achieve optimum performance when mounted with the plain side facing the in-feed end of the conveyor. The tips are then in the same vertical plane at mid-point of cut, ensuring a clean cut.

With uniform, precise tooth pitch and straightness, Fernite blades can be easily mounted without the need for careful pairing and checking. For optimum cutting performance we recommend:

  • The linear speed of the knife should be marginally faster than the speed of the conveyor line – ensuring the points exit from the cut cleanly, and ahead of the following board.
  • When in cutting mode (as opposed to perforating) the knives are mounted with a maximum of 1mm clearance point to root at mid-point of cut.
  • For optimum performance the root of the tooth should not pass through the paper – a 1mm clearance is recommended. This avoids the build-up of material in the roots of the teeth.
