A through-hardened sleeve increases the life of your slitter blades and protects them from damage. That's why we through-hardened all stock and custom sleeves here at Carolina Knife Company. It's just one more way we look after the interests of our customers and help them protect their bottom lines.

Replacing slitter blades is a costly proposition. Naturally, this is something you want to do as infrequently as possible. This is why you should always choose sleeves that have been through-hardened to maximize their lifespan. You'll also want blades made from high-grade materials that are built to last.

Through-Hardened Sleeves Are Only Part of the Package

You can save even more money by purchasing blades that don't require frequent sharpening. It's inconvenient to have to send your blades away for days at a time whenever they get a little dull. This can also result in unwanted downtime in your production schedule if you don't have back-up blades to use in the interim. Also, having blades sharpened is an added business expense that can cut into your profits. By purchasing blades made out of the most durable materials, and by only using them on a through-hardened sleeve, you can greatly reduce the frequency of your sharpening schedule.

Through-hardening is one several features you should look for in the sleeves you buy. If you have any questions about the types of blades or sleeves that are right for your company, we can help. Just give us a call or fill out our online form for more information.
