A CUT ABOVE IN CORRUGATED

Continuous, high-speed corrugated production creates thermal loads and dust, putting extra pressure on machinery. Fisher Barton’s Zenith Cutter division engineers and manufactures blades, knives, and other components specifically for corrugated production and converting. We replace the blades for most major original equipment manufacturers and can produce a customized solution for your needs.

Our Engineered Solutions for Corrugated Production and Conversion

Zenith Cutter delivers end-to-end corrugated solutions:

Corrugated Board Production

Wholesale corrugated box production requires precision cuts, fast setup, and long run times. Our corrugated board production cutting solutions include:

  • Slitters: Our inventory includes powdered-metal, tungsten carbide, and steel razor slitters, manufactured through a unique sintering process to produce stronger, high-performing blades that cut faster in corrugated board production.
  • Collars: Used with slitters, presses, corrugators, and partition machines, our collars include widths of 1-½ inches, 1-¾ inches, and standard 2 inches.
  • Scoring rings: Full-hardened steel rings can handle even misalignment and dropping.
  • Brass fingers: Custom, laser-cut brass fingers deliver precision cutting for corrugated packaging production.
  • Cut-off knives: Replacement rotary shear and cut-off knives offer serrated or plain edges and premium construction for durable, reliable performance.
