WIDE KNIFE EDGE BLADES
Produced from high carbon steel and joined with precise, reliable welds, Simmons’ Wide Knife Edge blade is designed to fit a wide variety of machinery. This allows it to withstand variable feed rates while still maintaining a sharp edge throughout slicing, splitting, or peeling operations.
Tru-Trak® & Ultra Tru-Trak® Finish
Simmons offers Wide Knife Edge blades in both Tru-Trak® and Ultra Tru-Trak® finishes. While Tru-Trak blades are finished on the front and back edges to aid in the tracking of the blade, our premium Ultra Tru-Trak blades are finished on all surfaces to ensure better tracking and minimal blade movement during machine operation.
All Tru-Trak and Ultra Tru-Trak bandknife blades are marked with a serial number for production control and traceability purposes.
