Tooth blades
by LUTZ BLADES
Ideal for cutting and perforating
Your product is to be cut in a zigzag; e.g. Riffle Chips®? Do you squeegee longitudinal patterns in doughs; e.g. noodles? Or you need to perforate your product; e.g. tear-off films? Then the tooth blades and tooth knives from LUTZ BLADES are just the right product for you.
How you benefit
of LUTZ BLADES tooth blades and tooth knives:- Large selection of tooth pitches and angles
- High quality materials
- Individual advice
- Adjustment of the blade to your cutting application
How to draw
LUTZ BLADES tooth blades and tooth knives from:- Suitability for food
- Wide range of hard coatings to increase service life
- Pointed teeth to cut smooth or stretchy material
- Flat teeth for cutting soft materials
- Round teeth for long service life

The wide range of materials
for our bladesOur product portfolio offers you blades in thicknesses between 0.06 - 3.0 mm and with final hardnesses between 40 - 85 HRc. You also have a wide choice in our material program:
- Carbon steels
- Rust resistant and stainless steels
- High-performance high-speed steels (HSS)
- Tool steels
- Hard metals
- Ceramics
The versatile coating program
for our blades
TiN
Standard hard material with high wear resistance and relatively high coefficient of friction (against reference material steel approx. 0.4 to 0.7), usually gold-colored, safe application range up to approx. 300 °C.
TiC
Has lower wear resistance than TiN with significantly lower coefficient of friction (against reference material steel approx. 0.3 to 0.5), usually anthracite colored.
TiCN
Intermediate coating material between the high wear resistance of TiN and the low coefficient of friction of TiC, relative position between TiN and TiC depending on the ratio of C and N, usually anthracite color.
TiAlN
Has greater oxidation resistance than TiN with comparable coefficient of friction, usually anthracite blue.
ZrN
With a wear resistance similar to TiN, but denser structure (morphology) than TiN and thus greater resistance to pitting under appropriate load, usually steel colored.
DLC
Has high wear resistance with low coefficient of friction (approx. 0.1 against reference material steel); susceptible to impact loads and high temperatures (between 100 and 300 °C depending on structure).
CrN
Has lower wear resistance than TiN. Advantage of CrN: lower residual stresses than TiN. Therefore partially useful for applications with high bending load.
Teflon® (PTFE)
Teflon® non-stick coating (PTFE); due to the very low surface tension, practically no foreign bodies stick to the cutting edge, resistant to acids and alkalis; significantly reduced frictional resistance; the very low static friction allows jerk-free cutting (therefore very suitable for the medical sector); low wear resistance; not suitable for contact with sodium and at temperatures above 250 °C.
Color varnish
Applied over the entire surface, serves as a sorting aid for different material thicknesses and as corrosion protection.
Blueing / Blackening
Applied over the entire surface, light corrosion and starch protection, also serves as a distinguishing aid.
