BLADE AND

BUSHING

LUBRICATION

If the blade has a rough surface where the extrudate rubs against it, material will accumulate on the blade in a cheese grater fashion. This scratched material will also be passed from the blade to the next cut and be seen as hairs or flakes.

Some of the more flexible materials, such as silicones, soft urethanes and flexible PVCs, also exhibit drag against the blade during the cutting cycle. The part will actually stick to the side of the blade and drag down between the bushings. Typically a small "c" shaped tail of the tube will accumulate in the bottom of the cutting chamber. This tail actually tore off the tube rather than cut due to the excessive drag against the blade

The generation of heat during cutting can also lead to parts that stick to each other. They may appear to be welded togeth- er, and an extra operation may be required to separate them. This can be a real problem in materials such as latex, silicone, PP, and flexible PVC.

Benefits of using lubricants

The primary benefit of using a cutting lubricant is reducing friction. If the cutting blade is coated with a film of lubricant, the coefficient of friction between the blade and the plastic tube or profile is reduced, reducing the generation of frictional heat.

Lubricants also minimize the tendency for material to stick to the blade, thus minimizing the potential for material to be wiped on the next cut part. The co-efficient of friction is reduced with varying degrees, depending on the type of lubri- cant, which in turn limits the increase in blade temperature. Over time this can lead to an increase in blade life because the cutting edge will last longer at cooler operating temperatures.

While lubricants can also help minimize problems caused by rough or poorly ground blades and cutter bushings, it is gener- ally better to solve the problem than mask it with lubricants.
