High endurance, consistently neat cuts, no fiber-squeezing or backlashing of fiber within the cutting angle zone of the shears – these are just a few of the many benefits of using zirconia ceramic cutting blades in the production process. For cutting purposes UNIPRETEC has developed a high-performance material zirconia ceramics – a special advanced ceramics. It stands out from other materials with its extremely high cutting edge strength and very good flexural strength and hardness. 

>>> Advantages of Zirconia Ceramic Cutters & Blades
 
- Faster cutting rates
- Consistently good cutting quality
- No corrosion
- Smooth running
- Extended maintenance intervals
- Universal cleaning possibilities using acids, alkaline solutions and organic solvents

The range of applications for ceramic cutting tools made of advanced ceramics is always expanding. They are now used for medical purposes as well as in the food and automotive industry.
