Cutters and Guillotine Blades
Fernite blades are used to cut and slice a diverse range of products from ice-cream to nougat. We are able to advise on different surface finishes, such as mirror polished, metallic deposition and PTFE coatings for improved performance.

Freezer Blades
Fernite have gained considerable experience in the manufacture of freezer blades, made in stainless steels carefully treated for optimum performance in an extreme operating environment.

Scraper Blades
Fernite scraper blades are used in drum dryer machines, rotary moulders and refiner mills, manufactured to meet the customers needs. We produce blades in different material specifications from carbon spring steel to stellite subject to exact application, designed to achieve the best wear resistance without compromising the drum or cylinder.

Slicer and Dicing Blades
Special purpose blades made to customers' requirements in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, produced from an extensive range of steel stocks, held in our associated stockholding operation. We employ the latest CNC machine technology, including laser cutting and precision press-work which enables us to meet any demand promptly and cost effectively.

Steel Specifications
The grade of steel selected is subject to the application, our extensive experience is available to you and our technical staff will be pleased to advise you. Heat treatment is carried out in our own plant, the optimum combination of hardness and strength being dependent upon the steel specification and knife application, which is achieved by careful control of the tempering cycle. We are also able to advise on a range of specialised coatings for your specific application.
