By adopting "powdered high-speed steel," the durability is increased due to the change in blade material, and annual costs are significantly reduced!
Here is a case study of Company A that adopted Arus's "powdered high-speed steel."
The company was using high-speed steel blades in their rubber sheet cutting machines, but due to the lack of durability of the blades, they spent a lot of time on blade replacements and were exploring ways to extend the lifespan of the blades.
In response, Arus proposed a method to "introduce highly durable blades to extend their lifespan and reduce the frequency of blade replacements."
By introducing our highly durable "powdered high-speed steel," although the unit cost per blade increased, the annual number of blade replacements was reduced from 360 to 30, cutting replacement time by 92% and overall costs by approximately 61%.
[Implementation Effects (Excerpt)]
■ Blade Replacement Time (= Line Downtime)
- Before Implementation: 12 replacements per day @ 15 minutes × 1 blade × 12 replacements per day × 30 times a year = 90 hours
- After Implementation: 1 replacement per day @ 15 minutes × 1 blade × 1 replacement per day × 30 times a year = 7.5 hours
→ -82.5 hours (approximately 92% reduction in replacement time)
