1 Introduction to Heavy-Tear Serrated Blades

ShengAo Heavy-Tear Serrated Blades represent a revolutionary advancement in industrial cutting technology designed specifically for processing the toughest materials. Engineered with patented deep-serrated tooth geometry, these blades deliver unparalleled performance in recycling operations, waste management facilities, and industrial shredding applications where conventional blades fail. Unlike standard cutting blades that struggle with fibrous, abrasive, or irregular materials, ShengAo's innovative design features aggressive tooth angles and optimized gullet capacity that dramatically increases material grip while reducing energy consumption by up to 25%. With over 15 years of metallurgical expertise, ShengAo has perfected the balance between extreme hardness (HRC 58-62) and impact resistance to create blades that maintain cutting efficiency through extended operational cycles. The Heavy-Tear series solves critical industry pain points including blade slippage, premature wear, and frequent downtime, establishing new standards for productivity in heavy-duty material processing.

2 Key Features & Design Innovations

Deep-Serrated Teeth Technology

The core innovation of ShengAo Heavy-Tear blades lies in their proprietary serration pattern featuring 8-12 TPI (teeth per inch) configurations optimized for different material densities. Unlike conventional straight-edge blades that rely solely on sharpness, our deep-serrated design creates multiple penetration points that initiate material fracture with 40% less downward force. Each tooth features a compound geometry with 25° positive rake angle for aggressive bite and 12° clearance angle to prevent material adhesion. The deep gullets between teeth measure 3-5mm depending on blade size, providing essential space for material ejection that prevents clogging during continuous operation. This revolutionary tooth profile reduces heat buildup by 30% compared to standard blades, significantly extending sharpness retention even when processing abrasive composites containing glass fibers, mineral fillers, or metallic contaminants.

Advanced Material Construction

ShengAo engineers Heavy-Tear blades using proprietary SG-7X tool steel alloy, vacuum-treated to achieve optimal carbide distribution throughout the blade matrix. This specialized metallurgical process creates a unique dual-hardness structure: a core hardness of HRC 48-50 for exceptional impact resistance, surrounded by a cutting edge hardened to HRC 60-62 for maximum wear resistance. Optional surface enhancements include:

• TiAlN Coating: Aluminum titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness to 3,800 HV and maintains cutting performance up to 900°C
• CrN Coating: Chromium nitride coating provides superior corrosion resistance for wet processing environments
• Micro-Blasted Edges: Surface texturing reduces friction coefficient by 15% for smoother cutting action

3 Applications & Industries Served

Recycling Industry Applications

ShengAo Heavy-Tear blades excel in demanding recycling operations where material variability presents constant challenges. In e-waste recycling facilities, these blades effortlessly process circuit boards containing fiberglass epoxy and copper traces that rapidly dull conventional blades. For automotive recycling, the deep-serrated design maintains cutting efficiency through mixed material streams including rubber, textiles, and composite panels. Plastic recycling operations benefit from the blades' ability to maintain consistent cutting performance through contaminated PET streams containing labels, adhesives, and dirt particles that accelerate wear on standard blades. Municipal recycling centers report 40% higher throughput when processing comingled materials including cardboard, plastic films, and aluminum packaging that typically cause blade slippage in single-stream systems.

Waste Processing Applications

In waste-to-energy plants and RDF (refuse-derived fuel) production facilities, Heavy-Tear blades process MSW (municipal solid waste) with exceptional efficiency. The aggressive tooth geometry prevents wrapping problems when cutting fibrous materials like carpeting, textiles, and organic waste. For C&D (construction and demolition) waste processing, blades maintain cutting integrity through materials containing nails, concrete fragments, and wood with embedded fasteners. The optional CrN coating provides critical corrosion resistance when processing wet organic waste or marine debris. Waste management operators report 60% fewer blade changes when processing challenging materials like:

• Insulated copper wiring
• Reinforced rubber conveyor belts
• Fiber-reinforced composite materials
• Mineral-filled plastic composites

Industrial Shredding Solutions

Heavy-Tear blades deliver superior performance in industrial shredding applications requiring consistent particle size reduction. For paper and cardboard shredding operations, the serrated design prevents material slippage that causes jams in high-speed shredders. In tire recycling, blades maintain cutting efficiency through steel-belted radial tires without requiring frequent sharpening. Textile manufacturers utilize these blades for reducing fabric waste and cutting dense fiber batts where conventional blades bind. The balanced design minimizes vibration at high rotational speeds (up to 1,200 RPM), reducing noise pollution and extending bearing life in shredding equipment.

6 Selection Guide: Choosing the Right Blade

Material Factors

Selecting the optimal Heavy-Tear blade configuration requires careful consideration of processed materials:

• Fibrous Materials (textiles, carpet, organic waste): Choose 8 TPI configuration with deep 5mm gullets and CrN coating
• Abrasive Materials (fiberglass, mineral-filled plastics): Select 10 TPI with TiAlN coating and micro-blasted edge treatment
• Mixed Composition (e-waste, C&D waste): Recommend 12 TPI with carbide-enhanced teeth and shock-resistant core
• High-Moisture Content (MSW, food waste): Specify CrN coating with polished gullets to prevent material buildup

Machine Compatibility Factors

Proper blade selection must account for shredder specifications:

• Single-Shaft Shredders: Use thicker blades (8-10mm) with smaller bore sizes for increased structural integrity
• Multi-Shaft Shredders: Select precision-balanced blades with tolerance ±0.05mm to prevent synchronization issues
• High-Speed Shredders (800+ RPM): Specify dynamically balanced blades with vibration-dampening features
• High-Torque Applications: Choose blades with reinforced hubs and tapered tooth geometry

7 Maintenance & Longevity Tips

Maximize Heavy-Tear blade performance and lifespan with proper maintenance protocols:

• Rotation Schedule: Rotate blades within the shredder every 50 operating hours to ensure even wear distribution
• Cleaning Procedure: Remove resin buildup weekly using specialized blade cleaning solutions (avoid abrasive methods)
• Sharpening Protocol: Utilize CNC-controlled sharpening equipment maintaining original tooth geometry (±0.5° tolerance)
• Storage Recommendations: Store blades vertically in climate-controlled environments with VCI (vapor corrosion inhibitor) protection
• Wear Monitoring: Implement digital caliper measurements after each cleaning to track tooth height reduction

Properly maintained Heavy-Tear blades typically withstand 3-5 sharpening cycles before requiring replacement, delivering 300-400% longer total service life than conventional blades.
