Hyde Saved a Plastics Processor 10% per year
After dealing with blade life-span issues, a large plastics processor approached Hyde to develop a solution for them.
Our engineering team evaluated their process and blade chemistry to determine a higher grade of blade with stronger abrasion resistance would help.
The outcome, over $60,000 in savings per year, and tool life increases of 45%!
Hyde 5x's Machine Manufacturer's Blade Cuts
A large machine manufacturer approached Hyde to double the lifespan of their current blades from 200,000 to 400,000 cuts.
Our engineering team worked with the customer to develop a longer lasting blade for their machinery.
The results? New blades that last on average 1,100,000 cuts, more than 5x the original blades, resulting in significant gains.
Hyde Decreased Packaging Tears by 95%
A medical device manufacturer had a significant increase in packaging tears after changing plastic suppliers.
Hyde helped develop a new blade for them increasing both the depth and number of cutting slots.
The customer reported back a decrease in 95% of packaging tears, and a return to similar tool life despite the new plastics.
