HSC Knives and Durham-Duplex were delighted to exhibit at the Resource & Waste Management Expo at eth NEC 11-12th September 2024.   RWM is the leading event in UK for waste, recycling and resource professionals as the UK accelerates its change towards a more sustainable planet. At RWM, the professionals engage in discussions on critical waste and resource management, green technologies, and the circular economy all of which needs recycling knives and cutters.  So for the HSC team this is straight ion our sweet spot and the Expo gives un fettered access to recycling professionals over two action-packed days.

The team profiled the company’s range of shredders, shredder teeth, bolsters, shears, granulators, tyre shredding blades, chippers and all manner of safety knives to the attendees which range from council operatives to global energy companies. The delegates were impressed by the full design and build capabilities of the Company and short lead times but also the depth of knowledge of the staff on the stand.  This makes HSC Knives a trusted partner of many of the delegates so it was good to see customers visiting the stand as well as attendees eager to discover cutting-edge technologies, and crucial insights that elevated their operations.  In a world where the importance of a circular economy, achieving net-zero goals, and promoting sustainability is high on every buyers mind working with a  Company that can deliver the high utility blades needed to maximise yield is a high priority.  HSC Knives ticks that box.

Proper maintenance and storage of Durham-Duplex blades is essential to ensure safety and maximise blade lifespan. Here are a few key tips:

Clean after use: Remove any debris, product residue, or moisture after each use. For industrial settings, follow the appropriate cleaning protocol depending on the material being cut (especially in food or medical industries).

Dry thoroughly: Ensure the blades are completely dry before storage to prevent corrosion or rusting—especially important for carbon steel blades.

Store safely: Use the original packaging or a designated dry, secure container. For safety knives, always retract the blade after use.

Regular inspection: Periodically check for signs of wear, dullness, or damage. Replace blades at the first signs of reduced performance to maintain precision and avoid machine stress or product damage.

Durham-Duplex also offers blade handling tools and dispensers to improve safe usage in industrial environments.
