Have you heard about the CHT process yet? It’s proven to extend the life of drill bits, boost throughput, and reduce spoilage—making it a smart upgrade for bindery and print-finishing operations.
Wear and tear on machines and equipment leads to downtime and defects. In drilling, dull or overheating bits can clog, break, damage spindles, and ruin lifts—especially painful when it happens at the last step.
Dull bits often leave ragged holes or depress sheets from “punching,” generating excess heat that can curl the tip and wreck the job. CHT’s low-friction surface helps bits run cooler and shed paper plugs (chads), improving hole quality and consistency.
CHT is a value-added surface treatment that combines precise chemistry, heat, and dwell time to enhance wear resistance and reduce friction. We match the coating to your application:
Ideal on drills, select stitcher parts, perforators, slitters, and other cutting tools.
Depending on the job, CHT can double or even triple drill-bit life, making drilling easier, faster, and more productive.
On slitters, perfs, and scores, TiN commonly increases surface hardness (Rockwell) and extends tool life by 3–5×, improving cut quality and saving money.
