Rotary knife

The rotary knife is a common application in the packaging industry where many products are packaged using a seal-and-cut technique. Packaging is fed from a continuous roll and is formed into a tube around the product and the package is then sealed and cut by a rotating knife. Rotary knives are also used in other applications where the process involves matching speed with a conveyor mechanism at consistent product spacing, such as stamping a package.
