PLATE TECHNOLOGY

Keep Producing for as Long as Possible

Cutting and counter plates for the packaging industry

C.A.PICARD® manufactures your cutting plates to your specified contour and OEM specifications, with extreme wear resistance and the tightest tolerances, in consistently top quality.

What you don’t want are plates made from inferior steel. They cause uneven loading, surface scratches, and contamination of the packaging, which reduces productivity and efficiency and adds cost to your production.

You want to produce for as long and as precisely as possible, and we make that happen. We bring experience, know-how, and state-of-the-art machines to every order, and we use only the best materials to meet your requirements and those of your customers.

Refurbishment service

After intensive use, plates show signs of wear. These can lead to reduced quality and productivity. To avoid this, the C.A.PICARD® service comes into play. Thanks to decades of experience in grinding technology, we restore the surface of the plates to as-new condition. This is how we keep your productivity at a consistently high level. We operate service centers worldwide where your tools are ground and straightened quickly, precisely and cost-effectively. Even if they are third-party products.

We offer our reconditioning service for the following wear parts:

  • Press Plates
  • Separator Plates
  • Transport / Cover Plates
  • Top and Bottom Plates
  • Cutting Plates
  • Slider Plates
  • Vulcanizing Molds
  • and many more
