[0021] Blade rotary machine with communication and identification inlay included. Rotary blade machine: Rotary machines are specially modified to include the inlay insertion process during paper formation. the Inbox: Rotary machines are specially modified to include the inlay insertion process during paper formation. the Inbox: The diluted mass is evenly distributed on a mobile screen. b Training Section: The putty forms a liquid blade on the screen. At this point, the inlay is introduced into the mass. Inlay insertion: Inlays can be made of metal or plastic. And contain microtexts and holograms.

[0022] Insertion can be continuous or in segments, depending on the design of the blade or smart blade. c Pressing section: The wet blade, now with the inbuilt safety strip, passes through pressure rollers to remove the water and increase the density. d Drying Section: The blade passes through heated cylinders or hot air dryers to remove the moisture. and Calendering Section: The dry smart blade is smoothed and compacted, ensuring that the security tape is well integrated into its core and does not compromise the integrity of the blade. Additional Finish and Safety Rewinding: The blade is rolled into large coils. Cutting and packaging: The blade is cut to the desired final dimensions and packaged. Quality Control Safety Inspection: The smart blade undergoes rigorous quality tests. Inspections include checking the integrity of the safety tape, the presence and correct positioning of the tape and other safety features.

[0023] Therefore, the production of smart blade with security tape on rotary machines is a highly specialised process that guarantees the incorporation of essential security features to prevent fraud and counterfeiting. Each stage of the process, from raw material preparation to final quality control, is carefully managed to ensure the production of a secure, high-quality blade.
