Cheap is not always economical – Quality knives instead of expensive, cheap knives

Whether you are looking for hollow knives, cutting crowns, flat knives or reversible knives – the market for shredder rotor knives offers an abundance of cheap knives. These knives are often made from economical materials less suited for cutting tools, such as CK45, for example, which is only surface hardened. The service life of these knives is extremely short and their cost-effectiveness therefore very poor in the majority of cases.

Knife wear in crushing machines and its negative consequences

Knife wear in crushing machines and its negative consequences

In addition to the machine itself, which consists of blades and counter-blades (stator knives) is a cutting system existing crusher, the most important component for an efficient crushing process. Therefore it is necessary, based on the material to be shredded to make the right Cutter selection with respect to material hardness and cutting edge geometry.

New blade system CROSS - CUT

Neues Messersystem CROSS-CUT

This worldwide patented blade system with its unique cutting geometry opens totally new perspectives in the shredding technology sector. The cutting intermittent has the shape of a saw tooth. This produces an aggressive cutting behaviour with shredding of plastics, wood, paper, paper board, metal, and waste. Consequently, the advantages and benefits for you are as follows:
- a lower power and energy requirement
- bearing preserving and more quiet running of the rotor
- a higher material throughput
- more homogeneous shreddered material
- a lower percentage of fine dust in the output-material
- an optimal lifetime behaviour
