Instead of costly retaining rings of conventional knife systems, the KNECHT K 24 cutter knife system uses a combination of a toothed profile sleeve and simple intermediate rings. The top priority of the K 24 cutter knife system is simple handling and maximum operational safety. Therefore, no moving parts such as bolts or screws are used.
K 24 Cutter Knife System
The complete cutting system, consisting of knives, clamping and balancing elements comes from one source. The individual components of the system are manufactured using state-of-the-art production processes and are perfectly matched to each other. The result is a very smooth running of the cutting system – an important prerequisite for high breakage resistance.
In food production, the highest and above all constant quality standards are required. The K 24 cutter knife system can be used on all cutter types and brands. This makes it easier to meet the required standards with a unified cutting system.
The advantages at a glance
Profile sleeve
The profile sleeve allows the blades to be installed in 24 different positions (15° offset). This allows many knife groupings. Depending on operational requirements, the K 24 cutter knife system can always be operated with the optimum knife grouping. The toothing prevents the knives from tilting or unintentional loosening during installation. This minimizes the risk of injury when handling the cutting system. The high-precision production of the profile sleeve and the knives ensures easy mounting and dismounting of the knives.
Balancing
The K 24 cutter knives are dynamically balanced on the knife shaft. Precisely calculated balancing elements ensure the maximum running smoothness of the cutting system for every knife combination. Re-balancing, for example after grinding, is not necessary. The installation time for an 8-knife set is less than 5 minutes (500-750 l bowl cutter).
Mechanical spring clamping nut MCF
The spring clamping nut is operated with a light, fixed torque wrench. Heavy spanners and time-consuming clamping of the blades are a thing of the past. The clamping force is approx. 80 kN (8 tons).
Hydromechanical clamping nut HSM
The hydromechanical clamping nut does not require any clamping key. With a small hydraulic hand pump the cutter knives are clamped quickly, easily and reliably with approx. 90 kN (9 tons).
