Health protecting thanks to water cooling


Professional cutting edges


Universal use


In the version with the HV 150, the machine is specially designed for sharpening hand knives.

A coolant pump supplies the individual grinding stations with water. This prevents the cutting edges from overheating during grinding. The water cooling system binds the grinding abrasion and prevents it from escaping into the environment. The polishing abrasive is sucked off. This protects the operator‘s respiratory tract.

As an alternative to the polishing disk, the knife can also be deburred with the wet-honing disk. This works without polishing paste. The polishing abrasive is bound in the cooling water. In combination with the wet-honing disk, the machine is simply hosed down for cleaning.

The advantages at a glance

Wet-grinding belt

Wet-grinding belt

The wet-grinding belt ensures a very fine cutting tool surface. The profiled rubber contact wheel creates a flat evenly curved knife profile.

Finned grinding wheel

Finned grinding wheel

Fine grinding of the cutting tools takes place on the water cooled finned grinding wheel. The soft fins lie against the knife profile. The fine grit gently removes only small amounts of material, thus preserving the knife.

Polishing disk

Polishing disk

The polishing disk removes the burr created during grinding. It produces fine, polished surfaces and a burr-free, very smooth cutting edge. Peripheral speed and polishing disk are optimally matched to each other. Handling errors are thus compensated.

The knife guides ensure that the hand knives are sharpened with the correct cutting edge angle at all times. Additional integrated magnets support the guidance of the knife and make the grinding process extremely simple. The long-life CBN grinding wheels are water-cooled.

Belt grinding attachment HV 161 (optional)

The belt grinding attachment enables angle true cutting edges for cutter knives up to 120 l at minimum effort. For the machine operator, this means: safe, precise and fatigue-free work.

Serration grinding wheel (optional)

Serration grinding wheel (optional)

Serration grinding wheels in different pitches allow easy and quick profiling of cutlery knives. This is done in three operations: Grinding out the old profile on the wet-grinding belt – re-profiling on the serration grinding wheel – deburring and polishing on the polishing disk.
