Circular knife resharpening for urschel equipment
In food processing plants, maintaining the sharpness of circular knives is crucial for efficient cutting operations. Blunt knives can reduce cutting precision and increase product waste, leading to higher operational costs.
Resharpen circular knives with high precision
The Model CKG Honer by Urschel Laboratories, Inc. is designed for resharpening circular knives used in various Urschel cutting machines. This honer accommodates 3, 3-1/2, 4, and 5-inch diameter knives with plain, serrated, and scalloped edges. It supports knives beveled on both sides and heavy-duty circular knives. The knife is clamped into a hub and rotated by a motor, while a circular hone revolves against one side. This process forms a feather edge, which is removed by a hardened deburring roller on the opposite side. This method minimizes material removal, prolonging knife life. Transitioning between different knife sizes takes only a few minutes, making it advisable to have multiple honers for large-scale operations requiring various knife sizes.
Benefits
- Prolongs the life of circular knives
- Compatible with multiple knife sizes and edge types
- Minimizes material removal during sharpening
- Quick knife size transitions
- Maintains full depth serrations for knife longevity
