To sharpen the knives of the corncutters we have 2 types of knive sharpeners:
- The small sharpener for grinding 1 knive at a time
- The large sharpener for 6 knives at a time
The small sharpener has a grinderbelt attached. There are a couple of supports on the machine to get the correct sharpening position and angle.
The large sharpener works with a knive revolver which has 6 positions. The revolver is specially designed to ensure the knives are always in the correct position. On the machine is a grinding stone. By controlling the spindles you can adjust the knives to the grinding stone and have a smooth grinding.
The sharpener machines are both very exact and establish the perfect cutting angle.
