Application of knife sharpener in wood industry

Wood chipping knife sharpeners play an indispensable role in the production process of wood chip processing, paper, and plywood factories. This device helps increase the durability and longevity of the chopping knife, thereby improving the working efficiency of the wood chipper. This efficiency not only optimizes the production process but also ensures the quality of output products, making an important contribution to the success of the wood processing industry. Please follow the article below to better understand the application of the wood chipping knife sharpener 

The necessity of a chipping knife sharpener in the export wood chip production line

Wood chipping knife sharpener, an essential piece of equipment, is designed to sharpen and restore wood chipping knives, helping them operate effectively and meet required technical standards. A special feature of this machine is the ability to sharpen knives with a wide stroke, from 500mm to 2700mm, meeting the diverse needs of many types of wood chipper. Usually, a wood chipper knife sharpener is purchased together with a wood chipper, ensuring the wood processing production process is continuous and efficient.

Chopping knives, an indispensable tool in the woodworking industry, are manufactured from an advanced heat treatment process to ensure high hardness and abrasion resistance. Due to the nature of the job, abrasion is inevitable, requiring a professional knife sharpening solution to not reduce the quality of the chopping knife. This led to the development of specialized wood chipping knife sharpeners, which help prolong the life and maintain high performance of chopping knives.

Structure of wood chipping knife sharpener

The structure of the wood chipping knife sharpener includes main parts such as the machine body, working table, linear slider, sliding block, reduction motor, grinding head motor, cooling system and other parts. The structure of each part is compact, beautiful and reasonable, the grinding head moves evenly at high speed.

• Motor grinding table and grinding wheel: Motor grinding table is the part that contains the grinding motor and grinding wheel. Whetstones are usually round stones, also known as whetstone bowls. The speed of the sharpening motor is usually high, often exceeding 2,000 rpm to ensure effective knife sharpening.
• Grinding table sliding mechanism: This mechanism includes a sliding rail, a high-quality sliding rail that often comes with specialized ball bearings. It allows the tool table to move precisely on the slider.
• Operating system: In order for the knife table to move on the slider, the machine also includes an operating system with toothed rails, gear mechanism and gear reduction motor.

• Adjusting the grinding stroke: This system helps position the grinding amplitude. Depending on the type of knife and the degree of abrasion, users can adjust the sharpening strokes according to specific requirements.
• Knife clamp and slider container: This container is responsible for holding the knife and slider. It is usually designed to be sturdy and has 4 tripods to ensure stability. In addition, the container also keeps water and dust from splashing out during the knife sharpening process, while ensuring safety in case the sharpening stone breaks.
• The control cabinet in the GREEN MECH automatic knife sharpener is the heart of the entire system. Designed to be simple yet powerful, the control cabinet ensures that the knife sharpening process takes place accurately and efficiently. With the combination of reliable industrial components, the control cabinet ensures that the machine operates stably and safely, helping to enhance productivity and product quality.

Working principle of knife sharpener

Preparation stage: The chopping knife is mounted on the knife grinding table with bolts fixed into the holes of the knife slot. The sharpening stone is adjusted to make moderate contact with the knife. Do not adjust the sharpening stone too much over the surface of the knife. This will affect the stone and the knife will wear out a lot, leading to a reduction in the life of the wood chopping knife. The grinding stroke can be adjusted using the stroke installed on the front rail of the chopping knife sharpener.

Start the machine: When the grinding motor reaches a stable speed for the grinding wheel, the knife table begins to move. The sharpening stone comes into contact with the knife surface to sharpen the knife. When moving from one end of the knife to the other, the knife is sharpened. During the knife sharpening process, water is continuously pumped to cool the grinding wheel and blade.
