Blade Sharpening

WOOD CHIPPER BLADE SHARPENING SUPPLIERS IN SOUTH AFRICA

A key element of running a successful chipper operation is making sure your chipper is in tip top shape and performs at its absolute best. Your chippers’ performance largely depends on the sharpness of your blades and the way they are sharpened. Blades must always be sharpened by a specialist so that the angle of the blade remains constant, which means taking the same amount of steel away on both sides of the blades so that the drum remains in balance. Sharpening blades with the wrong equipment will adjust the temper of the blade, thus decreasing its lifespan, reduce chipping efficiency and might even cause the blade to break while in operation.

To reduce downtime on your machine and lower running costs it is best to have your blades sharpened at a specialist closest to you.
