Increase Production
Key Knife’s drum chipper retrofit systems increase production through a longer lasting knife-edge, and a tough durable design. The new Uni-Ridge Knife has proven to last twice as long as other brands of indexable and conventional knife systems. Chipping operations benefit from less downtime and more production.

Improve Chip Quality
Key Knife’s innovative Uni-Ridge Knife utilizes an optimal tip to breaker distance to consistently formulate a uniform chip. A large ridge located on the bottom of the knife provides a smooth transition from the knife across the counterknife, greatly reducing the break-up of quality chips into pins and fines.

Reduce Operating Costs
Key Knife’s indexable Uni-Ridge Knife eliminates the need to grind knives, and the associated labor, maintenance, and part costs. In addition, a few retrofit configurations utilize an innovative two-sided counterknife, which cuts counterknife costs in half. To further reduce operating costs the Uni-Ridge Knife can be rehoned and reused using Key Knife’s compact Pro-Honer II.

Safety
The small indexable Uni-Ridge Knife reduces the risk of injury caused by handling heavy conventional knives. In addition, the disposable Uni-Ridge Knife eliminates the hazardous task of babbitting knives.
