KPS Advantages

Improved Chip Quality
The KPS’s innovative Uni-Ridge Knife consistently formulates a uniform chip and provides a smooth transition from the knife across the counterknife. The smooth transition greatly reduces the break up of quality chips into pins and fines. To improve chip modulation the KPS gives you the flexibility to adjust knife attack by simply changing knives. Now more than ever you have greater influence over your mill's chip quality and distribution.

Increased Production
The KPS Chipper System increases production through a longer lasting knife edge, quick knife change, and tough durable design. The Uni-Ridge Knife’s 2 precision ground edges have proven to last twice as long as other indexible and conventional knife systems. This gives you the option to continuously run longer and increase production during a shift. The innovative Key Pivot System significantly shortens the time it takes to change knives. Simply turn a few load screws to release the knives. No more loosening dozens of clamp bolts. Due to the KPS’s solid design and use of quality materials downtime caused by system failure is virtually eliminated, ensuring your chipper stays running.

Increased Operating Efficiency and Safety
The smaller indexible Uni-Ridge Knife is safer to handle, and eliminates the costly task of grinding and babbitting. The innovative Key Pivot System allows for quick one-man knife changes to be made in less than 30 minutes. Unlike all other whole log chipper systems, the KPS utilizes a segmented pocket design. This allows for the rotation of wear parts in and out of the cutting zone for longer part life. The advanced segmented pocket design is of significant value when metal contaminants enter the system. Instead of having to replace the entire assembly, simply replace or rotate the damaged parts out of the cutting zone to save time and money.
