Indexible Knife Technology
Indexible knife technology is the solution for particleboard mills that are looking for a way to improve flake quality and cut costs associated to the process. Conventional flat knives require a great amount of time and money to maintain. The Ring Slicer’s Ridge Knife is indexible, eliminating the need for grinding and all costs associated to the task. The 2 razor-sharp edges of the Ridge Knife last longer than the edge found on today’s conventional flat knives, allowing you to run longer and produce more quality flakes. The innovative ridge design protects the clamp from wear and seals the assembly from packing.

Improved Flake Quality
The Ring Slicer utilizes 3-bolt spring clamping, ridge technology, and a specially designed wear shoe to keep the knife firmly in place. The special ridge design helps to formulate the flake and provide a smooth path for it to travel, minimizing pins and fines. The adjustable knife-setting feature gives the user the ability to adjust knife extension to meet flake quality requirements. To improve the flow of flakes and decrease the breaking of quality flakes, base assembly clearance is larger, and clamp handles are not used.

Quick and Easy Knife Changes
The Ring Slicer’s base assembly utilizes features that significantly decrease the time it takes to change knives. This is accomplished through a 3-bolt spring clamping feature that releases and clamps the knife by simply adjusting 3 bolts. The Ridge Knife is much smaller then a conventional flat knife, making it both easier and safer to handle. When installing the Ridge Knife a key way located on the bottom of the knife locates on the clamp for quick and easy installation.

Reduced Power Consumption
The advanced design of the Ring Slicer maximizes chip flow and reduces drag on the knife-ring to minimize power consumption. Due to the Ridge Knife’s resistance to wear the edge stays sharp and efficient longer, decreasing the amount of power needed during operation. Wear shoe transition from knife tip is short and smooth, reducing the problematic balling of chips around the anvil, for a smooth and efficient knife-ring rotation. Base assembly clearance in chip flow area has less restriction allowing an unobstructed flow of flakes out of the ring.
