Key Knife developed the High Recovery XL conical chipping head product line for progressive mills that want to maximize the value of their wood products and improve the operating efficiencies tied directly to the process. The innovative High Recovery XL product line delivers unmatched gains in recovery, surface finish, chip quality, and operating efficiencies.  
 
   
      
   
 


Pre-Cutting Saw
The pre-cutting saw provides a sawn finish with little to no knot pull out or fiber pull for a superior finish. Key Knife uses a ring saw configuration to keep weight down, as well as cost. The saw is universal for both right and left chipping heads.

  
 
Post-Cutting Saw
The post cutting saw follows the finishing knife to clean up the cut for a sawn finish. Because the entire width of the saw face is not used (approximately .015”) less sawdust is produced, and recovery is maximized. Key Knife uses a ring saw configuration to keep weight down, as well as cost. The saw is universal for both right and left chipping heads.
 		  
 
Limiter Clamps and Secondary Limiters
The helical surface of the limiter clamp and secondary limiter matches the cutting contour of the knife, providing stable surface contact with the log/cant if it begins to surge. Limiter Technology ensures smooth and consistent log/cant flow, minimizing surging and reducing step cutting on entry.
