13.1. Types of knife available
A wide selection of knives is available for the PUMA-CE.
As a standard feature the machine is equipped with a “single knife” and
a “double sickle-shaped knife”, if nothing to the contrary has been agreed
upon when the machine is ordered.
The different types of knife are distinguished from each other by the
following:
– Length of cut
– Method of grinding
– With or without serrations and type of serration
– Single or double blade
Please make use of the expertise of our Applications Technology De-
partment and consult us if you require advice on a suitable knife for your
particular needs.
