KNECHT Fully Automatic Hand Knife Sharpening Machine E 50 RT
See specs →The output is up to 780 hand knives per 8 hour shift at 1–2 hours personnel deployment.
The magazine consists of two towers and has space for 576 knives. It can be loaded during the operating process. That means – no downtime because of magazine change. If the magazines are fully loaded at shift changeover, the E 50 RT processes 576 knives completely manless.
Since each knife is individually detected before the sharpening process begins, the magazines can be loaded with knives of various shapes and sizes.
