Flail knives

Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik has been involved in the development and production of different mowing technologies for decades. The rotary mowing technology with flail blades is a good addition to the oscillating cutting works. ESM provides comprehensive consultancy as to which cutting system must be used for each mowing application. If the purchase of a flail mower or flail mulcher being considered, the question arises, what type flail knives and flail mower are to be used. Flail blades and mowers are available in many different sizes and shapes and have correspondingly different mowing characteristics. The system of rotating flails basically presents a special design of the flail mower: To prevent of the cutter shaft from throwing stones or other foreign objects up through the rapid rotation, flail mowers are surrounded by a thick wall flail mower housing. It is important with a flail mowers that the flail knives are manufactured by a reputable manufacturer. In the production of the ESM flail knives a Y-shape or a pendulum bearing special knife version VERTI-2-FLAIL are used. Both flail systems are distinguished by patented cutting system that can be used in difficult work situations. ESM flail knives are fitted with multi-stage cutting edge that are extremely durable. Flail knives in Y-shape are equipped with a two-stage cutting edge which provides for a clean cut. If a blade change is necessary, this has easily and quickly done with a Y-flail knives from ESM. Flail knives in the vertical direction of rotation, as with the VERTI-2-FLAIL from ESM, can be used under the harshest conditions. For this reason flail knives are the preferred type of knife when surfaces are rarely mowed or maintained. Mowing, shredding and mulching with a flail mowers with ESM flail knives is no problem where dense vegetation prevents mowing with other mowers. The flail knives cut through bushes and small trees and can also be used in heterogeneous patchy embankments and slopes. The work in the vineyards and forest can be significantly simplified by using flail mower knives.
