Rapeseed knives

The extensive range of cutting units for special applications, which is manufactured by ESM, also includes high quality rapeseed knives. As a traditional manufacturer and developer of oscillating cutting plants, ESM is represented here, as in all fields of professional mowing, cutting and harvesting. As in all areas of commercial agriculture, the technical development in harvesting rapeseed is also geared towards an ever greater specialization of tools according to the specific needs of the mowing and harvesting process. Higher demands are being placed the quality of the products used. Accordingly, in the harvest specific ESM rapeseed knives are used, their cutting power is optimally adapted to growth, harvesting process and structure of the crop. The rapeseed harvest is associated with particular requirements, since the rapeseed plants are particularly densely interwoven into each other. For harvesting rapeseed, in addition to the horizontal mowing knives, special, vertically mounted rapeseed harvester heads with ESM rapeseed knives are used. When designing such rapeseed knives, as produced in professional quality by Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik, specific aspects must be considered. First, particularly high demands are placed on the quality and reliability of the components, as with all cutting systems used in commercial agriculture. These quality standards are met by ESM rapeseed knives through the use of high quality components and materials. Knife blades and all other ESM rapeseed knife components are manufactured to the high company standards and guarantee high cutting power and long service life. Additional specific characteristics are considered in the design of knives for harvesting rapeseed. ESM rapeseed knives of are manufactured in a special lightweight design that significantly reduces the knife energy consumption. This is a great advantage in the often electrically driven rapeseed cutting systems. Low-vibration operation is particularly important for rapeseed knives, since the greater part of oilseed vibration loss can are prevented.
