Mowing knife blades

Mowing knife blades manufactured by ESM in the patented Carbodux process have been used in different areas of the oscillating mowing for decades. Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik's long-term experience in the field of knife blades technology is an important part of the company's success. ESM mowing blades are characterized by high fracture resistance, low wear and excellent cutting force. The Carbodux process provides for significantly longer mowing without regrinding and significantly increases mower performance. Mowing knife blades differ in their design and size. Depending on the application double knife blades, double bar blades or double blades are used. ESM adapts the working width and design of the mowing blades to meet customer needs. Due to the severe stress that the mowing blades are subject to during mowing, replacement or sharpening the blades at certain intervals is inevitable. Contact with stones and hard foreign objects also causes stress on the blades. To ensure longest possible mowing blade service life, the guidelines for cutting system maintenance must be observed. Depending on the design of the cutting system, specific measures must be taken to ensure the optimum cutting performance. It is important to ensure that mowing knives are straight. The individual mowing knife blades must be aligned. How the knife blades are honed is also an important factor. Only well and expertly honed mowing blades can work properly and achieve optimum cutting results. Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik supplies its customers with professional quality mowing knife blades and detailed instructions that describe exactly how the knife blades must be sharpened. How often a mower knife blade must be sharpened depends on the stress that it is subject to in the cutting system. As a general guideline, an operating time of 5-20 hours can be reached. After this period the mowing blades should be checked and re-sharpened if necessary. When conducting this important and inevitable maintenance considerable caution must be taken. The respective work steps for removing the mowing knives must be strictly adhered to.
