Vertical flail technology

With the development of the VERTI-2-FLAIL cutting system, Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik succeeded in developing a completely new flailing technology. Conventional flail systems are based on a design with a knife shaft with a variety of flail knives that rotates against the direction of travel and shreds the cut material. The ESM VERTI-2-FLAIL system is designed differently and features improved mowing action while significantly reducing energy use requirements. The oscillating flail knives are mounted in the vertical flail on a horizontal rotating carrier. The ESM VERTI-2-FLAIL system is patented and guarantees the best cutting results and long service life. Since each hardened knife carrier is equipped with only 2 knives, a knife change is very easy. Knives must be changed if the mowing capacity decreases or vibrations or unusual operating noise occur. In such a case inspect the condition of knives according to the specific safety requirements for the ESM VERTI-2-FLAIL system to and replace them if necessary. It should be noted that with the vertical flail technology from ESM, grinding the knives is not permitted. Worn, bent or damaged flail knives must be replaced as a pair immediately! Only by adhering to the maintenance and safety notices is safe and efficient mowing is guaranteed. If the corresponding measures are maintained, the ESM the vertical flail technology enables professional mowing, even in challenging mowing situations. For example, the vertical flail technology can effortlessly cope with mowing applications, as found in extensive maintenance of green areas to. The robust flail knives cut through even logs to 50 mm diameter and mow through thick vegetation and bushes with ease. The effect of foreign objects are always a problem. Mowing areas are sometimes interspersed with rocks or other objects. The ESM VERTI-2-FLAIL system is extremely robust and insensitive to such foreign objects. In conjunction with the high cutting power it is possible to mow quickly and without interruption, even in difficult and challenging situations with dense vegetation and small trees. The integrated blade brake makes the ESM Vertical flail safe and meets 100% of the applicable statutory rules and regulations in accordance with DIN 12733.
