Hammers and knives
Cane Knives and Shredder Hammers are crucial parts used in the process of preparing sugar cane for the milling process. Situated at the front end of the process, knives and hammers not only experience wear from the cane itself, but are also subject to wear from debris like sand, rock, pieces of metal etc. entering the process as part of the feedstock. Deterioration of knives and hammers can happen very quickly, affecting the quality of the cane mass entering the cane rollers, directly affecting production and extracting efficiencies. Effective wear protection of hammers and knives, can be undertaken as frequently as weekly or bi-weekly, and is crucial for achieving and maintaining optimum production levels.
