Name:
Knife Ring Flakers
Purpose:
Knife Ring Flakers must generate enough centrifugal strength to maintain the chips constantly pressed against the knives and fight the shearing stress. Conventional Flakers are designed to refine chips of regular size and mass. But, they do not generate enough strength to refine material of small size-mass, i.e. micro-chips, oversize particles sawdust cubes, etc. In this case the reduced centrifugal strength is not sufficient to fight the shearing stress and small material go on jumping into the knife ring, which transforms them in toothpicks and sub-cubes with a fast loss of cutting capacity of knives. Starting from these physics concepts, we re-invented the Knife Ring Flakers .
