Cane Knife Station

Installed before a shredder or mill, a cane knife station uses rapidly rotating blades to cut whole cane into shorter pieces and open the rind. Blade edges, blade holders, housing liners and feed and discharge chutes are the main wear areas. Knife discs, the main shaft and the bearing system are critical to rotor reliability.
