Pelletizer Knife Regrinding
At Hyde Blades, we understand that consistent quality and high performance are integral to your operations. This is why we offer a comprehensive in-house regrinding service that expertly restores your pelletizer knives to their optimal cutting condition.
Regrinding not only hones your blade edges but also substantially extends their service life. Our in-house experts take the time to carefully inspect each blade and grind the minimum off to bring it back to “like-new” quality. This meticulous process maximizes the number of possible regrinds for each blade.
We know how critical it is to have a continual supply of optimally-sharpened rotor knives—this is why we prioritize lightning-quick turnaround times without compromising the quality of our regrinding work. Our standard regrinding lead time is around four weeks.
Pelletizer Rotor Knife Rebuilding
We offer a comprehensive pelletizer rotor knife rebuilding service that replaces old parts with new ones. This helps to extend the lifespan of the rotor knives and ensures peak performance. We swap out the cutting edges, bolts, holders, and spacers during rebuilding.
These components are critical to ensuring rotor blade efficiency. Replacing them can save money on operational costs and prevent unscheduled downtime. We strongly suggest having your rotor blades checked every 6 to 12 months.
We use a meticulous rebuilding process. It starts with fully disassembling the rotor knife assembly and inspecting each part for wear and tear. Our highly skilled service technicians then replace the worn parts with new components that meet or exceed the original specifications. We then reassemble and balance to ensure optimal performance.
Let the experts at Hyde rebuild your aging or poorly performing pelletizer blades. Our strict quality control standards and highly skilled engineers ensure each knife we rebuild works as well as a new one.
