SMX4 and SMX5 knives


 
Sophisticated and economical profile, these knives are designed for poorly abrasive polymers for very high flow rates per hour (suitable to Amn “R2D2” concept)

 
 
 
 
In 1993, AMN invented the BMS knives, AMN has again decided to develop in 1999 a new high performance knife in order to meet the production demand of any type of polymer.

STRUCTURE : The monobloc type offers a superior resistance to breakage without being detrimental to flexibility.
 
ALLOY : Exclusively developed by AMN, a semi-oxidizing type, constructed of a special stainless steel compound produced for fine pelletizing. This offers an excellent self sharpening and resistance to wear. Alloy nuance : MBWr
 
PROFILE : Due to its curved shape, it :
  • Allows for a sequential cut of the pellets, regardless of the product hole positioning on the die plate,
  • Reduces the possibility for agglomerates formation,
  • Makes start up easier,
  • Allows a presence of water on the entire area of the knife edge,
  • Eliminates the depression zone at the heel of the knives,
  • Creates a better cooling of the knife edge.
(A thermal control preserves the hardness of the alloy. The result is no metallurgical transformation due to high temperature).
 
ECONOMY : An average of 10 % energy savings on the pelletizer within the same production conditions with your present profile.
 
QUALITY : In collaboration with our steel manufacturers, a precise specification sheet has been established. A better quality control and a consistent caliber of alloy will ensure the same performance of these knives over an entire year.
Throughout manufacturing, each knife is individually checked to demonstrate a high geometrical precision.
 
SERVICES : All knives are available for stock in AMN’s factory. AMN can study the adaptability of a “non standard” knife without any fee within a maximum period of 48 hours.
