Setting the cutting knives
WARNING
Danger of cutting caused by sharp cutting knives.
Serious injury, in particular to hands and fingers, can re-
sult.
Wear protective gloves.
Rotor knives for the L
series shredder don’t have to be adjusted.
All adjustments have to be done with the stator knives.
To simplify knife setting and shorten standstill periods when
replacing the knives, VIRTUS stator knives have four adjusting
screws, two for pulling two for pushing the knife.
If you have several knife sets, you will also avoid standstill periods
of the machine.
Correct and careful setting of the gap between the rotor knives
and the stator knives (cutting gap) is an important requirement for
the productive capacity of the shredder.
Factors for the size of the knife gap are the size of the rotor, the
design of the rotor and the material to be ground.
For setting the knives, proceed as follows:
