7.Operation
7.1
General principles of grinding technology
If a blade has become blunt, material must be removed from its surface to restore it to its original
sharpness.
For that, the knife in question is ground to produce its cutting edge. If, in the process, a burr
­appears on the blade, then the grinding process was successful and can be concluded. Now,
­before the final sharpness is achieved, the burr must be removed in a further step. This is done
with a flap brush.
As it is not only the sharp cutting edges but also the long service lives that define a blade, the
­cutting angle is another important indicator of a blade's performance. The smaller the cutting
edge angle, the higher the theoretical service life. In practice, however, the cutting edge breaks
off and is therefore no longer sharp when the cutting edge angle is too small.
The cutting edge angles must therefore lie between 15° and 35°. If the cutting edge angles
are less than 15°, the blade becomes so unstable that it breaks at the slightest resistance. If the
cutting edge angle is greater than 35°, the blade is extremely stable, but service life will not be as
long.
One more criterion for judging the properties of a cutting edge is the cutting edge profile.
There are three different ground profiles:
Tapered grinding
Convex grinding
Concave grinding
Convex ground profiles can mostly be found on cutter blades and hand knives. Tapered and
­concave ground profiles are predominantly found on circular knives and blades.
In general: Adhering to the profiles and the cutting edge angles specified by the manufacturer is
required
NOTICE
If tapered grinds or concave grinds are to be
applied, the grinding machine must be
equipped with a harder contact disk.
33
7.Operation
7.2
Changing the profile
By default, the grinding machine produces a
­profile for boiled sausage knives.
If a flatter profile is to be ground, the grinding
cycle counter must be incremented after the 2nd
feed.
The more often a knife profile is ground, the flatter will be the knife.
Figure 7-1 “Feed cycles” product data
ATTENTION
34
If a short profile is to be ground, the number of
knife feeds must be reduced.
Control parameters may only be changed by
accordingly qualified personnel. This person
must be familiar with the machine functions
and the meaning of the parameters. Otherwise, damage to the machine is likely to
occur.

9. Care and maintenance
9.2Cleaning
Clean the machine after each grinding process to prevent grinding sludge from drying, hence
making it harder to remove.
After cleaning, lightly grease the machine with non-corrosive oil (also refer to lubrication schedule
in Chapter 9.1.1).
The coolant must be changed every week.
The copy clamping plate can be lowered for
­cleaning the machine.
To do that, close the protective hood.

First, open the rear doors (3-2/4) on the backside
of the machine and pull out the connector plug
underneath the guard plate.
Then turn the Allen screws (9-7/2) all the way to
the stop in counter-clockwise direction from the
front. To do that, use a SW10 Allen wrench.
Figure 9-7 Dismantling the guard plate
The guard plate can now be pulled forward and
out of the machine.
Re-assemble the guard plate in reverse sequence.
ATTENTION
Be careful while re-assembling the guard
plate as the limit switch and cable could be
damaged otherwise.
Flap brushes must not get wet, since they
can only absorb polishing paste and can only
correctly deburr a knife in dry state.
