Knives for Recycling

Ravne Systems develops and manufactures industrial knives for demanding recycling applications, drawing on more than 25 years of experience in the field. Its range of knives for recycling includes shredder knives, granulator knives, holders, and other wear parts designed for different recycling machines and processing requirements.

Shredder knives are designed for applications where waste materials need to be reduced in size during the initial stages of processing, while granulator knives are used to produce granulate from reusable raw materials. The product range covers knives for processing materials such as plastic, PET, copper, aluminum, and rubber, with products available for machines from manufacturers including Vecoplan, Eldan, Lindner, Precimeca, Herbold, and Cumberland.

Material selection plays an important role in the performance of recycling knives. Ravne Systems offers carefully selected steel grades ranging from high-alloy conventional steels to powder-metallurgical high-speed steels and tungsten carbide. The company can select materials according to the specific application, helping adapt the knife to the processed material and operating conditions.

Ravne Systems also provides customized knives for recycling according to individual machine requirements and waste materials. Its application expertise and close cooperation with recycling companies and OEMs support the development of solutions designed to improve knife durability, optimize machine performance, and control operating costs.

Every knife is produced according to strict quality standards and heat treated in Ravne Systems' own computer-controlled vacuum furnaces. This enables repeatable heat-treatment processes and helps preserve the required material properties. With specialized manufacturing, metallurgical expertise, and a broad selection of industrial knife solutions, Ravne Systems provides components for demanding recycling operations.
