Knife holder DS 8 easy change
The well-known and widely used DS 8 knife holder has been supplemented by another comfort feature, the "easy change". Easy Change means that it is easy and convenient to change knives without tools. This new and patented system of knife change minimizes set-up times considerably and contributes to work and process reliability in the company.
How the knife is changed: The knife can be easily removed and replaced by unlocking the safety bar and removing the clamping nut. The ring nut is then screwed back onto the knife holder until the locking clip engages in its fixing position. The locking pin serves to prevent the knife carrier from twisting when changing knives, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.
The advantages at a glance:
- Knife head with patented tool-free knife change, thus: shorter set-up times, positive locking of the ring nut (easy change), screws and tools cannot fall into the machine (as possible with conventional systems)
- with locking pin to prevent the knife carrier from twisting when changing knives (reduces the risk of accidents)
- high safety standard thanks to 360° safety hand protection
