We need to carefully consider the heat treatment processing requirements to ensure the optimum performance properties can be achieved from the steel used to manufacture the machine blade.

An industrial knife is the heart and soul of the recycling process. It crushes and mills different types of waste – reusable raw materials (PET, plastics, copper, aluminium, rubber etc.) into granulate. Waste is never completely homogeneous.
