Knife honing system for food processing blades
Optimize your slicing and dicing operations with precise edge sharpening, ensuring consistently high-quality cuts and extended knife life for efficient food processing.
The Model JKH Honer from Urschel Laboratories, Inc. is a precision honing machine designed for food processing environments. It ensures optimal performance by sharpening the slicing knives and julienne tabs used in TranSlicer® cutters. Using a steady grinding wheel movement, it maintains the edge for consistent processing of products like potato chips, carrot sticks, and apple slices. This benchtop unit is ideal for manual batch operations, promising cost-effective knife longevity and consistent cut quality. With its compact dimensions and robust 1/6 HP motor, it integrates seamlessly into pre-processing departments. The machine’s manual operation allows for precise control, while its easy integration into existing workflows minimizes downtime.
