Highgate Knecht E 50 R Fully Automatic Knife Sharpening Machine

Click2Contact

Designed for large abattoirs, meat and food processing operations, the KNECHT E 50 R is a fully automatic knife sharpening system built to handle the demands of high-volume production environments.

Sharpening up to 780 hand knives per 8-hour shift with only 1–2 hours of personnel deployment required, the E 50 R is designed to deliver consistent, precision results. The user simply loads 60 knives randomly into the magazine; the machine does the rest.

Each knife is individually scanned at the measuring station, with its unique shape converted into CNC data. The gripping arm then sharpens, deburrs and polishes each knife to spec, ensuring blade shape is maintained through every re-sharpening cycle.

Key benefits include: claimed to increase meat yield by more than 0.5%; claimed to reduce RSI and knife-related injuries by up to 80%; handles hand knives of various shapes and sizes; and integrated suction and water cooling are designed to reduce emissions and protect operator respiratory health.

The Knecht E 50 R Fully Automatic Knife Sharpening Machine will be on display on Highgate’s stand S28 at foodpro.
