In response to customer demand, we have created a conversion kit for KS1 single-speed sharpeners, so that anyone who chooses to upgrade their sharpener can do it with us.

The kit includes a boxed inverter and an electric motor. The rebuild is done in our workshop so the machine must be returned to us in Debrecen. During the reassembly we will inspect and check the machine. The 230 [V] 180 [W] electric motor will be returned to the machine, we are not able to take it back or to include its price in the rebuild.

The belt speed of the machine will thus be infinitely adjustable between 3 and 12 [m/s]. Thanks to the slower speed, it is also suitable for very fine sharpening work requiring little material separation. With a maximum belt speed of 12 [m/s], the machine is also able to cope effectively with larger material separations. Thus, blade maintenance, thinning and re-profiling can be easily carried out with the machine. Last but not least, line deburring is also faster at higher belt speeds, allowing the productivity of the machine to be improved to around 15-20 knives per hour, depending on knife condition. This can be further increased by purchasing additional knife grippers to grip knives at the same time, saving on tape changes.
Slowing down the belt speed also makes it ideal for fine sharpening work requiring very fine material removal.

The electric motor is a three-phase, 250 [W] industrial asynchronous electric motor controlled by a single-phase frequency converter, so the machine operates from a 230 [V] mains supply.

The inverter is housed in a separate electrical box, thus protected against dust.

The price of the set includes:

Complete disassembly and inspection of the machine
Re-calibration of the machine
The frequency converter in a box which operates from 230 [V]
The 250 [W] electric motor
Repackaging of the machine, reboxing, new machine board.
You can order the abrasive belts and, if required, the scissor clamp, the cleaver clamp and the chisel clamp from these links.
