Appleton Manufacturing

Appleton Manufacturing Division’s patented Auto Indexing Knife maintains the highest cut quality throughout all cuts, extends the life of the core cutter knife, and reduces operator interaction with the blade. This easy-to-install retro-fit and upgrade extends the life of the blade by providing more usable cutting surface per knife. By automatically indexing the knife to a new cutting edge and setting the number of cuts between blade indexes, Appleton’s knife indexer limits the operator’s handling time of the blade to replacements only, which minimizes changeover downtime, as well as operator interaction with the knife.
