Bandit Chipper Knives
Offer Longer Life
Bandit Industries has introduced a new line of chipper knives that can double the useful life of knives. The new EverKnife, developed in conjunction with a supplier, has extended knife life for some customers up to five times, according to Bandit.
The EverKnife is made of wear-resistant, high alloy steel. It is specially heat treated to produce optimum tight grain structure. The combination produces a knife that holds its edge longer and resists chipping. Companies will be able to change knifes less often and reduce time spent re-sharpening.
In addition, chippers equipped with EverKnives run smoother, consume less fuel and produce higher quality chips, Bandit reported.
For more information, contact a local Bandit dealer or contact Bandit Industries at (800) 952-0178, e-mail brushbandit@eclipsetel.com, or visit the Web site at www.banditchippers.com.

Cherry Introduces Dispenser-Stacker
Cherry Industrial Equipment has developed a pallet dispenser-stacker that dispenses a pallet automatically, placing it at floor level for easy removal by a hand pallet truck.
When stacking, the pallet is placed in the open area below the other stacked pallets, and the dispenser will stack it automatically.
The dispenser-stacker uses pneumatic slide pins to grab the pallet and lift it. The machine is made of heavy-duty steel plate with membrane supports capable of withstanding harsh environments. It is controlled by an Allen Bradley Micrologic 1000.
The dispenser-stacker can handle a wide range of pallet sizes and styles.
