Big Savings with new Bolt – On Conversion
Reducing operating costs helps sawmills become more profitable and sustainable. Cortex’s latest ‘bolt on and save’ conical head solution is a great example of how upgrading to a Cortex system can significantly reduce operating.
APPROXIMATE COST COMPARISION:
BRAND L - 1.75” FACING KNIFE: $29 / EDGE LIFE: 2 SHIFTS
CORTEX – 1.75” FACING KNIFE: $9.69 / EDGE LIFE: 6 SHIFTS
1/3 the cost and 3 times the knife is significant! 6x savings on knife cost!
Additional comments from the mills are the Cortex knife system is more user friendly for the knife change, no packing of material between the knives. Cortex locks into place every time for repeatability.
Conversion cost is less than changing out worn out bases of the competition. Contact Cortex for a no risk 30 day performance guarantee installation with one of our service techs.
