What is the AGS-300 and what is it used for?
The AGS-300 is a benchtop sharpener made entirely of AISI-304 stainless steel, for the maintenance of circular knives in food processing lines. The equipment is compatible with the entire range of SliceFil slicers —models 300, 310, 320, 340 and 360— and ensures continuity of cutting performance throughout the life cycle of the tool.
This is an essential complement for any slicing line that wants to maximize the useful life of its cutting tools and maintain the demands of current hygiene standards.
Technical characteristics
The AGS-300 circular knife sharpener is designed with the versatility and robustness demanded by the food sector in mind:
- Power: 0.18 kW
- Maximum knife diameter: up to 370 mm
- Construction material: AISI-304 stainless steel
- Rotation speed: variable and adjustable according to the blade material
- Sharpening inclination: adjustable with integrated indicator
- Compatibility: SliceFil series circular knives (models 300, 310, 320, 340 and 360)
Differential Capabilities: What Makes the AGS-300 Special?
Double-edged sharpening
The AGS-300 is prepared to work on both sides of the circular knife’s edge, guaranteeing symmetrical and homogeneous sharpening that extends the useful life of the tool and improves the quality of the slice.
Speed and incline regulation
One of the strengths of the circular knife sharpener is its adaptability. The rotation speed is variable and can be adjusted depending on the specific material of each knife. In addition, the sharpening angle is modifiable thanks to an integrated inclination indicator, which allows the operator to configure the equipment precisely according to the needs of each tool. This versatility makes the AGS-300 optimally adapted to the different knife configurations of Finova’s SliceFil slicers.
Automatic post-sharpening cleaning
Once the sharpening process is complete, the system applies water directly to the knife to remove metal particles generated during the process. In a food processing environment, any metal debris that may come into contact with the product poses a serious risk. The AGS-300 systematically eliminates this risk.
A security system designed for the food industry
Safety is, along with hygiene, one of the pillars of the AGS-300 design. The equipment incorporates a multiple protection system that guarantees both the integrity of the operator and that of the production process:
Safety switches with automatic locking. The machine has sensors that automatically block its operation if the grinder door is open during the process.
Detection of unsafe positions. The control system prevents the activation of the equipment if it detects that any component is not in the correct working position, thus avoiding accidents resulting from incorrect configuration.
Manufactured entirely in AISI-304 stainless steel. This material guarantees the resistance and durability of the equipment, and facilitates deep and rigorous cleaning, essential in environments with demanding hygiene regulations.
This set of measures ensures that the AGS-300 complies with the sector’s occupational and food safety regulations.
Why integrate the AGS-300 into your production line?
Keeping knives sharp is not just a matter of performance: it directly impacts the quality of the final product, the energy consumption of the slicing equipment and the safety of the process. A dull knife works with more resistance, generates irregular cuts and can compromise the integrity of the food.
With the AGS-300, FINOVA offers a solution adapted and designed for SliceFil slicers, which closes the maintenance cycle within the same technological ecosystem. Without depending on external services and without unnecessary downtime.
