Rapeseed knife

The extensive range of cutterbars for special applications manufactured by ESM also includes high-quality rapeseed knives. As a traditional manufacturer and developer of oscillating cutterbars, ESM is represented here, as in all areas of professional mowing, cutting and harvesting, and offers outstanding cutterbars for professional rapeseed harvesting.

The rapeseed knife in the harvesting process

As in all areas of commercial agriculture, the technical development in rapeseed harvesting is moving towards ever greater specialisation of implements to meet the specific requirements of the mowing and harvesting process. Ever higher demands are also being placed on the quality of the products used. Accordingly, special ESM rapeseed knives are also used in rapeseed harvesting, whose cutting performance is optimally adapted to the growth, harvesting process and structure of the crop. The harvesting of rapeseed is associated with special requirements, as the rapeseed plants are particularly densely intertwined. In addition to the horizontal mower knives, special vertically mounted rapeseed cutters with ESM rapeseed knives are therefore used for harvesting rapeseed. When designing these rapeseed knives, which are produced to a professional standard by Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik, specific aspects must be taken into account. Firstly, as with all cutting units used in commercial agriculture, particularly high demands are placed on the quality and reliability of the components. Rapeseed knives from ESM fulfil these quality standards by using only high-quality components and materials.
