Stator Knives for Shredders and Granulators – Precise Cutting Performance for Maximum Efficiency
Stator Knives – Indispensable Wear Parts in Recycling Technology
Stator knives are essential wear parts in shredders, granulators, and other industrial comminution plants. Together with the rotor knives, they form the cutting system that reliably and efficiently shreds a wide variety of materials. The quality and precision of the stator knives have a direct influence on the cutting performance, energy consumption, material quality, and the overall economic efficiency of the entire plant.
MSV GmbH is your reliable partner for high-quality stator knives that impress with precise manufacturing, durable materials, and the highest fitting accuracy. We supply spare parts for numerous machine manufacturers and develop individual solutions according to drawings or samples.
What are Stator Knives?
Stator knives are stationary cutting blades that are mounted in the housing of a shredder or granulator. Unlike the rotating rotor knives, they do not move during operation. Their task is to form a precise cutting edge against which the material gripped by the rotor is cut.
The interaction between the rotor and stator knives creates the so-called shear cut. Only when both components are precisely coordinated and the cutting gap is correctly set does a clean, energy-efficient, and material-friendly shredding process occur.
What tasks do Stator Knives perform?
Stator knives fulfill several important functions within a shredding plant:
- Formation of the fixed cutting edge for the shear cut
- Precise shredding of a wide variety of materials
- Uniform particle size of the final material
- Support of a constant material throughput
- Reduction of energy consumption through optimal cutting conditions
- Reduction of wear on rotor knives and other machine components
Only sharp and precisely manufactured stator knives ensure consistently high cutting quality and economical plant operation.
Areas of application for Stator Knives
Stator knives are used in numerous applications in recycling and processing technology. Among other things, they are suitable for processing:
- Plastics
- Used tires
- Wood
- Cables
- Scrap metal
- Electronic scrap
- Paper and cardboard
- Composite materials
Depending on the material and plant concept, the shape, cutting edge geometry, and material of the stator knives differ. Optimal matching to the respective area of application ensures maximum performance and long service life.
High-quality materials for long service life
Stator knives are exposed to high mechanical and abrasive loads in daily operation. Therefore, MSV GmbH offers its stator knives made of high-quality tool steels that are specially designed for use in the recycling industry.
Through precise heat treatments and modern manufacturing processes, our knives achieve:
- high wear resistance
- excellent cutting performance
- long service life
- high dimensional accuracy

- low maintenance costs
Custom-fit stator knives for numerous machine manufacturers
MSV GmbH supplies stator knives for a variety of shredders, granulators, and recycling plants from renowned manufacturers. Thanks to our in-house CAD department, we can offer both according to original drawings and according to customer drawings or based on a sample.
Our precisely manufactured spare parts offer an optimal fit and enable quick installation. This reduces downtime and ensures reliable operation of your plant.
Why high-quality stator knives are crucial
Worn or damaged stator knives impair the performance of any shredding plant. Typical consequences include:
- increasing energy consumption
- uneven shredding
- lower quality of the final material
- increased wear of the rotor knives
- more frequent maintenance intervals
- unplanned machine downtimes
The timely replacement of high-quality stator knives significantly contributes to increasing the productivity of your plant and sustainably reducing operating costs.
