Carometec, a leader in manufacturing sanitation equipment, which assists small to large food plants in meeting quality-assurance standards around the world, recently introduced a new industrial knife cleaning machine. Safety gloves can also be hygienically cleaned in this machine, as an added bonus. In keeping with its commitment of manufacturing only the highest-quality sanitation equipment on the market, Carometec offers this new state-of-the-art sanitation device that not only provides extreme cleaning techniques, but saves plant owners money.
A pilgrim-step process is used inside this innovative industrial knife cleaning machine in which a series of repeating water jets clean and sanitize knives that are held in place by secure knife holders.In the field evaluating a Capello header A special system of rotating nozzles ensures the highest level of commercial cleaning while also preventing food borne illnesses.
Because rotating nozzles are employed within this machine, tough-to-reach locations, such as knife shafts, or particularly dirty safety gloves, can receive a thorough cleaning and sanitization. Laterally-arranged power spray rotors, along with extremely powerful nozzles, target problem areas on knives and safety gloves. The result is the finest in industrial cleaning in a minimum of time, which involves savings to the food plant customer.
This long lasting and ruggedly-built machinery was engineered not only to give customers a long life with a minimum of maintenance, but also a completely automated and contemporary industrial knife cleaning experience. Skilled workers using the knives and safety gloves aren’t involved with their cleaning, thereby saving valuable time spent on the plant’s production. Ultimately, the food plant’s financial bottom line receives a boost with more efficient food plant operations.
“Carometec and ITEC are known for their high quality industrial sanitation equipment and now we have added our Cleaning and Sterilizing Machine for Knives and Safety Gloves,” said Jeb Supple of Carometec. “We are very excited about this new product.”

In the field evaluating a Capello header
I looked at all the headers out there,” said Kellen Huber, owner of Tri Star Farm Services in Emerald Park, Saskatchewan. “I decided this one is best suited for our conditions.” He made those comments on the edge of a field as his dealership was demonstrating the Capello corn header in a test plot near Regina.
When looking to add a line of corn headers to his short-line dealership, Huber says he took a close look at what was available from all the aftermarket header manufacturers selling into the North American market. After investigating the options, Huber Believes the Italian brand, Capello, offers a blend of features that makes it ideally suited to growing conditions in Western Canada.
One of the most notable of those is the way the Capello header cuts stalks. The mower-style rotating knives under the table are mounted farther forward than those on other brands that offer cutters — and not all do. This knife position ensures the stalks have already been fed into the paired knife rollers on the header but are still standing up straight when cut, which helps minimize shelling.
“That’s better for the short corn stalks we have up here,” explains Huber. “It cuts them before the stalks get pushed forward. It’s a patented design.”
With shorter stalks, the ears hang lower to the ground than on taller stands common to areas with longer growing seasons. If a header pushes shorter plants forward before cutting them, some ears could go under the table, increasing harvesting losses. The rotating knives also create a more consistent stubble height.
To help prevent damage, each row unit on the header is protected by a slip clutch, which will allow that section to stop independently of the others without damaging the main drive components. On each side of the unit are totally enclosed chain drives, which keeps them lubricated and protected from the elements to increase component life. Headers larger than 12 rows get sealed gear boxes instead of chain drives.

Paul Henicke doesn’t have time for knives that just hang on the wall and look good.
“I know a lot of knife makers who make these really fancy knives, knives that cost $1,300, $5,000 — even more,” Henicke said. “But those knives just sit on a shelf. I only want to make knives that people can use.
“That’s the thing about building a knife,” he added. “You’ve got to be able to pick it up and feel like you’ve got some control of it. You’ve got to be able to work with it, or else, what use is it?”
Henicke, who moved to Cleburne with his wife, Marie, when they retired, said he has been creating custom, handmade knives for years. He started after he left the Army and went to work in a machine shop.
“When you’re a machinist, somebody comes in to the shop with a drawing and says, ‘Make this right here.’ If you can’t do it, if you can’t look at that drawing and know how to make what they have drawn there, then you’re not a machinist,” Henicke said. “But if you can look at that drawing, if you can see it in your head and make it with your hands, then you can make whatever you want.”
And what Henicke wants to make is the kind of knives “that the everyday kind of person wants and uses.”
Henicke said he worked in the machine shop for about three years, learning the machinist trade. Then he worked for Bell Helicopter for about 15 years — although not all in one stretch.
“I got laid off from Bell twice,” he said. After the second lay-off, he turned his attention elsewhere, opening his own gasoline delivery company “back when the oil and gas industry was booming.”
“Looking back now, I can’t say we didn’t do pretty good for ourselves for awhile,” Henicke said. “But it’s not the same anymore. The big players have put all the small companies like ours out of business. There’s no way a mom-and-pop operation like ours was could make it now. We got out just in time.”
