In dehulling and delinting operations, the quality of the Linter Saw Blanks and Gummer Files determines production performance and downtime every day. Inaccurately manufactured or worn parts interrupt the continuous process, reduce yield, and increase wear on the entire machine.
Precision-manufactured Linter Saw Blanks and Gummer Files of the highest quality for maximum service life.
Stockholdings on four continents enable fast and reliable delivery directly to your plant.
Suitable for all common machine types in standard dimensions and, upon request, in custom dimensions.
The quality of the delinting process depends entirely on the Linter Saw Blanks. Even minor deviations in thickness, parallelism, or hardness lead to uneven cuts, increased machine wear, and inferior fiber quality. This not only costs money through more frequent maintenance but also jeopardizes the quality of the final product.
KEK Linter Saw Blanks are manufactured with the highest production accuracy, featuring precisely tested parallelism, uniform hardness, and precise thickness across the entire length. The Linter Saw Blanks are available in standard sizes of 12 5/8″ and 18″ with thicknesses of 0.035″ and 0.045″, in all standard widths, as well as in custom dimensions upon request.
In addition to Linter Saw Blanks, the quality of the Gummer Files is crucial for clean resharpening and thus for the service life of the entire set.

What is the difference between dehulling and delinting?
Dehulling refers to the hulling of oilseeds, which is the removal of the outer shell before further processing. Delinting is a specific process in cottonseed processing where the remaining Linter fibers are removed from the cottonseed before the seed is further processed in the oil mill. KEK supplies precision-manufactured Spare Parts and accessories for both processes.
For which huller systems does KEK supply parts?
KEK supplies Huller Bars for Carver and Impco systems as well as the complete Chandler Huller System. All parts are characterized by maximum wear resistance, perfect hardness, and easy assembly. Custom-made products according to your specific requirements are available upon request. Please contact us; we will clarify availability and compatibility directly with you.
Does KEK supply only individual parts or also complete rib sets?
KEK supplies both. Linter Ribs are available as individual parts in all dimensions and designs, including intermediate sizes and left-hand or right-hand versions. Furthermore, we offer Grate Fall Units as complete Linter Rib sets with the KEK fit guarantee for all dimensions and designs. This allows you to decide flexibly whether you need individual parts or complete sets.
