Circular knives require the use of a low viscosity lubricant to prevent cardboard dust from sticking to the knives and accelerating wear.

AXES OF THE CIRCULAR KNIVES
Cardboard dust deposits on the knife shafts make movement difficult. The use of IKV-FLUOR 32 SPRAY low viscosity fluid on the shafts greatly reduces dust build-up and ensures that the knives move more smoothly.
