RETEKIndustrial knives & wear parts · Made in Czechia
Precision-engineered knives, wear parts and rotor services for demanding recycling and material-processing operations.
What we solve
The right wear part is not a commodity. Geometry, steel, heat treatment and exact fit influence output, energy use, cutting quality and maintenance time.
Explore our engineering approach →Knives, counter knives, crown cutters, holders, screens and fasteners for demanding size-reduction lines.
Wear parts for high throughput, difficult feedstock and predictable maintenance intervals in alternative-fuel preparation.
Granulator and pelletizer knives for clean, repeatable cutting of post-industrial and post-consumer plastics.
Technical assessment and overhaul of worn or damaged rotors to extend service life and avoid premature replacement.
Knife systems and related components for primary and secondary wood processing, from chipping to planing.
Wear parts for pellet mills and biomass preparation, supported by the broader PILANA Group product programme.
Replacement parts for leading machine platforms
Application expertise
We look at the complete application: processed material, rotor geometry, cutting gap, wear pattern and required output. That context helps us recommend the right part and specification instead of a one-size-fits-all answer.

Knives and counter knives for single- and multi-shaft shredders.

Complete assemblies, compatible parts and refurbishment support.

Precision edges for consistent particle size and repeatable output.
PILANA RETEK
Precision inspection · Hulín, CzechiaEngineering confidence
We combine application knowledge with controlled manufacturing to deliver repeatable geometry, mechanical properties and fit — from the first piece to every repeat order.
From requirement to repeat supply
Share the machine, OEM number, drawing or a worn sample.
We verify geometry, material, hardness and operating conditions.
The approved specification moves through controlled production.
Final inspection, protected packaging and worldwide dispatch.
Industrial heritage, modern focus
Our roots reach back to the first PILANA tool works. Today, accumulated manufacturing experience is focused on one objective: keeping modern recycling and processing equipment productive.


Global supply
More than 95% of production travels abroad. Our export team prepares protected shipments for customers in over 80 countries and supports planned stock as well as urgent maintenance requirements.
Product finderUseful answers
Ideally the machine manufacturer and model, part number, required quantity and a drawing or clear photographs. Information about processed material and current wear behaviour helps us recommend the right specification.
Yes. Depending on the application, we can identify an existing catalogue part, work from machine information or reverse-engineer a worn sample.
Yes. Custom production is available for technically and commercially suitable requirements, from individual assessment through repeat series supply.
Yes. Send photographs showing the complete rotor and damaged areas. Our technical team will assess whether refurbishment is feasible and request any additional measurements.
