How the Adapter System covers intermediate sizes

To ensure our sharpeners are as versatile as your product range, almost all of our models are available with integrated adapters. These precision-engineered inserts allow for a seamless diameter reduction, enabling a single sharpener to accommodate a variety of pencil sizes found on the market today.

The key advantage of our system is its effortless functionality: the adapter is easily removable, allowing you to switch between different diameters in seconds. This means you always have multiple sizes at hand, providing the perfect fit for various pencil dimensions within one compact tool.

It ensures that whether you are using a slim liner or a thicker pencil, the barrel is always perfectly centered for a precise sharpening result. It is the ideal solution for brands with a diverse portfolio, offering maximum compatibility and convenience for the end user.

  • Easily removable insert
  • Versatile diameter reduction

All models equipped with or available with an adapter are clearly marked on their spec cards. Read the full Adapter System story.
