INTRODUCTION

A significant portion of this preparation can be best performed by

our pressing machine along with a ball mallet or bat mallet. All
new cricket bats must be “knocked in” before they are ready for
use on the field, according to middle peg cricket equipment.
Knocking in a cricket bat properly should take about six hours.
Allow the soft fibre to strike a hard NW cricket ball.
Reduces the risk of the bat snapping.
knocking of bat fills in the gaps between the fibre
Our Cricket Bat Knocking Machines are available in Best &
World-Class quality with very reasonable price.
It reduces time for knocking bat.
It makes the knocking of bat faster.
It makes the knocking of bat accurately in less time.

WORKING OF PROJECT
To knock in a cricket bat, use a bat mallet expressly designed
for this purpose. Knock the bat lightly against the edges of the
bat, using increased force as you work toward the centre until
the edges of the bat are uniformly smooth and round a cricket
ball lightly up and down on the face of the bat.
We are involved in offering high quality cricket bat knocking
machine. All bats are pressed by the manufacturer, knocking
in is must for the survival of your bat .it is the process by
which the fibers of the willow in the face and edges are
compressed together to form a barrier which protects the
against impact of the ball. Effective knocking in will
significantly improve the performance and increase the
lifespan of the bat. We recommend that prepared ready play
and pre knocked in bats need extra preparation and care
before use. A significant portion of this preparation can be
best performed by our machine along with a ball mallet or bat
mallet.

ADVANTAGES

Bat knocking is done automatically.

Bat knocking machine reduces knocking time
compare to manual bat knocking .
Earlier by manual bat knocking equal force on bat
was not implied but by the use of bat knocking
machine equal force is exerted on bat which
results in accurate knocking of bat.
Bat knocking increases the strength of the bat.
DISADVANTAGES

Bat knocking machine need proper

foundation.
In bat knocking machine there are
sometimes chances to be snapping of
bat.
Machine can`t run without electricity.
APPLICATION

Bat knocking machine is used to knock bat accurate with

equal force exerting on the bat.
Bat knocking machine is widely used in BCCI.

CONCLUSION

We conclude that by better utilization of bat knocking

machine brings us too many benefits like reduces knocking
time, accurate knocking, reduces labour work, eliminates
manual knocking.
