2-2 General Description
This granulator is a rugged, rotary-cutting machine specifically designed to cut, chip, and
granulate the toughest plastic materials with a minimum expenditure of horsepower.
A massively built, low RPM, high inertia rotor with chevron knives accepts large parts with
ease and assures long, trouble-free service. The bed knife block is made of heavy steel, and
the cutting chamber is made of a thick steel plate with integral oversize bearing housings.
The hopper is designed to tilt back, and the screen cradle to swing down for quick access into
the cutting chamber.
Reclamation of sprues, runners, and small parts for inclusion and application in any type of
molding or extrusion equipment is designed-in capability and depending on screen size used,
this machine will provide pellets or chips to meet most requirements.
With no enclosures, this granulator sets the industry standard for noise reduction with 85
DBA or less in almost all applications.
