2-1 Models Covered and General Description
The models covered in this operational manual include, from the 800 Series Beside-the-
Press Granulators, GP810, GP814, and GP818. This family of granulators has been
designed to granulate plastic material such as sprues, runners, and small reject parts.
The granulator is comprised of an in-feed hopper into which the material to be granulated
is fed, mounted on a cutting chamber in which a series of rotary and bed knives reduce the
material to granules, the size of which is determined by the screen holes. The granules fall
and collect in the bin below. The operation of the granulator is controlled by a control
panel and powered by an electric motor.
