2-2 General Description
The granulator is comprised of an infeed 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.
The hopper is designed to tilt back, and the screen cradle to swing down for quick access into
the cutting chamber.
These compact, easily movable, soundproofed, low-speed granulators are designed for
beside-the-press granulation, engineered for hand feed, robot feed, or conveyor feed. The
1000 Series granulators are ideal for reject components from injection, blow molding. And
extrusion processes.
