Plastic Machinery: Granulator Machine for Size Reduction of Plastic

Size reduction of thin films (BOPP/BOPET etc.), heat sensitive materials, tapes, big-bags etc.

Applications:

Neue Herbold SMV series granulators are specially designed for all universal types of applications. Through simple modification the SMV series granulators can be used for massive start-up lumps and purgings, massive profiles and general plastic scrap with extremely wall thicknesses. Also size reduction of voluminous hollow parts such as containers and crates. The SMV series is designed for versatile use and considered a all round granulator for today's recycler.

Design:

SMV series granulators are designed with rotor and stator knives that are counter angled to each other producing a true scissors type cutting action. This design results in a cleaner more uniform granulate and reduced heat build up in the granulate. Double angle cut also reduces noise emissions and energy consumption.
All knives are straight sharpening and require no special knife sharpening fixture. All cutting knives are pre-adjusted to the proper size gap outside the granulator with the use of the knife setting fixture which creates a constant gap between rotor blade circumference and screen resulting in reduced friction and therefore less thermal stress of the material. Knife changes can be accomplished 60% quicker and safer then adjusting knives within the granulator.
The bearings of the rotor shaft are mounted within solid steel housings (not castings) which offer more reliable service and eliminate any chance for the housings to crack or break under heavy shock loads. As opposed to flanged mounted bearings, outboard mounting prevents dust/fines from fouling the bearing nor grease from contaminating the granulate. Outboard mounting provides for a quieter and cooler operation. Improved rotor designs eliminate any chance for the rotor knives to lift or loosen during heavy shock loads.
The knife bolts attach to a removable and replaceable threaded clamp. The rotor flights nor the knife carrier are threaded preventing unnecessary drilling and tapping to repair stripped threads. The totally welded housing can also be equipped with replaceable wear plates when operating with high impact or abrasive material.

Advantages:

1. Universal application usage.
2. Reduced space requirement due to compact design.
3. Energy-saving size reduction.
4. Low noise level due to double-cross cutting knife configuration.
5. Easy cleaning due to “clam shell opening characteristics.
6. Higher through put rates.
7. Reduced down time for rotor and stator knife replacement due to pre-adjusted knives.
