Granulators play an important role in the plastics industry. Granulators are used to take scrap material and grind it into fine pieces that can then be melted again and made into final product. Large companies will often have large hopper-type Granulators at every molding machine. Reclaiming and recycling scrap is a key part of keeping production costs low due to the rising cost of fossil fuels. This is only a small selection of the many options available. To find the best machine for you, compare features and benefits side-by-side when buying a machine.
The cutting chamber and granulator blades are the heart of any Granulator. It is important to keep all components, including the screens and blades, in top condition. Sharpening your blades will reduce wear on your machine, and allow you to get the best possible recycled product. Knowing what you are cutting or recycling is another key. Are there any additives in the plastic that can increase the abrasion of the blades' edges? This can be determined by changing the blades or checking the blades. You will notice a rounded blade tip. It almost appears to have been ground or sanded. Consider an aftermarket treatment if your blades are showing signs of wear and have rounded edges. You can increase the lifespan of your blades with carbide coatings. Cryogenic treatment, as I mentioned in an earlier article may also be a good option. This will improve the tool steel's impact resistance. A good blade is a sharp blade. Vibration and wear will significantly reduce the machine's life expectancy. You will get many more years of use from your machine if you take care of it. You should establish a partnership with a company that will help you maintain the machine's heart. Look for a company that will maintain your blades according to the original factory specifications. This is equivalent to having a tuned engine. This will allow you to save money on your blades and prolong the life of your investment.
