A Series — Slow Speed Plastics Granulators

The A 18 slow-speed granulators feature a staggered 180 mm diameter rotor in widths from 180 to 430 mm; the A 30 series has a 300 mm diameter rotor in widths from 400 to 800 mm. A geared motor directly drives the rotor. Its low speed reduces the granulator’s noise level and creates less dust while grinding. The A-series’ specially-designed knives can be sharpened easily and don’t require adjustment afterward.

Depending on the application, the A-series granulators can be fitted with a wide variety of sound-absorbing feed hoppers and base frames and a built-in blower system with matching suction bins or bag-filling adapters allowing integration with most types of injection molding machines and robots.

The A 18 and A 30 slow-speed granulators are mainly used as beside-the-press machines to grind runners and sprues in injection and blow molding processes. The resulting granules are then immediately reintroduced into the production process. The machines can be used for rejected products in the in-line recycling process as well.

The A 30 series’ stronger design allows it to be used for stronger and thicker materials while offering the same advantages of low noise and dust as the smaller A 18 series. They can also be used as low-noise central granulators for small throughput requirements as well.
