Specially developed deflector wedge
Wide choice of rotors
Well-thought-out housing design
Strong welded-steel construction
Oversized outboard bearings
General Description
The P series pipe and profile granulators are available in rotor widths of up to 1400 mm and diameters ranging from 560 to 700 mm. The completely-welded, heavy-steel cutting chamber is angled and fitted with an extended hopper to allow easy feeding of parts. The standard V-cut creates a high-quality regrind with a very low percentage of fines in the output material. Other standard features include a hydraulically-opened hopper for outboard bearings reducing the risk of contamination.
Applications
Conventional granulators have substantial problems handling long pipes and profiles. To feed large and bulky parts in most cases cavities or platforms are needed. Therefore, Virtus Equipment developed the P range. Thanks to the almost level feeding hopper, long pieces can be fed easily. While the machine is operating there is no risk of blocking. In case of congestion, no more material will be accepted by the machine until the grinding chamber is empty, then the machine will accept material again, and work continues.
Heavy-duty Outboard Bearings
The heavy-duty bearings and cutting chamber are separated to prevent material contamination and premature bearing failure.
Rotor Knife
The specially-angled rotor automatically pulls the fed pipes or profiles into the cutting chamber. This design also regulates the amount of material.
Rotor and stator knives are pre-set outside of the machine prior to installation using a supplied fixture. This eliminates awkward internal machine adjustments.
