PRESS SIDE GRANULATORS
     View Press Side product brochure


Our Press Side granulators are available with a wide range of automation components such as: special hoppers for combination robotic and manual feed; conveyor feed; oversize part, etc.; vacuum take-off bin for regrind evacuation and blower evacuation systems of various sizes, complete with unloading bins and cyclone separators. Counter-slanted rotor and bed knives provide a high shear slicing action that achieves clean, uniform granulate at high throughput rates with less noise and fines, lower energy consumption and heat buildup. The rotor diameter of Polymer Press Side Granulators is greater than the feed opening, allowing clear, unobstructed access to the cutting chamber to utilize every inch of the cutting circle. This unique design maximizes granulator capacity and throughput by eliminating bottlenecks at the entrance, and increasing the effective screen area.


We design our hoppers with a unique triple-ply laminate consisting of a thin elastomeric membrane between two sheets of steel. This dramatically reduces noise transmitted through the hopper walls and out the feed opening by dampening the sharp, metallic ringing noise caused by material hitting the inside walls. Double wall designs offer little noise reduction when compared to our triple-ply design. Our standard (SPL) machines operate below 90 dbA with most materials. For even quieter operation, specially enclosed Silenator (SIL) models reduce noise levels to below 80 dbA.
