With Granulators there are plenty of things you need to know, even with just the screens. For those who don’t know: a Granulator is a machine which prepares old material for the new. The process of Granulating consists of grinding down and melting scrap material so it can be reprocessed.
Granulator Screens and Shredder Screens play a huge role in the performance of the machine. Whilst there are many different models from different brands, GM Diagnostics can make this easier. This is due to how our team can provide a screen specifically designed with your machine in mind.
Today’s blog will be a quick guide to understanding Granulators and Shredder Screens. This machinery is ideal for the recycling of materials, such as wood, plastics, and green waste. And GM Diagnostics will explain exactly why – which is highly useful for industries such as mining or agricultural industry.
Choosing your Granulator
Most companies investing in these machines aim to be as environmentally sustainable as possible. Investing in a machine for each material is a cost-effective long-term investment that also prevents cross-contamination of materials. Each different type of Granulator has different advantages and disadvantages, so which type is most suitable for you?
The most popular of the four are reverse-wet granulators. This process grinds water-soluble particles by breaking down wet granules to remove the excess particles from the material.
Foam Granulators will use liquid binding to resolve inconsistencies in material and rejuvenate its coating.
Rapid Mixer Granulators rely on the mixer, in order to improve the compression of liquids for a consistent mix.
And finally, a Freeze Granulator freezes particles to control their density and removes waste too.
The Importance of Granulator Screens and Shredder Screens
Shredder Screens are most commonly made of mild steel, due to being such a durable material. Also known as turbo drier screens, these are very much the option for dealing with plastics. Even the material the machinery is made of is ideal for recycling.
However, for weaker materials, a stainless-steel shredder screen is recommended. These industrial screens have the same recycling parts in mind. Lasting a long time and getting the job done with as little materials as possible.
Nevertheless, it isn’t all just about the Industrial Screens; the blades play a huge role in the machine’s performance. A blunt blade isn’t going to get you far; it definitely is not ideal for the process of recycling. Our team can sharpen the blade and ensure that overall, your machine is up to scratch. A perfect fit for many companies.
