Method of Operation
The rubber bales are fed by
hand or via a conveyor belt into the PALLMANN Ultra-GranulatorTM,
Series C through a patented infeed chute
with shuttle flaps that guarantees a guided material
feeding and a dosed material intake.
The
material is the granulated to the desired size by means
of the specially designed guillotine rotor; the open
design, without a traversing shaft and with a high
momentum flywheel, allow a low friction and therefore
temperature gentle size reduction.
The particle size is
determined by the screen mesh size installed in
the knife mill. A pneumatic aspiration system is
installed downstream from the rubber granulator in order
to discharge the heat produced during the granulating
process and also to transport the granules.
The machine is
easily accessible for quick and thorough
cleaning as well as for knife exchange as the
upper part of the housing can be hydraulically
swung open. Low downtime is guaranteed as
the rotor and the stator knives are
adjustable outside of the machine and the screen
is easily exchangeable.
Material transport
can be performed mechanically or pneumatically. |
