Panchal plastic machinery manufactures and offers pipe grinders and granulators that are designed for most extreme and universal applications required for plastic recycling facilities. The completely welded heavy steel manufactured construction is designed to withstand the most demanding and universal applications due to the removable deflector wedge [third] stator knife]. Rotor bearings, knife mounts and rotor shaft are oversized to cope with extreme feed stock. Depending on the required application these variants which are all built with the unique v-cut technology. The machines are economical, reliable, easy-to-clean and have an extremely long service life. A wide range of necessary ancillaries are available, such as material transport systems, conveyor belts, metals separators, roller feeders etc. The rotor knives are mounted according to the latest v-cut technology. Contrary to the older cross cut action, the v-cut action conveys material to the center of the rotor thus avoiding sticking and wears at the side walls. A removable adaptor carrying a third stator knife, termed the deflector wedge, can be installed to alter the first cutting point of the granulator as required. The housing design is divided and the upper part can be opened hydraulically.
