Shredder, granulator and shear: choosing the cutting stage
The three machines reduce material, but fulfill different functions within an industrial line.
Hardfacing knife holders: assess the part before repair
What to check on a worn blade holder before deciding between hardfacing, machining or replacement.
HRC hardness and toughness: interpreting an industrial knife specification
Hardness is a useful piece of information, but it must be evaluated together with the steel, the type of wear and the cutting conditions.
Heat treatment of industrial knives: checks for each batch
Hardening, tempering and dimensional control: what information should be reviewed when purchasing or manufacturing industrial blades.
Industrial blade wear: distinguishing abrasion, chipping and plastic deformation
Industrial blade wear does not always call for higher hardness. Learn to distinguish abrasion, edge chipping and plastic deformation before selecting a replacement.
ZERMA GSH: demanding granulation and choice of blades
In industrial granulation, the rotor and blades must correspond to the size and behavior of the material. ZERMA’s GSH range allows you to analyze a construction intended for demanding jobs without converting a catalog description into a guarantee for any residue.
WEIMA: adapt rotor and blades to plastic waste
Selecting blades for a plastic shredder should begin with the waste and the installed rotor. Film, fibers and rigid pieces arrive at the cutting area in different ways, even when they belong to the same polymer.
Vecoplan HiTorc: direct drive and consumption evaluation
The consumption of a disposal does not depend only on its blades. Drive, feeding and output of the material are part of the evaluation. HiTorc is a direct drive technology from Vecoplan that must be analyzed with comparable measurements.
UNTHA XR-C and XR-XC: Compare cutting based on waste stream
Comparing cutting systems from the same family of shredders requires identifying the waste and prior preparation. UNTHA XR-C and XR-XC configurations must be evaluated against the requirements of each flow and with specific documentation.
Plastic pipes and profiles: choosing the right reduction
Plastic pipes and profiles may require sizing before entering a mill.
