The quality of the pellets depends on several stages of the process. MAAG describes M²-USG within its strand pelletizing systems, with monitoring functions and a cutting head design that should be studied according to the application.
The evolution of crushers combines changes in drive, rotor and maintenance. In its communication for IFAT Munich 2026, Lindner presents Micromat Series IV and a cutting configuration that deserves to be analyzed according to the waste of each installation.
Cutting clearance influences how an industrial blade works against its bedknife. Adjusting it requires knowing the model, geometry and manufacturer’s procedure: a figure taken from another mill can cause contact between tools or inefficient reduction.
Herbold SMS granulators: external adjustment of rotor and stator knives, preparation of replacement knife sets and maintenance planning.
Plastic recycling innovations also affect filtration after size reduction. EREMA announced the Laserfilter LF 812 in October 2025. For a plant, the news is useful when it relates to contamination, melt quality and maintenance.
Which blades and wear parts are involved in crushing, granulating, washing, drying, compacting and pelletizing plastic.
Functions and wear of rotor blades, stator, blade holder and hardware in single-shaft shredders for recycling.
Serrated packaging knives must repeatably cut material that can vary in thickness, structure and behavior.
Irregular chaff can indicate a problem in cutting, but also changes in feeding, cooling or state of the polymer. Before replacing pelletizer blades, it is advisable to record the defect and relate it to the production conditions.
Scrap shear blades must cut materials of varying geometry and thickness.
