Auxiliary equipment producer Conair has introduced new NCF Series super-tangential granulators that have smaller footprint dimensions.
According to the company, the cutting chamber configuration of the granulator is suitable for handling lightweight bulky parts such as bottles, but also produces uniform granulate from runners and small parts.
Four different models feature eight-inch diameter rotors in widths of 10, 14, 19 and 24 inches and deliver standard maximum throughputs ranging from 150 to 450lb.
The smallest unit is powered by a 5hp motor and the three larger sizes have 7.5hp motors with options to 15hp. Standard rotor speed for the NCF 810 is 260rpm and standard speed on the larger models is 400rpm.
A tilt-back hopper and drop-down screen cradle provide easy access to the cutting chamber for maintenance and cleaning, contributing to increased productivity and reduced downtime.
The chamber design makes sure that the rotor grips bulky scrap on the downward stroke, drawing it into the knives and preventing it from bouncing on the rotor.
