Product Description

Our PE film washing line uses a wet plastic granulator to cut large pieces of PP / PE film into small, uniform shreds sized between 12-18mm. Our plastic granulator has the unique ability to cut plastic film quickly and efficiently using a fast-spinning open rotor mounted with heavy-duty knives in a double-scissor cut array. As the plastic film enters the granulator’s cutting chamber, the rotor knives come into contact with stationary knives, effectively cutting the film in a continuous fashion.

The size of the PE film shreds is controlled by a screen filter with holes mounted underneath the cutting chamber. The plastic film is held within the cutting chamber until it reaches the desired size and falls through this screen filter. Typically, our standard screen filter hole size is 15mm.

To improve reliability and resistance to dulling in the most demanding situations, all knives used in our granulator are made from high quality D2 high-carbon, high-chromium steel (equivalent to SKD11 steel). For the sake of usability, all 12 rotor knives and 3 stationary knives can be easily adjusted with hydraulically assisted access to the cutting chamber.

To further benefit from our already robust structural design, our PE film washing lines use a wet granulation process where water is sprayed into the cutting chamber via nozzles. This not only partially cleans the PP/PE films, it also adds a layer of lubrication to reduce friction and heat during long operations. Knife maintenance intervals depend on the material, contaminants and operating conditions.
