  • Descrição: For injection molders, extruders and blow molders, material is one of the biggest costs of doing business. Getting the best regrind for your buck means maximizing every aspect of your equipment. Shredders are capable of processing a large variety of materials to a multitude of fraction sizes and throughput rates. But the reality is often plagued with problems, the most common of which is running the shredder too fast, thereby turning the slower-operating granulator into a bottleneck. Another common problem with shredders is underfeeding them. A better way to maximize throughput is to maximize the bulk density on the floor of the machine, which is where the cutting takes place. Also, remember to feed material across the full width of the shredder. And don't forget to readjust the bedknives after the first day of running new or resharpened knives. As with tying shredders and granulators together, make sure the different parts of the granulator are working in synch.
