Page 5: Machine Description And Specifications
MACHINE DESCRIPTION: This machine is a knife granulator specially designed for thermoplastic materials. The thermoplastic material to be granulated enters the infeed hopper and falls into the cutting chamber where the blades cut the material between the rotating and fixed knives. The cut material then drops into the discharge hopper. Granulated material size depends exclusively on the screen hole size and not on blade design or quantity. -
Page 6: Pre-Installation
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK: Insure the proper electrical voltage supply is provided. Refer to the serial tag on the granulator. With electrical power off and locked out, open the machine completely. Visually inspect the hopper and screen cradle for any foreign objects. Close machine completely. -
Page 7: Electrical Installation
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION: Upon receiving the equipment, verify that the voltage supply corresponds to the data plate as specified for the granulator. We recommend installing a disconnect between the power supply and the granulator starter in order to energize the equipment and to protect the electrical system. Always disconnect the electrical supply before cleaning the machine, performing maintenance or adjusting blades. -
Page 8: First Time Operation
FIRST TIME OPERATION: Before operating the granulator it is necessary to perform a careful inspection, checking that there are no materials inside the cutting chamber, especially metallic parts or debris that might have fallen into it during transportation. After verifying this, spin the rotor manually using the pulley or flywheel as an aid, to check for free spinning. Verify blade adjustment. -
Page 9: Maintenance
GRANULATOR OPERATION: Conair recommends running the granulator for the first time, with low quality material and giving it two or three passes through the granulator, so that the internal walls of the machine can be cleaned from quantities of rust inhibitor grease or dust. - Page 10 SCREEN INSTALLATION: Remove all regrind and foreign material from the screen, cradle and its mating surfaces. In order for the screen to hold firmly in place, the cradle must close without interference. NOTE: This is a non- reversible type screen. Screen part number stamp on the edge should face the front in the screen cradle.

Page 11: Blade / Knife Sharpening
Remove and sharpen blades after checking the condition (if necessary). If metal fragments have accidently fallen into the granulator and chipped the cutting edges Conair advises blades be replaced as sharpening will not remove traces of the chipping. The sharpening angles are given on the next page. -
Page 12: Blade / Knife Replacement
BLADE / KNIFE REPLACEMENT: Disconnect and lock out power per standard procedures. Open sound enclosure doors, if applicable. Remove sound panels from the rear of the machine, if applicable. Open rear cutting chamber door. Make sure the hopper hold down bolts are loosened, swung free from the hopper frame first. Open hopper using the powered actuator. -
Page 13: Stationary Knife Adjustment
STATIONARY KNIFE ADJUSTMENT: Using a 0.006 up to a 0.010 feeler gauge at the cutting edge of a bed knife, turn the rotor in reverse, by hand, and turn the set screws until there is a snug fit with the feeler gauge between the cutting edge of the highest rotor knife tip and the bed knife. -
