Multiple-Knife Granulators SMF series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The HERBOLD Fine Granulators of the SMF 500/1000 series are high-speed machines designed for fine grinding of various materials. They feature a high cutting sequence, open rotor design, and pneumatic material discharge, ensuring high throughput and efficiency.
Specifications: The granulators have a rotor diameter of 500 mm and a working width of 1000 mm. They utilize a double cross-cut system with 16 rows of rotor knives and 12 rows of stator knives, achieving up to 200,000 cuts per minute. The drive power ranges from 45 to 90 kW, with a throughput capacity of 50 to 2000 kg/h, depending on material and fineness.
Design and Features: The machines are constructed with welded steel and ductile iron components, providing durability for heavy-duty applications. The open rotor design prevents air barrier effects, allowing efficient cooling and high-quality powder production. Water cooling options are available to manage heat during processing.
Applications: Suitable for materials requiring fine reduction, such as cellulose, plastic chips, fibers, foam, rubber, and films. The granulators are ideal for applications demanding precise particle size distribution, minimal temperature increase, and high bulk density.
Advantages: The SMF series offers a closely defined particle size distribution, minimal temperature increases, and smooth cut surfaces. The machines are compact, sturdy, and provide a long service life due to the use of special steels.
Accessories and Options: Available accessories include metal separators, noise protection devices, suction units, and filtration devices. Custom-made systems and preliminary coarse reduction units are also offered.
Technical Support: HERBOLD provides a test center for practice-oriented trials and offers a wide range of products for size reduction and recycling.
Contact Information: HERBOLD Meckesheim GmbH is based in Germany, with a US subsidiary in Rhode Island. Contact details for both locations are provided for further inquiries.
