The high-alloy steel rotor carries the rotor knives. High strength
alloy steel screws are used for attachment of all knives to the rotor.
2-3-3 Drive System
The drive system consists of a drip-proof 1200 RPM motor set on
an adjustable sliding base that is mounted at the left end of the
granulator. The motor drives the rotor directly and the feed rolls
are driven through a gearbox for assured RPM control. A belt
guard shields the motor drive sheave, feed roll reductor, rotor
sheave and belts. Another guard at the opposite end shields the
feed roll sprockets and other mechanisms for complete operator
safety.
2-3-4 Discharge System
The granulated material that falls through the screen is collected in
a transitional section located at the bottom of the granulator and
directed through the base area to the right side of the granulator for
use with an airveyor system.
The transition section is connected to a blower (airveyor system),
which conveys the granulated material (through ducting) to the
cyclone separator. The cyclone separator allows the granulated
material to drop out of the air stream into a bin or container.
2-3-5 Base
The base is caster-mounted, with four swivel (two locking) casters
for easy positioning.
