⚠
WARNING
Always wear cut resistant gloves when working around and inside the cutting chamber.
The granulator knives are wear components, they will become blunt after
processing for a long time. When processing very hard materials or non-plastics
the life span of the knives is drastically reduced.
In this case replacing or adjusting them is necessary to have the optimal efficiency.
To ensure an equal gap between the rotary knives and the stationary knives, it is
important that the cutting edges of all the rotary knives are on the same imaginary
cylindrical cutting face. The easiest way to do this is to;
Step 1)
In the case of a GP20 Hybrid, the GP20 Shredder should be lifted
off GP20 Granulator first in order to gain access to the bolts responsible for
holding the stationary knives in position
Step 2)
The initial position of the left stationary knife is important.
If it is too much to the left, the rotary knives can crash into the filter screen. If
it is too much to the right, the gap between de rotary knives and filter screen
will be too big reducing cutting efficiency. Loosen the two M8 bolts using a
