The 18 Series Granulator granulator models have safety switches of the position
switch type:
The safety switches cut the control current in the granulator, so that the granulator
stops if the cutter house door, hopper or granule bin changes position.
This granulator has 2 safety switches:
1 Safety switch with a breaking key at the hopper,
located between the hopper and the cutter housing.
The safety switch is integrated with the lock to the
cutter house door. The safety switch senses that the
cutter house door is closed and that the hopper seals tightly against the cutter
housing. If the hopper or the cutter house door
changes position, the granulator stops.
1 Safety switch with magnetic control to the granule
bin. The safety switch to the granule bin sense when
the granule bin is installed. The granulator cannot be started
unless the granule bin is installed.
The granulator can be equipped with additional safety features
depending on optional equipments.
Accordingly, check the electric circuit diagram for your granulator,
to see, how many safety switches just your granulator is equipped
with.
