Function Description General The granulator is designed for grinding plastic waste to for recycling. H The plastic waste should be free from metal parts and contamination before granulating. The granulator is controlled by start/stop controls on a control A panel. G Standard cutter C F D B E B C Open cutter The plastics waste is feed into the hopper (A) and falls down into the cutter housing, where rotating knives (B) cut the plastics waste against fixed knives (C) to granulate.
models with a conveyor, the hopper is equipped with a conveyor belt. The conveyor can be equipped with a metal detector. After this, the granulate is ready for re-use in the production machine, or to be transported to a container for later use. The granulator is easy to clean, with a folding hopper and also good accessibility for maintenance. Knives on the staggered rotor are disposable and should be replaced when necessary. The rotating knives on an open rotor can be re-sharpened.
Safety System The granulator has a safety system to prevent access to dangerous components during operation. The granulator has knives that rotate at high speed. The granulator is therefore equipped with a safety system to avoid personal injury.The safety system must not be changed or modified under any circumstances. If the safety system of the granulator is changed or Breaking key modified, the machine can be dangerous to use, presenting a serious risk of personal injury.
Star Knob The star knob for the hopper and screen box is a very important component in the safety system of the granulator. It should take such a long time for the knob/screw to be undone, that the cutter has stopped before the granulator can be opened. ✐ NOTE: The length of the screw must never be ✐ changed. NOTE: The screw can not be removed. The screen is hardened and the knob is permanently attached. – To change a star knob, please contact Conair.

Installation Read through the whole of Section 5 before installing the machine! All instructions must be followed in the given order to avoid injury or damage. Be careful with the knives, they are sharp and can cause personal injury. The granulator must only be connected to the mains by a competent electrician. Pre-Start Checks • • The unpainted parts of the machine are protected with oil prior to delivery and transport Clean the granulator from rust protection agent before it is used.
Electrical Connection The granulator should be connected by a competent electrician. • Connect the granulator to the main power supply. The wiring diagram indicates the fuse sizes, see Section 9. • The granulator is delivered with electrical equipment connected for clockwise phase rotation. Check with a phase sequence indicator and connect the granulator with clockwise phase rotation.
Opening of Hopper, Screen Box and Granule Bin Before opening the hopper, granule bin and screen box, switch both the main switch and granulator switch “Off”. Be careful when the knives are accessible. They are sharp and can cause personal injury. A Opening the hopper 1 Check that the hopper is empty, then stop the granulator. 2 Undo the star knobs (A) on the hopper. 3 Undo the tip catch (B).
Closing the Screen Box, Granule Bin and Hopper ✐ NOTE: Before closing, make sure that the mating surfaces are clean! There is a pinch risk during closing, be careful. Close the screen box and install the granule bin 1 Make sure that the screen is correctly 2 3 4 positioned in the screen box. Lift the screen box up and tighten the star knobs properly to stop.

Operation and Daily Maintenance Starting and Stopping The main switch is located beneath the control panel on the front of the granulator. Starting and stopping is controlled by push buttons on the control panel. ✐ NOTE: Never stop the granulator before all material in the hopper and cutter housing is completely granulated. Residual material will clog the rotor in the granulator during re-start. The motor will be overloaded and the overloading protection will trigger.
Inspection There must be no plastic material left in the granulator when inspection is carried out. CAUTION: All servicing must be done by trained personnel in order to avoid personal injury and damage to the machine. Daily Inspection Flaps in the hopper. Check that the flaps are undamaged. Replace damaged flaps at once. Damaged flaps can drop down into the cutter housing and damage the knives. Damaged flaps also entail the risk of material ejection. Emergency stop. Check the emergency stop function.
Cleaning Clean at color change, monthly or at least once/300 hours. Be careful when the hopper have been opened. The knives are now accessible, they are sharp, and can cause personal injury. 1 Check that the hopper is empty, then stop the granulator. Switch “Off” both the main switch and the switch on the granulator. 2 Clean the outside of the hopper. 3 Undo the star knobs on the hopper. 4 ✐ Undo the tip chatch.
Cleaning (continued) ✐ NOTE: Use protective goggles and make sure that no material blows into the safety switches! 16 Clean the granule bin and the screen box. 17 Clean the cutter housing inside and outside. 18 Clean any transport pipes, blower and cyclone. Re-install after cleaning 1 Install the blue screws. 2 Install the screen in the screen box. 3 Lift up the screen box and and tighten the star knobs to stop. 4 Install the granule bin. 5 Install the extraction pipe. Alt.
Fault-Finding The granulator does not start • • • • • 6-6 l Operation and Daily Maintenance Check that the emergency stop is not activated. Reset by turning the button(s) in the direction of the arrow (counterclockwise). Check that the hopper is properly closed. The granulator will not start if the hopper not is properly closed. Tighten the star knobs properly to stop. Check that the screen box is properly closed. The granulator will not start, if the screen A box not is properly closed.
• Granulator with conveyor belt, if the conveyor belt does not start – check the conveyor belt overload circuit breaker. The conveyor belt motor has an overload circuit breaker, F3, in the distribution box, which trips if you jam or overload the conveyor belt. This is indicated in the window (A) which shows “0”. Reset, press the “Reset” button (B). Check that there is no material left on the band before re-starting. • Check the granulator knives and knife tolerance.

Wiring diagram Never change or modify the basic electrical settings of the granulator, without first obtaining permission from Conair. If the granulator settings are changed, the machine can be seriously damaged. All Warranties and Conair’s Product Liability will be void, if the basic settings of the granulator are changed.
Current Sensing Relay The granulator can be equipped with an optional current sensing relay to control the feed equipment. The current sensing relay detects the mill motor current consumption and can temporarily stop accessories such as conveyors, roller feeders etc to avoid putting further material into the hopper, when the mill is running under heavy loading. C T1 Relay functions and normal settings: T1 – T2 – A – B – C – Start delay, prevents the relay from breaking on connection (0.
Connection The current sensing relay is connected in series with the mill motor via a current transformer. The transformer is connected between M and E1/E2/E3 depending on the secondary current. (For transformers with transformation to 1 A, this is connected to E2.) Default setting for this granulator: Granulator motor, rated current: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .= . . . . . . .

Example The granulator is equipped with a current sensing relay to control a conveyor. A motor of 7.5 kW has a rated current of about 15 A. When this star/delta is started, it pulls about 15 A/ i.e. about 9 A per phase. C T1 Relay Setting: • • T2 B The current transformer size is 30/1A. The current transformer is connected to E2 (1 A). In a current transformer with a transformation ratio of 30/1, the limit value B should be set to 30 % or 9 A (30 A = 100 %).

Accessories Ordering Spare Parts Only use original Conair spare parts when replacing machinery components. Orders should be sent to the representative in the country where the machine was purchased. When ordering spare parts, please specify: • Machine type/designation, on the machine´s rating plate. • Serial number, on the machine´s rating plate. • Part number, from this list of spare parts. • Number of components.
Pre-Setting of Rotating Knives, Granulator with Open Cutter Knives can only be pre-set on granulators with open cutter. The knives are pre-set on a jig.
