1-2 General Description
Sterling granulators are designed to uniformly and
consistently size reduce your scrap. They have been
engineered to consistently deliver clean granulate with a
minimum of “fines”.
The rotor, on which the cutting knives are mounted, is a
fabricated steel unit supported by bearings mounted outside
the cutting chamber. A motor drives the rotor, which is
capable of producing high torque loads. The granulator is
equipped with a magnetic starter that is protected by
manually resettable overload heaters. The slanted rotor
knives produce a scissors cutting action which reduce the
possibility of feedstock jamming in the cutting chamber.
Motors are individually fused for maximum protection in
compliance with the National Electric Code.
The control enclosure houses all of the necessary wiring,
fuses, overload heaters, motor starter coils, along with the
115V control transformer and granulator operating controls.
The control enclosure is built to meet NEC, JIC (M.T.), and
ANSI-B regulations.
