How It Works

High-speed shear cutting for precise particle sizing.

1

Material Feeding

Rigid plastics are fed via conveyor or cyclone into the cutting chamber. A hopper curtain prevents flyback.

2

High-Speed Cutting

The open rotor spins at 450-600 RPM. Angled knives shear material against fixed bed knives with a scissor-like action.

3

Screen Sizing

Material circulates until it is small enough to pass through the screen (typically 8-12 mm), ensuring defined flake size.

4

Extraction

Sized flakes are pneumatically extracted or washed out (wet crusher) to preventing overheating and dust buildup.

Key Benefits

Uniform Flake Quality

Scissor-cut geometry and precise screen sizing deliver dust-free, consistent granules.

High Throughput

Open rotor design maximizes airflow and cooling, allowing sustained high-capacity operation.

Easy Maintenance

Hydraulic hopper opening and screen cradle access make knife changing and cleaning rapid.

Problem-Solution Fit

Problem

Excessive fines and dust reduce material value.

Rumtoo Solution

Optimized cutting angles and low rotor-to-knife gap minimize dust generation during crushing.

Problem

Machine overheating melts plastic, blocking screens.

Rumtoo Solution

Open rotor design and optional water-flush system keep the chamber cool during continuous runs.

Problem

Vibration and noise levels are too high.

Rumtoo Solution

Heavy-duty welded frame and optional soundproof enclosure reduce operational noise significantly.

Problem

Blade wear requires frequent downtime.

Rumtoo Solution

Knives are made from D2/SKD11 tool steel and can be resharpened multiple times.

  • Supports stable handoff to downstream processing units
  • Keeps service access practical around major wear parts
  • Fits continuous conveyor-fed operation

Material View: Prepared Output Condition

A consistent and manageable output condition improves control in washing, drying, and pelletizing workflows after this stage.

  • More predictable downstream throughput
  • Better handling and conveying consistency
  • Clearer quality-control checkpoints

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this machine run wet?

Yes, we offer wet granulator configurations with water inlets to pre-wash material and reduce friction heat/blade wear.

How often do knives need sharpening?

Depending on material cleanliness, knives typically run 40-80 hours before sharpening. They can be sharpened multiple times.

Is a soundproof enclosure available?

Yes, due to high-speed operation, we recommend our integrated soundproofing cabin to keep noise levels below 85 dB.

What is the main difference from a shredder?

This granulator uses high speed impacts to cut small flakes. A shredder uses low speed torque to tear big chunks.
