T50: The three models in this series of granulators from Cumberland are designed to chop up large parts, including injection molded, blow molded and extruded scrap; film and sheet; and automotive moldings, ducts and components. With many optional features and two configurations for the precision-tolerance cutting chamber, the granulators can be tailored to handle products of different densities, wall thicknesses and sizes. Cumberland offers abrasion-resistant packages for high-wear applications and a water-cooled rotor option that limits heat generation. The granulators feature an intelligent control system with a 7-inch, intuitive color touch screen for easy operation. Network connectivity provides remote access to the machines. Throughputs rangefrom about 1,500 pounds per hour to 2,500 pounds per hour.
What's new? The line of granulators, which debuted in July.
Benefits: Versatility, high-quality regrind and an easy-access design that saves energy and simplifies maintenance. Bedknife maintenance is easier because operators no longer need to hold the bed knife and the shield at the same time. Additionally, each granulator door has safety features that ensure the rotor is stopped before the door can be opened. The cutting chamber and hopper suppress noise.
