June 21, 2024

G-Max XL revamps the ML-33, with a more service- and maintenance-friendly design.

Wittmann's G-Max XL is a revamped version of its ML-33 beside-the-press granulator that offers a more service- and maintenance-friendly design and an updated color scheme.

G-Max XL This medium beside-the-press granulator from Wittmann was formerly known as the ML-33, before a series of upgrades. Featuring a three-blade open rotor, scissor cutting action and slant-knife arrangement, it can be used in robot-fed, conveyor-fed or hand-fed applications.

What’s new? Enlargement and relocation of the electrical cabinet, so it’s more service- and maintenance-friendly, and to allow more electrical options to be installed. Also, the color scheme of the original ML-33 has been updated.

Benefits Efficient granulation of materials still warm from processing. The granulator produces little noise and few fines. It is designed for easy maintenance and cleaning.
