SMS 100/160-9-2 SB3 Herbold Meckesheim's new force-fed granulator is designed to chew up PET bottles.
What's new? A rotor that is 20 percent larger than the company's current offerings.
Benefits Higher throughput rates. The granulator can handle 7 tons per hour. Its patented screw-fed mechanism has three vertically mounted feeding screws that cut down on power consumption and allow for consistent, even feed rates. With the mechanism, the machine can operate quietly, with reduced fines and dust. It produces no material flyback, and its design reduces wear on the cutting chamber.
