Granulator for thermoplastics - has die plate, rotary cutter mount axially displaceable on shaft and cutters

摘要

Granulator for thermoplastics has a die plate, a cutter mount upstream of the die plate carrying cutters, and a drive shaft on which the rotary cutter mount is axially displaceably mounted. The cutter mount is fastened on a multi-component casing defining a press. chamber, and can be moved against the die plate by the press. exerted by liq. or gaseous media in the press. chamber. The component of the casing moving together with the ctter mount is guided, upon the driven shaft, by ball-and-socket joints and a ball box. Accurate and reproducible setting of the press. exerted by the cutter mount against the die plate is rapidly and easily effected, even by relatively unskilled operators.
