Both the cutting unit and the funnel can be opened 90° hydraulically, ensuring optimum service access.

Our granulators are fitted with a maintenance drive as standard. This allows the perforated screen to be turned upwards by pressing a button and removed. In maintenance mode the rotor shaft can also be turned when replacing blades.

The shaft bearing is located outside the cutting unit; impurities and heat therefore do not reach the bearings and cannot damage them. We are proud to announce that to date none of our customers have had any damage to bearings in any of our granulators installed worldwide.

Our granulators are fitted with a maintenance drive as standard. This allows the perforated screen to be turned upwards by pressing a button and removed. The removal of discharge units is not necessary!

The transmission of power to the rotor shaft is via single-stage belt drive to achieve optimum elasticity.

An integrated slip clutch interrupts the power transmission from the drive to the rotor shaft if foreign material is detected. The low speed level blocks the rotor shaft and prevents downtime.

The cutting unit opens hydraulically 90°, enabling optimum service access to the rotor and stator blades and a comfortable working position. It is not necessary to climb into the machine!

The bolt heads of the rotor blades are fitted to the side away from the product. This protects them from damage and they can be easily removed when being replaced.

The stator and rotor blades can be used in four different ways.

As an option our machines can be operated with a field-oriented regulated frequency converter. This increases material throughput and lowers energy costs!

Other advantages:

• Can be started up under load
• Lower power consumption during start-up
• Lower power consumption under load
• Highly dynamic adjusting to changes in load
• Shorter reversing processes with dynamic reversing
• Different motor speeds can be set
• Lower basic energy rate due to lower peak currents

The cutting unit can be opened hydraulically by 90°. This means that all maintenance work can be performed from above with the cutting unit open.

The removal of discharge units is not necessary! This has made it possible to make the transition from cutting unit to discharge unit practically dust-tight.

The die clearance between rotor and stator blades can easily be adjusted from outside.

Automatic adjustment of the die clearance is available as an option.

The heart of all Unicrex granulators is the unique rotor shaft on which the individual rotor arms made of hardened special steel are mounted. In the unlikely event of damage only the individual damaged rotor arm need be removed, not the whole shaft! This means we are able to keep the costs of wear and tear extremely low.

We recommend the use of a hydraulic post-compacting unit when crushing bulky, light materials. The post-compacting enters the funnel to press the bulky material into the cutting unit. When the post-compacting unit retracts, the whole funnel is unblocked. Our special design allows operators to charge the machine even while the post-compacting unit is operating.

The doubly protected bearings are further protected by partition walls. Hence we can guarantee high plant availability and short downtimes. This design also allows crushing of liquid media with low dry matter content.

Our gearboxes are mounted on rubber buffers. These absorb extreme imacts which are thus not transferred to the gearbox.

Peak loads are absorbed by rubber buffers. This means significantly longer life cycles for gearbox and motor.

Depending on the application, our machines can be fitted with a perforated screen. This ensures uniform grain size. Please contact us for more details of these products.

Our machines can be fitted with automatic grease lubrication as an option to eliminate the need for frequent maintenance intervals.

If foreign material is detected the cutting unit is stopped automatically via the power input which can be set on site. The cutting unit goes into reverse and then turns again in the direction of work flow. This process is normally repeated three times (the number can be adjusted). The cutting unit then stops.

Our machines can be fitted with a charging level detector as an option. This can be fitted on the funnel or the discharge unit as required, thus preventing the individual units from overflowing.
