A standard granulator processing Post Consumer or other abrasive materials at near capacity would require at least two knife changes or sharpening’s per week.
The regrind on most competitors’ grinder blades is between 8 and 9.5 mm, with around 1 mm being removed per sharpening. That means that in this application, one set of blades would last nine sharpening, or less than five weeks.
The Panchal Rotor and Blade configuration has a regrind capacity of 18mm, which is nearly twice that of competing versions. This equates to 18 sharpening and a nine-week average life expectancy. When you consider the blade savings (outside blade adjustment and continuous blade to screen clearance), the yearly savings add up to a significant amount, offering unrivalled value.
