To avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage when installing, operating, or
maintaining this granulator, use good judgment and follow these safe practices:
Page 11
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 1: Safety 11 of 45
! LEARN AND OBEY your company’s safety policy regarding granulating
equipment.
! MOVING OR LIFTING THE GRANULATOR: Although our equipment is built
and engineered for great ruggedness in operation, care must be taken when moving
the machine along the floor or lifting it. Damage may occur to sheet metal covers,
electrical cabinets, or small brackets if pressure is applied to them when moving the
granulator. When lifting the granulator, be certain of total machine weight and the
capability of the lifting equipment. (See the Granulator Specification Sheets for
machine weights and dimensions.)
! GRANULATOR LOCATION: Adequate area for routine maintenance should be
provided in order to open the machine for knife, screen, or cleanout service. Proper
service area clearances also should allow people who are working on the machine to
be clearly visible to others, thereby reducing potential safety hazards.
! SAFE HOUSEKEEPING: The work area must be kept clean and uncluttered during
periods of operation or maintenance. No hand tools or other metal objects should be
left on or around the machine. Any tools or other metal objects that mistakenly fall
into the hopper feed opening can cause severe damage to the internal cutting
chamber, rotor and screen components.
! SAFETY GLASSES OR A FACE SHIELD MUST ALWAYS BE WORN when
servicing or operating the machine. Although our machines are designed for the
maximum in fly back control, caution must be used when operating near the hopper
feed opening in order to guard against unexpected material fly back.
! EAR PROTECTION may be required when operating the machine during
granulation of very hard or noisy materials. The Occupational Safety and Health Act
of 1970 has established guidelines for Permissible Noise Exposures (OSHA 1910.95)
that should be followed.
! NEVER attempt to operate the granulator unless it is fully assembled with all guards
and interlocks in place and functional.
! OBSERVE all danger, warning, caution and safety labels on the equipment.
! Upon completion of any machine maintenance, be certain ALL SAFETY GUARDS
AND COVERS are securely and properly fastened prior to resuming machine
operation. All fasteners must be in place and properly tightened. ANY
SHORTCUTS MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO PERSONNEL OR DAMAGE
TO EQUIPMENT.
! NEVER wear any loose fitting clothes, neckties, or dangling items such as earrings,
belts, or shoestrings. Jewelry, such as wristwatches, bracelets, or rings should
NEVER be worn. Long hair must be tied back or placed in a tight fitting hairnet.
NEVER lean against or rest hands or feet on the granulator when it is in operation or
open for maintenance. NEVER stand on the granulator when it is in operation.
! ROTATION OF MOTORS: The correct rotating direction for the granulator motor
is clearly marked on the machine. Always check for proper rotation of motors.
Incorrect rotation direction can cause severe damage.
! ELECTRICAL GROUNDING: All electrical equipment on the granulator must be
grounded in accordance to all local codes and Article 250 of the National Electric

Page 12
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 1: Safety 12 of 45
! ALWAYS DISCONNECT AND LOCKOUT the main electrical power to the
granulator before performing any service.
! SAFETY INTERLOCKS MUST NOT BE BYPASSED. The mechanical and
electrical safety interlocks ensure the safety of personnel. They should never be
tampered with or removed for ANY reason. They should be checked frequently by a
qualified mechanic for proper operation.
! NEVER modify the machine configuration or any individual component without
written notice from the factory.
For further information on granulator safety, installation and operation, see the American
National Standard for Plastics Machinery!Granulators, Pelletizers, and Dicers Used for
Size Reduction of Plastics!Construction, Care, and Use. ANSI B151.11-1982.
We have long recognized the importance of safety and have designed and manufactured our
equipment with operator safety as a prime consideration. We expect you, as a user, to abide
by the foregoing recommendations in order to make operator safety a reality.
Additional Warning:
The process of granulating and conveying materials inevitably creates dust levels that could
potentially cause a hazard if certain procedures or precautions are not followed. Hazardous
dust is defined as any material particle 420 microns or smaller (less than 40 mesh or .0164”)
which is dispersed in air or collected on surfaces more than 1/32” thick.
The following are some precautions that should be followed to avoid any dust related hazards.
1. Always use the largest granulator screen or regrind particle size for your process. The
larger the screen size, the less dust will be generated.
2. Know the specifics of the material you are granulating. If your material is especially
dusty, inquire about other equipment that may help in controlling the dust levels.
3. Keep the area around the granulator clean by minimizing leaks from the machine or
conveying/collection system. It is suggested that an industrial vacuum be used as needed
to keep the area clean.
4. When cleaning the granulator for color or material changes, an industrial vacuum is
recommended. Do not use compressed air to blow off material on machine surfaces.
5. Establish frequent knife gap maintenance procedures. Different materials have different
effects on knife wear and ultimately the operating knife gap. Large knife gaps (2 or 3
times the original setting) can generate higher dust levels.
Also note that the granulating process can generate heat sufficient to melt materials and
potentially cause fires or explosions.
The following are some precautions that should be followed to avoid any fire/explosion
related hazards.
1. Feed process materials at the appropriate rate consistent with the granulator throughput
capacity and screen size used for your material. Overfeeding can cause jam ups and/or
melting of process material which can outgas potentially explosive gas.
2. Monitor pneumatic conveying systems used to convey granulate from the granulator.
Loss of conveying can cause a material back up and ultimate melting and gas offing.
3. Maintain proper knife gaps on the granulator. Small knife gaps can result in knife
collisions which can then cause excessive friction, which heats the process material, and
may cause potential ignition.
Page 13
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 1: Safety 13 of 45
4. Based on the characteristics of the material being processed, consider the use of fire
suppression/explosion detection equipment in conjunction with your granulator.

2-1 Models Covered in This Manual
This manual provides the necessary instructions for the installation, set-up, and maintenance
of our 10 x 12 and 10 x 18 granulators, which covers models: GP, BP, 1000X & MTG.
2-2 General Description
The granulator is comprised of an infeed hopper into which the material to be granulated is
fed, mounted on a cutting chamber, in which a series of rotary and bed knives reduce the
material to granules, the size of which is determined by the screen holes; the granules fall and
collect in the bin below. The operation of the granulator is controlled by a control panel and
powered by an electric motor.
The hopper is designed to tilt back, and the screen cradle to swing down for quick access into
the cutting chamber.
These compact, easily movable, soundproofed, low-speed granulators are designed for
beside-the-press granulation, engineered for hand feed, robot feed, or conveyor feed. The
1000 Series granulators are ideal for reject components from injection, blow molding. And
extrusion processes.
Page 15
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 2: Functional Description 15 of 45
2-3 Typical Features and Components
Hopper
The hopper is an upright enclosure bolted to the top of the cutting chamber. The hopper is
designed to facilitate the feeding of material to the rotary knives and to protect the operator
from material that may be thrown out.
Cutting Chamber
The cutting chamber is a rectangular enclosure comprised the main frame, the bed knives, the
bed knife shields, a balanced rotor, and a screen.
The main frame of the cutting chamber carries the bed knives and the bed knife shields. The
downstroke bed knife shield is adjustable.
The screen is supported in position below the rotor and acts as a separating barrier to the
granulated material, retaining the material in the cutting chamber until the particle size is such
that it will pass through the screen holes.
The rotor carries the rotor knives. The rotation of the rotor produces a cutting action between
the rotor knives and the stationary bed knives, thus reducing the material size.
Drive System
The rotor is indirectly driven by the motor through v-belts. The motor shaft pulley, v-belts,
and the rotor shaft pulley are shielded by safety guards or a sound enclosure.
The motor is mounted on an adjustable sliding base, which is mounted at the left end of the
granulator.
Discharge System
The granulated material that falls through the screen is collected by a discharge chute beneath
the cutting chamber and directed into a bin. The bin can be removed from the front of the
granulator for emptying.
On models fitted with an airveying system (optional), the granulated material that has fallen
through the screen is collected in a transition piece located beneath the cutting chamber. The
transition piece is connected to a blower, which conveys the granulated material through
ducting to the cyclone separator. The cyclone separator allows the granulated material to drop
out of the air system into a container.
Base
The base is caster-mounted, with two swivel casters for easy positioning.
Page 16
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 2: Functional Description 16 of 45
2-4 Safety Features
Safety Switches
Safety switches at all access covers are wired into the starter control circuit. The machine
cannot be started when these parts are open. However, for safety purposes, the machine
should be disconnected from the power lines by a disconnect switch or by removing the plug
from its receptacle. Check all safety switches periodically for proper operation.
Safety Tags
A set of metal plates are attached to the machine to warn of potential danger.
Sound Reduction Equipment
Sound reduction equipment will bring the sound level of your machine to within the
limitations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Material, part configuration, feed rate,
and ambient noise level must be specified at the time of inquiry.
Research has been conducted to assess the noise generated by the operation of Sound
Enclosed Granulator Models 1012 and 1018.
The testing is intended to determine a General Noise Level during the operation of the
granulator. Although the operating noise levels vary with different processed materials,
material configurations, throughputs, and conveying methods, the information presented here
will give the user an average noise level that operators may be exposed to.
Reference was made to the following technical regulations to establish the noise emitted by
the machine:
• S.P.I. Noise Test – Noise Measurement Procedure for Granulators, by the Society of
the Plastic Industry.
• UNI7712 – Machine Tools – Determining Noise in the Working Environment – 1977
• ISO3746 – Acoustics – Determination of Sound Power Level of Noise Sources –
Engineering method for free field conditions over a reflecting plane – 1981
• ISO3746 – Acoustics – Determination of Sound Power Level of Noise Sources –
Survey method – 1979
• DIN45635 – Measurements of airborne noise emitted by machines – Enveloping
measuring method – 1972.
The technical specifications of the Sound Enclosed Granulator Models 1012 and 1018
(Figure 2) and the test methods used to establish the noise level generated are described
below (Figure 4). Figure 3 gives the mean sound levels Lpm in dB(A) for each model of
machine, as well as an average of the sound levels measured at the four positions shown on
the diagram below.

Chapter 3: Installation
3-1 Uncrating the Equipment
The complete granulator is skidded for shipment. The bin has been removed from the
granulator to facilitate lifting with a forklift truck. The bin is packed with spare parts if
required. Refer to the Appendix for detailed dimensional data and pertinent weights.
Prepare in advance the site you have selected for installation of the granulator. Be certain
that the area to be occupied by the machine is clean, level, and free of obstructions. The
machine should be set on a concrete floor, and care must be taken when moving the machine
across a hollow timber floor, so that the point loading of the casters does not cause damage.
The site you have selected must have a floor rating to adequately support the weight of the
machine. If necessary, use steel shims to level the machine.
Locate the machine so that access is given to electrical components, screen, and hopper.
Maintenance personnel should have unobstructed access to the units on which they will be
working.
To avoid squeezing people working near a machine, there should be adequate clearance
maintained between machines, walls, or partitions. Hinged doors and covers should have full
swing. Restrictions may force work in cramped quarters. An off-balance operator with an
awkward reach into a partially obscured area is unsafe.
If inspection after shipment has revealed no shipping damage, unpack the unit by removing
all hold-downs, tie-downs, bolts, nuts, etc. Remove the envelope with the electrical
schematics and instruction manual from the base evacuation area.
You can now have the machine lifted from the skid. To lift and move the granulator safely
and correctly, cover any sharp corners or edges, and use the type of equipment that has the
most appropriate features and capacity. Use the designated lifting points, and do NOT lift the
machine by the hopper handles or guards.
When using a forklift to move the granulator, place the carriage forks under the base. Where
a forklift truck is not available, it is possible to use cables or belts, provided that they are
strong enough to support the weight of the granulator.
3-2 Belt Tensioning
Tension the belts at the maximum recommended force. Check the tension at least twice
during the first day of operation. See Section 5-5 on page 28 for the belt tensioning
procedure.
Page 19
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 3: Installation 19 of 45
3-3 Electrical Connections
Check serial tag voltage/amperage requirements and make sure your electrical service
conforms before making any electrical connections. Make sure that all three phases are wired
correctly.
Bring properly sized power leads and grounds from a fused disconnect to the unit. Provide
external overcurrent protection to the unit, using circuit breakers or fuses. If you use fuses,
make sure that they are dual-element, time-delay fuses, sized according to your electrical
code. Refer to the technical specifications in the Appendix for horsepower, voltage, phase,
and frequency requirements to determine the size and rating of the supply cable required.
Use the following procedure to complete the electrical connections:
1. Check to be certain that the starter heater elements correspond with the motor
requirements. If controls are not supplied, the limit switches supplied on the machine
must be wired into the circuit at the common terminal box.
2. Check that the limit switches are closed.
3. Turn switch ON at main power supply.
4. Jog the motor by pressing the START and then the OFF button. This starts and stops
the motor.
5. With the electrical power ON, check that the motor rotates in a clockwise direction at
the viewing port in the belt guard. If motor rotation is correct, continue to the next
step. If rotation is incorrect, complete the following procedure:
a. Shut power OFF and disconnect incoming power supply.
b. Reverse any two of the three power line connections to the machine.
c. Re-connect the incoming power supply line and turn ON the main power
switch to recheck motor drive rotation.
6. If an airveying system (optional) is fitted, press the Airveyor START button, and
check the blower motor rotation. The blower motor should rotate in a
counterclockwise direction. If blower motor rotation is correct, continue to step 7. If
blower motor rotation is incorrect, complete the following procedure:
a. Shut power OFF and disconnect incoming power supply line.
b. Reverse any two of the three power line connections to the blower motor.
c. Re-connect the incoming power supply line, and recheck the blower motor
rotation.
7. Allow all motors to run up to speed for at least 30 seconds.

3-6 Initial Start-up
This machine has been run under power and tested at the factory prior to shipment. The
necessary settings and adjustments have been made so that a minimum amount of setting up
or re-adjustment is required when starting up the machine in its new location.
With all electrical, mechanical connections and lubrication requirements having been
attended to, the following start-up steps should be carefully carried out before attempting to
place any material into the infeed hopper. Use the following procedure to prepare the
machine for initial start-up:
Before operating the granulator, insure that the granulator has been correctly
assembled and wired.
1. Access the cutting chamber as described in Section 3-4 on page 20.
2. Thoroughly clean the rust preventative materials or grease from the inside of the
cutting chamber and screen.
3. Check all rotor knives to make sure they are properly seated on the rotor and securely
fastened. Although they are ground as a set, one knife will probably be .001” to .002”
higher than the others. This should be marked and used when adjusting the bed
knives for proper clearance.
4. Use a feeler gauge to check the clearance between the rotor and the bed knives by
turning the rotor backwards. Rotating the rotor backwards gives a better feel and does
not cut the gauge, should the knives be too close. Check the knives on each end only.
Proper clearance is 0.005” to 0.008” for most materials; this clearance is slightly
greater at the center of the knives.
Recheck knife clearance after the first 24 to 36 hours of operation.
5. To make the adjustment on the bed knives, the bed knife bolts should be hand
tightened to hold the knife firmly against the knife seat while adjusting the knife
forward using push and pull screws. After the clearance is set, torque the bed knife
screws to 95 Ft. Lb. (128 Nm) and the rotor knives to 100 Ft. Lb. (135 Nm).
6. With the exposed parts of the machine thoroughly clean, and all knife clamping bolts
securely fastened, close the cutting chamber as described in Section 3-5 on page 20.
After initial start-up, the rotor knife retaining screws should be checked after 8
hours running to be assured that 100 Ft. Lb. (135 Nm) of torque is maintained.
Thereafter, rotor knife retaining screws should be checked weekly.
The rotor must be rotated at least two rotations every 30 days to prevent
brinnelling and corrosion of raceways.
Page 22
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 4: Operation 22 of 45
Chapter 4: Operation
4-1 Start-up
Before starting the machine, check that the rotor rotates freely by rotating it by hand from
outside the machine using either the coupling or the sheave depending on the type of drive.
Inspect the cutting chamber carefully to insure that nothing has fallen into it. Make sure all
screws and bolts are properly secured. Check all electrical connections and motor rotations.
See Chapter 3 on pages 18-21 for detailed set-up instructions. Allow all motors to run up to
speed for at least 30 seconds.
If the granulator stalls frequently during use, it may be necessary to adjust the
calibration of the “overload.” Check the values shown in the electrical diagram.
4-2 Feeding the Granulator
Feed the granulator through the opening in the hopper. The method of feeding the granulator
depends on the physical form and nature of the material being processed.
For maximum efficiency, the granulator should be fed at a rate that is consistent with its
capacity; i.e., if the granulator is rated at 60 kg/hr (132 lbs./hr.), then the general feed rate is 1
kb/min. (2.2 lbs./min.). Under these operating conditions, the correct proportions of cut and
uncut particles will be present in the cutting chamber.
Under no circumstances should the operator attempt to reach into the hopper to
dislodge any bridged or jammed material while the granulator is in operation. To clear
the hopper of bridged or jammed material, the machine main power must be turned off
and the machine isolated.
4-3 Clearing a Jammed Cutting Chamber
Never attempt to free a jammed machine by placing hands on the rotor, rotor knives, or inside
the cutting chamber. Hands must be kept clear of the rotational path of the rotor knives.
Good footing on a clean floor is essential and the body should be well braced to guard against
loss of balance should the jam suddenly come free. Use the following procedure to clear a
jammed cutting chamber:
1. Disconnect and lock out power.
2. Be certain that the rotor is motionless.
3. Open the machine as instructed in Section 3-4 on page 20.
4. Use a pry bar to exert force on the rotor, usually in the direction opposite normal
rotation. A leather mallet and a block of wood of sufficient length to keep hands
away from path of knives can be used if necessary.
5. Use pliers to remove material from the cutting chamber, keeping in mind that the
removal of material may cause rotation of the rotor and rotor knives.
6. After clearing the jam, be certain that the screen and all guards and covers are
secured in place before connecting power and starting the machine.
Page 23
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 4: Operation 23 of 45
4-4 Shut-down
Use the following procedure to properly and safely shut down the machine:
1. Stop all feeding of material.
2. Allow the granulator to run until the cutting chamber is completely empty.
3. Press the drive motor “stop” button. This shuts off the rotor drive motor.
4. After the granulator has stopped, press the airveyor stop button (if applicable) located
at the blower motor.
5. Turn the main power switch to off.

5-2 Testing the Interlock Switch
The cutting chamber interlock switch ensures that the granulator cannot be running when the
cutting chamber or screen cradle are open. When disengaged, the interlocks open the
electrical control circuit to the motor and prevent the machine from running.
To test the interlock switch, retract the interlock actuator screw by turning it
counterclockwise. Make sure that the end of the actuator screw is visible and clear of any
contact. The granulator should stop. If the granulator does not stop, the interlock is not
working. If the interlock does not work, the complete mechanism, including the switch, must
be removed and disassembled to determine the cause of the malfunction.
Page 25
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 5: Maintenance 25 of 45
5-3 Replacing and Adjusting the Knives
During use, the clearance between the rotor knives and the bed knives will increase due to
wear. This is a normal condition that requires re-setting this clearance once or twice before it
is necessary to remove the knives for regrinding. Check the knives weekly for wear,
clearance, exposure, and screw tightness.
When new knives are fitted to the machine, adjustment after eight hours of running time may
be required.
Before assembling a new or reground set of knives, make sure the knife seats and mounting
holes are clean. Do not use grease or oil on screws or tapped holes when assembling the
knives.
Knives must be replaced in complete sets; otherwise it will not be possible to obtain even
clearance between the rotor knives and bed knives.
Before applying a wrench to any knife bolt, be certain that the rotor is blocked to prevent
rotation. One such method is to use a block of wood at least 1 1/2” thick between a knife
and a fixed portion of the frame.
Rotor Knives
We recommend that the rotor knife screws be replaced with new screws every sixth knife
change to reduce the risk of screw failure due to overstretching. Screws must be replaced
with the type specified in the spare parts list. Use the following procedure to replace or adjust
the rotor knives:
Rotor knives should be changed one seat at a time to prevent rotor from
being rotated in an out-of-balance condition.
1. Access the cutting chamber as directed in Section 3-4 on page 20.
2. Remove or set back the bed knives to clear the rotor knives so that the rotor can
revolve freely.
3. Remove rotor knife bolts and knives on each seat.
4. Thoroughly clean knife seats.
5. Install new or sharpened knives on each knife seat, making sure that the rotor is still
blocked to prevent it from rotating while installing each knife.
6. Lightly tighten the screws and check that a 0.04 mm (0.0015”) feeler gauge will not
pass between the back of the knife and the knife seat. Tap the knife gently with a
rawhide hammer if necessary to close the gap.
7. Tighten the rotor knife screws evenly and torque them to 100 ft. lb. (135 Nm)
Bolt threads should not be oiled. Wipe thread with an oil-dampened
cloth.
8. Re-check the gap between the back of the knife and the knife seat. If necessary,
readjust the knife.
9. Adjust the clearance between the bed knives and rotor knives. (See “Bed Knives” on
page 26.)
Page 26
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 5: Maintenance 26 of 45
Bed Knives
We recommend that the same screws and washers be re-used only when the bed knives have
been repositioned or re-ground. When blunt knives are discarded and replaced with new
knives, use new screws and washers. This will reduce the risk of screw failure due to their
overstretching. Screws and washers must be replaced with the type specified in the Spare
Parts List. Use the following procedure to replace or adjust the bed knives:
1. Access the cutting chamber as directed in Section 3-4 on page 20.
2. Loosen the lock nuts on the bed knife adjusting screws and back off screws.
3. Loosen and remove the bed knife bolts and lift the upper shield, removing it from the
cutting chamber.
4. Remove the bed knives.
5. Before installing and adjusting the bed knives, check all rotor knives to make sure
they are properly seated on the rotor and securely fastened.
6. Place the downstroke bed knife and its shield in place and hand-tighten the knife
bolts to hold them firmly to the knife seats.
7. Using the push and pull screws to set the knife clearance to 0.005” to 0.008” for most
materials; 0.014” to 0.016” for solid wall pipe with 0.187” wall thickness or greater.
The clearance should be measured with a feeler gauge at the ends of the knife, by
rotating the rotor sheave backwards by hand. The clearance is slightly greater at the
center of the knives.
8. Adjust the shield using its push and pull screws so that its front edge is within 1/32”
of the bed knife edges.
9. Tighten the bed knife bolts to 95 ft. lb. (128 Nm).
10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 for the upstroke bed knives.
Page 27
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 5: Maintenance 27 of 45
5-4 Sharpening the Knives
Under normal operating use, the cutting edge of the knives will eventually become dulled,
resulting in reduced cutting efficiency. The blunt knives may either be re-ground to restore
the cutting edge, or replaced with new knives when regrinding is not possible.
The minimum dimensions given for the rotor knife and bed knife cannot be combined
to produce a cutting combination. For example, a bed knife ground to its minimum
dimension cannot be combined with a rotor knife that is also ground to its minimum
dimension.
Rotor Knife Sharpening
The rotor knife can be re-sharpened to the diagram below. The three knives must be
sharpened to within 0.076 mm (0.003”) of each other. Greater dimensional variations will
cause difficulty when setting the knife gap and create other serious complications.
When sharpening, it is not harmful to allow a few small nicks to remain in the cutting edge.
Grinding the cutting edge until perfectly clean can sometimes be wasteful.
Do not install rotor knives that are smaller than the minimum dimension shown, because the
fasteners that secure these knives will interfere with the cutting circle. If the rotor cannot turn,
the bed knives will be damaged.
Bed Knife Sharpening
Each bed knife is provided with two cutting edges. When the exposed edges become blunt,
the knives can be turned and repositioned to present the new cutting edges. When resharpening is necessary, refer to the diagram below.
It is not necessary to grind bed knives to the closely matched tolerance of rotor knives. As
with rotor knives, small nicks in the cutting edges will not seriously affect knife cutting
efficiency. Bed knives that are smaller than the minimum dimensions shown must be
replaced along with the fasteners that secure them.

5-5 Adjusting Belt Tension
For continuous reliable operation of the granulator, it is important that the belt tension is
correct. Correct tension reduces wear on rotor and motor bearings and keeps belt slip to a
minimum. Figure 6 gives the recommended force to deflect each belt by an amount equal to
the belt span divided by 64. A gauge is available through the sales department to measure the
deflection and force. Use the following procedure to adjust the belt tension:
1. Turn off the granulator at the main isolator switch and remove fuses.
2. Remove the cover to gain access to the belts.
3. Turn the adjusting screw on the motor slide base to tension the belts as required (See
Figure 6).
4. Re-tighten the screws, making sure the pulleys are in correct alignment.
5. Replace the covers.
1. Verify that the alignment of the pulley is correct. Utilizing a
straightedge of sufficient length to span from one pulley to the other,
place it along the sides of both pulleys. The entire face of each
pulley should fully contact the straightedge.
2. Measure the belt SPAN with a measuring tape. Record this
dimension in your note book.
3. Using the deflection tester, apply a perpendicular force at the
midpoint of any one of the belts to deflect the belt 1/64th of an inch.
4. Calculate the deflection force:
FORCE[Lb]= SPAN[IN] X (1/64)[Lb/IN]
5. Identify the belt type and measure the small sheave diameter. Look
up the proper model belt deflection force table and find out what the
force is supposed to be.
6. The motor position should be adjusted until the actual deflection
force matches the force listed in the table.
Page 29
1000 Series Granulators Chapter 5: Maintenance 29 of 45
7. In no case should the belts be over tensioned, as this can significantly
reduce belt and/or bearing life

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting
6-1 Introduction
The utmost in safety precautions should be observed at all times when working on or around
the machine and the electrical components. All normal trouble-shooting must be
accomplished with the power off, line fuses removed, and with the machine tagged as out of
service.
The use of good quality test equipment cannot be over-emphasized when troubleshooting is
indicated. Use a good ammeter that can measure at least twice the AC and DC current that
can be encountered by the machine. Be sure that the voltmeter has at least minimum
impedance of 5,000 OHMS-per-volt on AC and 20,000 OHMS-per-volt on DC scales.
Popular combination meters, VOM and VTVM can be selected to provide the necessary
functions.
Before making haphazard substitutions and repairs when defective electrical components are
malfunctioning, we recommend that you check the associated circuitry and assemblies for
other defective devices. It is common to replace the obviously damaged component without
actually locating the real cause of the trouble. Such hasty substitutions will only destroy the
new component. Refer to wiring diagrams and schematics.
Locating mechanical problems, should they occur, is relatively straightforward. When
necessary, refer to the parts catalog section.
