Function Description

3-2 l Function Description

Function Description

General

The granulator is designed for grinding plastic waste to

for recycling.

The plastic waste should be free from metal parts
and contamination before granulating.
The granulator is controlled by
start/stop controls on a control
panel.

Standard cutter

Open cutter

The plastics waste is feed into the hopper (A) and falls down into the cutter hous­ing, where rotating knives (B) cut the plastics waste against fixed knives (C) to
granulate.

A perforated screen (D) determines the size of the granulate. The screen is located
in the lower section of the cutting chamber and can easily be changed to give the
desired granulate size.

The granulate passes the screen and falls down through the outlet chute/granule bin
(E) to the outlet pipe (F) for onwards transport.

Granulators with an extraction fan are equipped with an extraction blower (G)
which sucks the granulate out to a cyclone (H) for separation of air. On granulator

models with a conveyor, the hopper is equipped with a conveyor belt. The
conveyor can be equipped with a metal detector.

After this, the granulate is ready for re-use in the production machine, or to be
transported to a container for later use.

The granulator is easy to clean, with a folding hopper and also good accessibility
for maintenance. Knives on the staggered rotor are disposable and should be
replaced when necessary. The rotating knives on an open rotor can be re-sharp­ened. Grinding is done in a special grinding jig. (The jig is not included when the
granulator is delivered, but is a very practical accessory.)

3-4 l Function Description

Safety System

The granulator has a safety system to prevent access to dangerous
components during operation.
The granulator has knives that rotate at high speed. The granulator is
therefore equipped with a safety system to avoid personal
injury.The safety system must not be changed or modified
under any circumstances.
If the safety system of the granulator is changed or
modified, the machine can be dangerous to use,
presenting a serious risk of personal injury.
All care and maintenance to the safety system of the
granulator must be carried out by personnel with the
necessary knowledge.
If the safety system of the granulator is modified in any way,
Conair’s responsibility under the Machinery Directive ceases
to apply.
Only Conair spare parts must be used to replace safety
components.

Emergency Stop

The granulator has an emergency stop on the control panel.
It can also be equipped with extra emergency stops.
The emergency stop is activated by pressing the button. Reset
by turning the button in the direction of the arrow (counter­clockwise).

Safety Switch

The granulator has safety switches of the
position switch type with breaking key:
– If a secured position is changed or when a breaking key

is undone,
it will break the current and the granulator stops.

This granulator has 2 safety switches:

1 at the hopper and 1 at the screen box
Check the wiring diagram (Section 9) to see how many safety switches the granulator is

equipped with.

Star Knob
The star knob for the hopper and screen box
is a very important component in the safety
system of the granulator.

It should take such a long time for the knob/screw
to be undone, that the cutter has stopped before the
granulator can be opened.

NOTE: The length of the screw must never be
changed.
NOTE: The screw can not be removed.

The screen is hardened and the knob is permanently attached.
– To change a star knob, please contact Conair.

NOTE: If the star knob is modified in any way,
Conair’s responsibility under the Machinery Directive
ceases to apply.

Sharpening Knives

NOTE: Only rotating knives for granulators with an open rotor can be sharpened. Other knives

are disposable and are replaced when necessary.

Sharpening Knives - Granulators with Open Cutter

Keep the complete set of knives together as one unit.

NOTE: To avoid unbalance, all the knives belonging to the cutter must be ground exactly the
same.

Be careful when handling the knives, they are sharp and can cause
personal injury.

NOTE: Get an experienced craftsman to sharpen the knives.
Only sharpen the marked surfaces and respect the given dimensions!

The knives must be sharpened exactly, to get the correct cutting and relief angles.
Otherwise the efficiency of the granulator will be impaired.
The knife must be cooled during sharpening. The knives must not be burned or
blued under any circumstances, otherwise they will loose their hardness and dura­bility.
If the knife is blued or burned, they can not be repaired by grinding down the blued
or burned area. The hardened knife is then completely spoiled and has lost all its
hardness and durability.
Use the Conair grinding jig SF-20 (accessory, art no. 3-030324) and a surface
grinder with magnetic table. The jig gives exact correct cutting and relief angles.

• Remove the knives adjustment screws.

• Grind the worst knife to make the relief angle 35°.

• Tighten the knife in the right-hand position in the
jig, using spacer “A” beneath the rear of the knife
(see illustration).
Spherical washers should be used when tightening
the knife.

• Grind until all the irregularities on the knife edge
have disappeared.

• Retain the settings of the surface grinder and grind
all the other knives exactly the same.

Current Sensing Relay

The granulator can be equipped with an optional current sensing relay to
control the feed equipment.

The current sensing relay detects the mill motor current consumption and
can temporarily stop accessories such as conveyors, roller feeders etc to
avoid putting further material into the hopper, when the mill is running
under heavy loading.

The relay stops and re-starts accessory equipment automatically,
without re-setting.

Relay functions and normal settings:

T1 – Start delay, prevents the relay from breaking

on connection (0.1 - 10 sec).
The default start delay is 0.1 seconds.

T2 – Reaction time, prevents the relay from breaking

during temporary high loading (0.1 - 3 sec).
Default reaction time is 3.0 seconds.

A – Hysteresis, adjustable between 5 - 50%

of the set limit.
Default hysteresis is 20 %.

B – Limit value, adjustable between 0 - 100 %.

Default setting depends on the current transformer size.
Check the current transformer size and then check the
default setting for this granulator.

C – Relay function, N = normal; I = inverted;

Connection

The current sensing relay is connected in series with
the mill motor via a current transformer.
The transformer is connected between M and E1/E2/E3
depending on the secondary current.
(For transformers with transformation to 1 A, this is
connected to E2.)

Example

The granulator is equipped with a current sensing relay to control a conveyor.
A motor of 7.5 kW has a rated current of about 15 A.
When this star/delta is started, it pulls about 15 A/ i.e. about 9 A per phase.

Relay Setting:

Motor size 15 A/ = 8,7 A per phase
T1 – Start delay setting 0.1 second.
T2 – Reaction time setting 3.0 seconds.
A – Hysteresis 20 %.
B – Limit value 30 %.
C – Relay function N normal.

• The current transformer size is 30/1A.

• The current transformer is connected to E2 (1 A).

• In a current transformer with a transformation ratio of 30/1, the limit value
B should be set to 30 % or 9 A (30 A = 100 %).

• The current sensing relay detects the current consumption of the granulator
motor and stops the conveyor, when the granulator motor exceeds 9 A for
3 seconds, to prevent further material from being fed into the hopper.

• The relay re-starts the conveyor automatically when the granulator motor
consumption has fallen 20 % below 9 A, i.e. to 7 A without a time delay.

Pre-Setting of Rotating Knives,
Granulator with Open Cutter

Knives can only be pre-set on granulators with open cutter.
The knives are pre-set on a jig.
The jig is not included when the

granulator is delivered, but is
a very practical accessory.

Setting Up the Knives

NOTE: The knives must be

sharpened before pre-setting.

When the machine is delivered, the jig is calibrated
against the set screws welded solid in the granulator cutter.

The jig gives the correct clearance of 0.008 - 0.012 in.
(0.20 - 0.30 mm).

• Screw the adjustment screws on a rotating knife in somewhat.

• Put knife in the jig, with the edge downwards.

• Put an 0.008in. (0.20 mm) feeler gauge between the adjustment screws
and the rear of the jig.

• Unscrew the adjustment screws
until the feeler gauge begins to bind.

• The pre-setting is now completed
and the knife can be installed in the cutter.

Installation of Pre-Set Knives.

NOTE: Each time the knives are changed, the

fastening screws must be replaced by new ones.

Install one pair of knives at a time.

• Clean the knife attachments.

• Install one pair of knives

• Install the attachment screws with washers loosely.

• Adjust the pair of knives against the outer edges of the cutter housing.

Band Conveyor

The band conveyor is designed for transporting plastic waste. The conveyor is
constructed from steelbeam. The frame pieces are assembled with cross sections
and screw.

The conveyor can be fitted with a metal-free zone and a metal detector.

Safety

When performing any work with the band conveyor, both the circuit-breaker and
the main circuit-breaker must be “Off”. Alternatively, the connector must be
pulled out of the power point on the granulator’s electrical cabinet!
The conveyor is designed for plastic waste. Do not use the conveyor for tasks
other than it is intended for.

Nobody should be on the conveyor or step on it during operation.
If the conveyor has stopped due to an error, or if the emergency stop has been
pressed, it must not be re-started until the cause has been established and the
appropriate action has been taken.
Mobile conveyors must always be transported in a lowered position.

Warning! When using the conveyor belt with carriers: Be careful not to let
the carriers catch your foot, arm, or article of clothing.

Installation

When installing, adjust so that the band conveyor is balanced diagonally.
If the floor of the installation site is very uneven, it should be made even before
installation.

Electrical Connection

The band conveyor should be connected up by an authorised electrician.

Connect the cables to the electrical cabinet according to the markings and the
granulator’s electrical scheme (see Section 9). Alternatively, connect the band con­veyor to the electrical cabinet with the connector.

Switch on the main circuit-breaker on the electrical cabinet. Press the start button
and check that the belt moves in the right direction.

If the belt moves in the wrong direction.

Shift the two phases in the connection to the contactor for the band conveyor in
the electrical cabinet. Alternatively, shift the two phases in the connection to the
connector.

11-6 l Accessories

11

Accessories

Starting

When the band conveyor is started for the first time, the belt’s position on the
rollers should be checked. The belt must not move obliquely.

If the belt moves obliquely.

When the belt moves obliquely. Screw one adjusting screw at a time. Only screw
a 1/4 turn. Wait and let the belt move for a few minutes. Check, adjust, wait, and
check again until the belt moves straight.

Belt tension.

The conveyor belt’s length has 1% tolerance. Never tension the belt’s adjusting
screws with a greater tightening torque than 5 Nm.

Maintenance

During all maintenance work on the band conveyor, both the circuit-breaker and
the main circuit-breaker must be “Off”. Alternatively, the connector must be pulled
out of the power point!

Regularly check the conveyor belt’s wear and its position on the rollers. The belt
must not move obliquely! Adjust as necessary according to the instructions under
“Starting - If the belt moves obliquely” (see previous Section).

Clean the belt using a light cleaning agent. Do not use any sharp objects, strong
cleaning agents or chemicals which can damage the belt.

Trouble-shooting

If the band conveyor does not start

The conveyor belt motor has an overload circuit
breaker, F3, in the distribution cabinet, which trips
if you jam or overload the conveyor belt.

This is indicated in the window (A) which then
shows an “0”.

To reset, press the “reset” button (B).

Also check the wiring diagram in Section 9, additions and modifications can occur.
