The
Maguire Radial™ Granulator features a patent rotary cutting method which
delivers superior performance at a lower price that conventional
granulators. The unique rotary cutting action eliminates flyback and
requires less torque for granulation. The standard unit delivers 6 cuts
per revolution or 10,500 cuts per minute with a 1,750 rpm motor. Two feed
throat openings are available: 6" x 7.5" (R9) and 12.5" x
12.5" (R18). The Radial Granulator is safely and easily disassembled
for quick material change. The front access door is fully interlocked and
easily opened to
enable unlimited access to material contact surfaces.
How Radial™
Granulators Work
In a conventional
granulator the rotor turns at speeds as low as 200 rpm around a horizontal
axis and describes a cylindrical path in the cutting chamber. The rotor in
the Maguire Radial Granulator moves in a circular path around a vertical
axis at 1,750 rpm creating far more centrifugal force which drives scrap
to the knifes and through the screen. The combination of very low
residence time in the cutting chamber and close tolerances between the
cutting edges of the knives minimizes the generation of dust and fines.
High air flow through
the chamber is also inherent to the design of the Radial Granulator. This
aspect not only promotes movement of granulate through the screen, but
also reduces temperature in the cutting chamber improving the quality of
the granulate.
Fast, safe cleanout
For cleanout, operators can gain easy access to all material contact
surfaces by means of the unit's fully interlocked front door.
