Adjustable bed and fly knives are made of hardened tool steel. Hydraulic actuated screen cradle and top hood provides easy access to knife and screen area for quick clean-out between material changes and easy screen and knife maintenance. Open rotor design allows greater air and material flow during the cutting process providing increased throughput at cooler temperatures. Solid rotor design features shorter, staggered fly knives with greater rotor inertia for processing higher density materials. Heavy duty, double row, self-aligning spherical roller bearings mounted outboard for ease of maintenance and prevention of contamination.
Structural base is constructed of welded, heavy duty structural sections.
Dual flywheel design is available to provide greater rotor inertia allowing the unit to work more efficiently with less horsepower and lower power costs. Marathon's Heavy Duty Granulators can be combined with other equipment to optimize the reduction process. A classifier screen determines the final size of the granules. Soft-start is available as an option. Customized controls with PLC interface are available.
