Functional details
Precise cutting with minimal energy consumption
- Cuts input material to defined particle size via selectable screen perforation
- Controlled interaction between dosing bunker and rotor ensures consistent feed and uniform flake quality
- Low energy consumption due to optimised material flow and cutting efficiency
- Integrated process water flow supports initial contaminant removal during cutting
- Bunker design with special screens prevents over-processing and reduces fine particle production
- Cutter adjustment system allows pre-settable positioning for quick changes and extended cutter life
- Maintains cutter sharpness for sustained cutting performance
- Access from top and integrated maintenance platform enable fast, safe cutter replacement
- Replaceable wear plates enhance durability and extend overall service life
Product highlights
Intelligent control concept
Innovative control concept ensuring continuous and consistent capacity utilisation of the grinder to achieve the optimal operating point (reducing fines and material losses).
Long cutter service life
Long cutter service life through compensating cutter wear by adjusting the stator cutters, avoiding the need for immediate cutter replacement while maintaining high and consistent cutting quality.
Lower product losses
Reduction of fine-particle production through adjustable cutters and optimised material discharge enabled by improved screen-hole geometry and operation at the optimal operating point.
Improved washing quality
Improved washing quality through a material-infeed bunker with press screws, ensuring continuous and demand-based material infeed, combined with optional whole-bottle pre-washing or pre-soaking by spraying with process water.
