The answer is yes, we can. If you have a drawing or even only planning your Granulator Blades we can manufacture it for you. If you are looking for a CNC manufacturer of Granulator Blades and Knives please email or phone us to discuss your requirements.

Can you extend the life of my granulator blades?

Fernite offer standard blades made from high quality European Tool steel. To further improve blade life, wear resistance and chip resistance we offer a toughened tip or superior tip. Speak to our sales team if you would like to learn more.

How do you make tungsten carbide tipped granulator blades?

To improve wear resistance of the edge to impact and erosion, we manufacture tungsten carbide tipped Granulator Blades. During the manufacturing process we braze tungsten carbide insert onto the cutting edge of a granulator blade.

Can you identify a granulator blade from a serial number, or do I need to measure the blade?

Fernite has an extensive database of granulator blades that fit many machines locally and abroad. With this large record of various models we can help many customers to identify their blades and manufacture them.

Wide Range of Plastic Granulator Blades from the UK

Plastic Granulator Blades are the crucial components of granulator machines. They significantly impact the efficiency of the granulation process.

Problems that might arise while using Granulator Machines:
• Uneven or poor quality granulate
• Material tearing instead of cutting
• Noticeable decrease throughput
• Excess noise

These problems usually mean that sharpening the granulator blades is necessary to maintain optimal performance. We offer a professional granulator blade sharpening service, with a regular pick up/collection service throughout the UK.

After a blade has been sharpened 10 times through its lifetime, it’s significantly thinner than the original. At this point, it reaches the end of its life and needs replacing.

There are the main signs that a Granulator Blade needs replacing:
• Has been sharpened 10 times during its lifetine
• Significant thinning
• Pour fit due to multiple sharpening
• Significant chipping
• Reduced output

We can help you to solve this problem by choosing a correct granulator blade for your application.
If you’re having issues, take a look at our tough tipped blades and don’t forget to ask us about your FREE on-site blade assessment and report.

A complete design, production, repair and regrinding service of plastic granulator blades and knives are available to our customers. Our inspection and test procedures are both rigid and comprehensive in our certified with our ISO 9001 quality factory. So our customers can be confident with the top quality blades and timely service.

Upon your initial enquiery our technical staff will ask you:

What material is being processed? hard, soft, large or small section?
Is there likely to be a risk of contamination?
How abrasive is the material?
Does the knife operate in a corrosive environment?
Cost. A large section knife is generally cheaper if a tipped knife is used, whereas a knife of small sectional area is invariably cheaper if made from heat treated alloy steel.
What issues are you experiencing with your current knife?

When to choose a toughened, tipped or superior tipped blade

An important factor to remember, is that a damaged tipped knife can be repaired, provided that there is sufficient grinding life left in the knife. Our tips are manufactured into the blade, subsequently forming a complete mechanical and metallurgical bond.

Considerable cost savings arise using this type of blade, especially ones with a large cross-sectional area. The special advantage of these knives is their shatterproof quality which prevents damage to the granulator machine. This is because a tipped blade will twist rather than shatter like a solid tool steel blade. Being shatterproof is particularly important when the material being processed may be contaminated by foreign matter.

Fernite tough tipped blades are ideal where there is a risk of contamination, or where D2 blades are prone to suffering larger chips. Our toughened blades retain their sharpness for longer and any chips will be smaller. So, this means that any damage sustained can be repaired by sharpening the blade. Whilst sharpening the blade , we’re able to remove less material extending both the efficiency and the working life of the blade.

Advantages:

Shatterproof quality
Ideal for heavy duty cutting
When proceeding contaminated materials
When material is processed at elevated temperatures
Less blade edge material is removed during sharpening process
