1-2 General Description

Sterling granulators are designed to uniformly and consistently size reduce your scrap. They have been engineered to consistently deliver clean granulate with a minimum of “fines”.

The rotor, on which the cutting knives are mounted, is a fabricated steel unit supported by bearings mounted outside the cutting chamber. A motor drives the rotor, which is capable of producing high torque loads. The granulator is equipped with a magnetic starter that is protected by manually resettable overload heaters. The slanted rotor knives produce a scissors cutting action which reduce the possibility of feedstock jamming in the cutting chamber.

Motors are individually fused for maximum protection in compliance with the National Electric Code.

The control enclosure houses all of the necessary wiring, fuses, overload heaters, motor starter coils, along with the 115V control transformer and granulator operating controls. The control enclosure is built to meet NEC, JIC (M.T.), and ANSI-B regulations.
