4-3 Granulator Operation
The machine is ready for operation when all doors, covers, guards,
and limit switches are in place, securely fastened and functional,
and all accessory components are properly connected.
1. Turn the main disconnect to the ON position.
2. Start the granulator by pressing the start button at the operator
station.
3. Load feedstock at a uniform rate that does not exceed the
capacity of the machine; see Table 1: Granulator
Specifications.
4. For color and/or material changes, allow all existing material to
clear the granulator and any downstream equipment before
stopping the machine. Doing so reduces cleaning
requirements.
4-4 Cleaning Out the Granulator
To open the granulator and obtain access to the cutting chamber
and base for cleanout, follow these steps:
1. Shut OFF and LOCK OUT all power including the main
disconnect switch.
2. Open the cutting chamber doors.
3. Loosen the hand knobs on the segregation chambers and swing
down. Lift up from rear mounting bar and remove for easy
cleaning.
4. After cleaning each segregation chamber, replace in its former
position on the cutting chamber. Swing hand knob into
position and tighten securely.
