New Product| Nuga, the Swiss manufacturer of plastics granulators and accessories, has further developed its compact CentriCut 44slr range designed for demanding PET bottle applications.
Whole bottles or bottle pieces are fed by conveyor belt into the CentriCut and converted into flakes. The machine’s long-life rotor and stator blades consist of sintered carbide metal plates that have been specially developed for use in the abrasive PET granulation process. Throughputs of several hundred tonnes are possible without the blades needing to be turned.
A horizontal screw arrangement feeds the PET bottles inside into the granulator rotor, thereby offering large-volume and low-bulk-density intake of material as well as fast delivery of output material. The short residence time eliminates thermal burden on the ground material and leads to low specific energy consumption, low blade wear and throughputs of up to 3000 kg per hour depending on PET bottle type and on the geometry of the screen perforation used.
