5508 Recycling Knife / Granulator Knife — M35 HSS‑Co, 46 x 12 x 4 mm

A 5508 recycling and granulator knife engineered for BKG shredders and pelletising systems, optimised for consistent cut quality and extended tool life.

• M35 HSS‑Co for improved wear resistance
• Precision ground 46 x 12 x 4 mm cutting edge
• Compatible with BKG shredders and granulators
• High cutting quality with reduced dust generation

Continuous industrial performance with hardened high‑speed steel

The blade is manufactured from M35 (HSS‑Co), a cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel chosen for its superior wear resistance and thermal stability under heavy loads. In continuous recycling operations, material hardness and heat resistance determine service life; the chosen alloy sustains sharpness over longer cycles, which reduces the frequency of blade changes and keeps production throughput stable. This characteristic supports predictable production planning and lower lifecycle costs compared with softer grades.

Precision fit to cut downtime and improve pellet quality

With a precision‑ground 46 x 12 x 4 mm profile, the knife provides exact geometry for secure mounting in BKG holders and consistent interaction with counter knives. Accurate blade dimensions minimise vibration and uneven wear, which in turn lowers scrap rates and reduces the formation of fines. A correctly matched cutting edge helps achieve uniform granulate size and a cleaner cut surface, improving downstream processing and reducing rework in extrusion and regranulation stages.

Application advantages for recycling and granulation lines

Designed for use in shredders, cutting mills and granulators, the knife supports processing of plastics such as films, pipes and plates as described for typical recycling tasks. Sharp, well‑fitting blades contribute to lower dust generation and a more reliable material flow, enhancing both operational safety and product quality. MetavCUT supplies process‑optimised wear parts that are built for productive environments: the components are dimensionally accurate, robust and specifically developed for continuous industrial use, offering an economical alternative to original manufacturer parts while maintaining fit and durability.

FAQ

What machines is this knife compatible with? This knife is compatible with BKG recycling, shredding and granulation machines; the 5508 is configured to match standard BKG mounting and cutting geometries.

How does M35 HSS‑Co improve tool life? M35 HSS‑Co increases heat and wear resistance compared with plain high‑speed steel, which allows the 5508 knife to retain edge geometry longer under continuous operation.

Can the knife process all types of plastics? The blade is suitable for a wide range of plastics commonly processed in recycling lines—films, pipes and plates—delivering clean cuts and consistent granulate.

How does precise dimensioning affect production? Accurate 46 x 12 x 4 mm dimensions reduce vibration and uneven wear, improving pellet uniformity and lowering the rate of fines and rejects in subsequent processing.

Is this knife a direct alternative to original manufacturer parts? MetavCUT 5508 blades are designed as process‑optimised wear parts that offer a practical and cost‑effective alternative to original parts while maintaining fit and longevity.
