Granulator Knife 5526 — Shredder / Granulator Blade, 32 x 12 x 4 mm, M35 HSS‑Co (MetavCUT)

Granulator Knife 5526 is a specialised cutting blade for shredders and granulators, designed to deliver consistent cutting performance in industrial recycling and pelletising applications

• M35 HSS‑Co alloy for extended tool life
• Precise 32 x 12 x 4 mm ground profile
• Compatible with BKG shredders and granulators
• Optimised for consistent pellet quality

Engineered for continuous recycling throughput

The blade is manufactured from M35 HSS‑Co, a high-speed steel with cobalt alloying that improves heat tolerance and wear resistance under demanding cutting speeds. The specified 32 x 12 x 4 mm dimensions are ground to tolerances that support repeatable cutting geometry, which in turn stabilises material flow through the machine. For operators concerned with process reliability, the combination of robust alloy and accurate geometry reduces unplanned stops and supports steady production output.

Better granulate quality with less dust and fines

A precisely formed cutting edge promotes uniform strand and pellet size, contributing directly to consistent pellet quality and lower proportions of fines and dust. In granulating and shredding processes this means fewer downstream screening interventions and cleaner regrind. The improved cut quality also helps maintain melt and extrusion parameters when the reprocessed material is returned to production, aiding both product quality and process efficiency.

Designed to reduce maintenance frequency and downtime

Using a cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel enhances edge retention during continuous operation, which extends service intervals and lowers the frequency of part changes. Predictable wear characteristics allow maintenance planning rather than reactive replacement, supporting higher overall equipment effectiveness. The robust material choice is a rational investment for workshops and recyclers seeking long-term operational stability and reduced total cost of ownership.

Versatile application across recycling processes

These knives are intended for installation in shredders, cutting mills and granulating systems where plastics, films, pipes and plates are processed. The geometry and material are optimised for cutting polymeric wastes into manageable sizes and for slicing melt-strands into pellets after extrusion. The blade performs well across typical recycling feedstocks, supporting both size reduction and pelletising stages of material recovery.

Fitment and practical considerations for integration

Compatibility with BKG machines is specified to simplify procurement and replacement; the blade’s dimensions and mounting geometry match common holder designs used in industrial granulators. The precise manufacturing reduces the need for adjustment at installation and helps re-establish nominal cutting clearances quickly. For integration planning, the technical data below provides the key values required for checking fit and replacement intervals.

FAQ

What material is the blade made from?
The blade is manufactured from M35 HSS‑Co, giving the Granulator Knife 5526 improved heat resistance and wear performance for continuous operation.

Is this knife compatible with BKG equipment?
Yes — the 5526 blade is specified for installation in BKG shredders and granulators and matches common mounting geometries used by those machines.

Which materials can be processed with this knife?
The knife is suitable for plastics, films, pipes and plates in recycling lines, supporting both coarse size reduction and strand pelletising stages.

How does the knife influence dust and fines?
The precise ground profile and sharp cutting geometry reduce material fragmentation, resulting in fewer fines and a cleaner granulate fraction.

What are the exact dimensions for ordering and fit checks?
Dimensions are 32 x 12 x 4 mm as listed for the 5526 blade; these values are used to verify fitment in the tool holder.
