5553 — Shredding and granulator knife, M35 HSS‑Co, 46 x 22 x 3 (MetavCUT)

The 5553 is a robust shredding and granulator knife engineered for processing plastic waste and regrind in BKG recycling and granulating equipment, combining high wear resistance with dimensional accuracy for repeatable cutting results

• M35 HSS‑Co high‑performance steel
• Precision 46 x 22 x 3 dimensions
• Designed for BKG recycling systems
• Improved edge life and consistent cuts

Consistent cutting performance from premium tool steel

The use of M35 HSS‑Co offers a proven balance of hardness and toughness that sustains sharpness under continuous load, reducing the frequency of change‑overs and tool failures. In practical terms, this means fewer unscheduled stops and a more predictable maintenance rhythm. The alloy’s cobalt content supports thermal stability during high‑speed operation, which preserves the cut quality and contributes to edge life that withstands abrasive and contaminated streams often encountered in recycling lines. For operators seeking measurable gains in availability and throughput, the material choice directly translates into operational certainty.

Exact geometry for reliable pellet uniformity and low fines

A precisely machined 46 x 22 x 3 profile ensures a repeatable cutting geometry when paired with the correct rotor configuration, improving particle homogeneity and reducing dust generation. The dimensional accuracy promotes stable shear conditions in both shredders and granulators, which assists in achieving consistent pellet size and lower downstream filtration loads. Compatibility with BKG equipment is assured by the dimensional match and tolerance control, so integration is straightforward and does not require extensive rework. Reduced fines and better strand behaviour simplify drying and extrusion steps, delivering tangible savings in process handling and rework.

Built for uptime, easy replacement and process optimisation

The geometry and finish of this knife prioritise simple fitment and reliable seating in the holder, supporting rapid replacements and minimal alignment effort. The design aims to lower handling time during service intervals and to secure a uniform cutting edge across the rotor. The 5553 variant is particularly suited for continuous production environments where downtime is costly and predictable wear cycles are key to scheduling maintenance. With MetavCUT’s process‑focused approach, operators receive a cost‑effective alternative to original parts without compromising on fit, longevity or cutting performance — our process‑optimised wear parts are precisely fitting, long‑lasting and developed specifically for productive industrial use.
