APL002 Granulator and Shredder Blade — 40 x 25 x 2.8/1.7 x 40D, M2 (1.3343 DMo5) by MetavCUT

A robust replacement blade for ECON recycling and granulation systems, designed to deliver uniform cuts and reliable wear performance in continuous industrial operation.

• Hard M2 (1.3343 DMo5) tool steel
• Precision 40 x 25 x 2.8/1.7 x 40D dimensions
• Compatible with ECON recycling and granulator machines

Consistent pellet quality for steady production flow

The APL002 blade is engineered to produce uniform pellets and granules, reducing rework and improving downstream processing. Fitted in shredders and granulators, the cutting geometry promotes a clean shear that helps to minimise fines and dust. By achieving a consistent strand or chip size, the blade supports predictable melting and extrusion behaviour, which in turn helps stabilise cycle times and reduces material losses during reprocessing.

Durable high-speed steel that extends runtime

Manufactured from M2 (1.3343 DMo5) high-speed steel, the blade offers a balanced combination of hardness and toughness suitable for abrasive and intermittent loads typical in recycling environments. The selected alloyation improves resistance to wear and chipping while allowing for economical regrinding during scheduled maintenance. For operations that prioritise uptime, this material choice supports longer intervals between exchanges and conserves tool inventories.

Precision fit that reduces changeover time

Exact adherence to the specified dimensions — 40 x 25 x 2.8/1.7 x 40D — ensures a snug, repeatable fit in ECON housings and carrier plates. A precise fit keeps blade clearance uniform across the cutting circle, reducing vibration and uneven wear that can shorten service life. When blades are correctly matched to the rotor, the result is lower noise, less dust generation and fewer unplanned stops for adjustment, improving overall equipment effectiveness.

Practical advantages for recyclers and processors

As a dedicated wear part for shredders, granulators and pelletisers, the blade is designed for operational reliability rather than decorative finishes. The geometry and edge preparation focus on performance: sharp cutting edges for clean separation, dimensional accuracy for uniform product and a substrate that supports economical refurbishment. For facilities processing films, pipes, plates or sprues, these attributes translate into higher throughput and more consistent regranulate quality.

Installation and lifecycle considerations

Replacement intervals depend on processed material and operating conditions; however, the combination of wear-resistant M2 steel and correct mounting practice leads to predictable maintenance cycles. Blades can be reground where appropriate to restore cutting geometry; maintaining documentation of run hours and processed tonnage will help in planning reorder and regrind schedules. When in doubt about suitability for a specific material stream or machine setup, technical specifications and compatibility notes are available from our product advisors.

FAQ

Is this blade compatible with all ECON granulators and shredders?
The APL002 granulator and shredder blade is specified for use in ECON recycling and granulator machines; compatibility is confirmed by matching the 40 x 25 x 2.8/1.7 x 40D dimensions and mounting pattern to the target machine model.

What advantages does M2 (1.3343 DMo5) offer for recycling blades?
M2 (1.3343 DMo5) provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness appropriate for abrasive polymer streams; the APL002 blade uses this alloy to extend service intervals and allow controlled regrinding.

Can the blade be resharpened or refurbished?
The APL002 blade is suitable for refurbishment by regrinding where the parent material remains within tolerances; regrinding restores cutting geometry and can extend the component’s useful life.

Which materials can be processed with this blade?
This blade is intended for typical recycling tasks such as plastics, films, pipes and sprues; cutting performance will depend on material composition and contaminants — the APL002 is optimised for general recycling streams in ECON equipment.

How does the blade influence dust and fines generation?
The precision geometry and sharp edge of this blade reduce tearing and promote clean cuts, which helps to lower dust and fine particle generation and yields more consistent granulate quality.
