ECON04 granulation and shredding knife, M2 tool steel, 40 x 20 x 1.6 x 40D — MetavCUT

The ECON04 is a granulating and shredding knife designed for ECON recycling, shredding and pelletising equipment, optimised to deliver uniform particle size and lower dust generation in plastic reprocessing applications.

• Precision ground M2 tool steel
• Dimensions 40 x 20 x 1.6 x 40D
• Compatible with ECON recycling machines
• Reduced dust and uniform pellet output

Consistent pellet quality for reliable production

Precision manufacturing of the blade geometry delivers uniform pellets and a stable production process. Manufactured from M2 1.3343 DMo5, the knife retains a sharp cutting edge under continuous load, which results in fewer fines and more consistent downstream processing. For operators, this means less screen clogging and a lower reject rate; for procurement, it translates into predictable output and reduced waste disposal costs. The cutting behaviour is tuned for common recycling tasks including films, pipes and sprues, ensuring that the processed material meets the requirements for further extrusion or regranulation.

Durable tool steel that extends service intervals

The choice of M2 1.3343 DMo5 high-speed tool steel provides a balance between edge retention and toughness that is suitable for abrasive and contaminated plastics streams. Heat-treatment and grinding yield a wear-resistant surface that delays the drop in cutting performance and extends intervals between resharpening or replacement. As a result, maintenance cycles are lengthened and machine uptime is improved. The material properties also reduce the frequency of emergency stoppages caused by blunt tools, supporting continuous operation in high-throughput recycling lines.

Exact fit for ECON systems and straightforward integration

Designed specifically for ECON machines, the knife’s 40 x 20 x 1.6 x 40D specification ensures a precise fit and repeatable alignment in the knife carrier. A precise match reduces vibration and promotes even blade wear, which in turn protects the rotor and feed components from uneven loading. Because the geometry is engineered to the original tool envelope, installation is straightforward and does not require modifications to the holder. This compatibility supports a rapid return to production after replacement, maintaining processing stability on shredders, granulators and pelletisers.

Fewer process issues and easier material handling

Sharp, accurately ground cutting edges reduce the generation of fine particles and dust, improving material handling and the quality of the regranulate. Lower dust levels also ease filtration requirements and minimise housekeeping effort around the machine. The combination of good edge stability and correct cutting geometry supports a cleaner cut, producing strands and chips that are easier to dry and convey, thereby streamlining subsequent processing steps and improving overall throughput.

Practical lifecycle and value for procurement

As a process-optimised wear part from MetavCUT, the knife offers an economical alternative to original manufacturer components while retaining the core functional characteristics required for industrial recycling. The focus on durable steel and consistent geometry reduces total cost of ownership by extending service life and cutting maintenance hours. Decision-makers benefit from predictable performance and simplified stock management when selecting a standardised replacement blade for ECON equipment.

FAQ

What materials can this knife process effectively?
The ECON04 granulation and shredding knife, manufactured in M2 1.3343 DMo5 by MetavCUT, is intended for a broad range of plastic waste such as films, pipes and sprues where reliable cutting and uniform pellet formation are required.

How does the ECON04 affect pellet quality and dust levels?
A precisely ground geometry and wear-resistant M2 steel minimise fines and dust, producing more uniform pellets and improving downstream handling compared with blunt or ill-fitting blades.

Is the knife a direct replacement for original ECON parts?
The knife is specified for use in ECON recycling and pelletising machines and is supplied to match the required 40 x 20 x 1.6 x 40D envelope for straightforward installation and alignment.

How often will the blade need replacement or resharpening?
Service intervals depend on feed material and contamination; the ECON04’s durable M2 1.3343 DMo5 composition is selected to extend edge life and reduce unplanned replacements in typical recycling workloads.
