Shredding and Granulator Knife 40.6 x 16.5 x 3.6 – MetavCUT (1.3207 EW9Co10)

A Shredding and Granulator Knife 40.6 x 16.5 x 3.6 designed as a wear part for GALA recycling and granulating machines, optimised for uniform pellet output and industrial production runs

• Precision-ground cutting edge for uniform pellets
• Compatible with GALA recycling and granulating machinery
• Manufactured from 1.3207 EW9Co10 cobalt tool steel
• Reduced dust generation for cleaner production runs

Consistent pellet quality through precision edge technology

The combination of a precision-ground geometry and a robust material specification ensures stable cutting performance even under continuous load. Manufactured from 1.3207 EW9Co10, this knife retains hardness and edge stability at the temperatures and stresses common in recycling and granulating operations, which translates into uniform pellets and fewer fines. Consistent chip or pellet size reduces downstream sieving and reprocessing, improving overall throughput and lowering sorting costs.

Seamless integration with GALA shredders and granulators

Designed specifically for use in GALA shredders, granulators and pelletising systems, the component performs the core function of cutting or shearing plastic feedstock into a controlled size. In shredders the blade reduces bulk waste and tough parts to a manageable fraction; in granulators the knife precisely granulates strands or melt fronts into reprocessable pellets. The clear match to GALA machine interfaces shortens fitting times and helps maintain continuous operation during production shifts.

Lower maintenance frequency and improved process economy

A wear part engineered for industrial recycling environments reduces unplanned downtime and the frequency of replacements. The material choice and heat treatment yield longer service life, so fewer spare blades are required in inventory while maintaining cutting performance. Improved blade life contributes to higher overall equipment effectiveness and supports recycling efficiency by generating cleaner regranulate with less dust. MetavCUT's process-oriented design philosophy means wear parts are produced to fit and perform in sustained, productive use. We offer a cost-effective alternative to original manufacturer parts: MetavCUT wear parts are precisely matched, durable and developed specifically for productive operation.

FAQ

What machines is this knife compatible with?
The knife is specified for use in GALA recycling equipment and granulator systems; the MetavCUT Shredding and Granulator Knife 40.6 x 16.5 x 3.6 matches GALA interfaces and applications.

What is the blade material and why does it matter?
Constructed from 1.3207 EW9Co10, the blade material provides high-temperature edge stability and wear resistance suitable for continuous cutting in recycling and pelletising processes.

Can this knife be used for different plastic types?
Yes; the component is intended for general plastic recycling tasks in shredders and granulators and is effective on common processing feedstocks such as film, sprues and pipe offcuts.

How does the knife affect dust and fines during processing?
The precision-ground cutting edge reduces shearing and fragmentation, which leads to lower dust generation and a cleaner pellet product requiring less downstream cleaning.

Is the knife serviceable or re-sharpenable?
The MetavCUT knife is a wear part designed for productive operation; re-sharpening depends on workshop capability and process economics, but the material and geometry are chosen to maximise service intervals.
