MetavCUT granulator/shredder knife 40.6 x 20.6 x 3.6 mm — EW9Co10 wear-resistant steel

MetavCUT granulator/shredder knife 40.6 x 20.6 x 3.6 mm is a purpose-built cutting blade for GALA recycling and pelletising machinery, designed to reduce plastic waste and convert extruded strands into uniform regranulate.

• High-wear EW9Co10 tool steel
• Exact size 40.6 x 20.6 x 3.6 mm
• Compatible with GALA granulators and shredders
• Sharp ground edge for clean cuts

Reliable cutting performance for continuous operation

The blade is manufactured from 1.3207 EW9Co10, a cobalt-alloyed tool steel chosen for wear resistance under high-stress conditions. This material selection keeps the cutting edge stable at elevated temperatures and during abrasive processing, which translates into fewer production interruptions and longer intervals between regrinds. The engineering focus is on consistent mechanical properties, which supports steady throughput in recycling lines and granulators.

Consistent pellet quality with reduced dust and fines

A precisely ground geometry delivers a clean shearing action, producing uniform particle sizes and minimising fines and dust generation. Uniform output simplifies downstream screening and drying processes, improving bulk material handling and product quality. The controlled cutting behaviour helps maintain extrusion and pelletising efficiency, reducing waste and promoting predictable process control.

Exact dimensions for straightforward replacement

With nominal dimensions 40.6 x 20.6 x 3.6 mm, the knife is manufactured to tight tolerances so replacement is reproducible and quick. Proper fitment reduces vibration and blade play, which in turn preserves gearboxes and bearings in the cutting unit. The dimensional accuracy supports repeatable assembly and consistent blade-to-counterknife engagement, essential for both shredders and granulators.

Durability that lowers lifecycle costs

The material composition and thermal treatment focus on achieving a balance between hardness and fracture toughness. This results in blades that resist edge chipping while maintaining a serviceable cutting angle for longer. Longer blade life reduces tooling exchanges and maintenance windows, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership for recycling operations and pelletising lines.

Application scope and compatibility

Designed specifically for use in GALA recycling systems, shredders and pelletisers, the blade suits a wide range of polymer processing tasks, from film and sheet to sprues and extrusion strands. Its geometry and material are selected to handle abrasive and soft plastics alike, enabling versatile use across mixed-waste or dedicated production lines. Where process consistency and cut quality are priorities, this knife performs reliably.

FAQ

What machines is this knife compatible with?
The MetavCUT granulator/shredder knife is compatible with recycling systems, shredding lines and pelletiser units from GALA and is designed to match the original blade envelope and fixation.

Which materials can be processed with this blade?
The knife is intended for typical plastic waste streams used in recycling and granulation; its EW9Co10 composition performs well across a range of polymers and contaminated feedstocks.

How does the material affect service life?
The 1.3207 EW9Co10 steel provides increased wear resistance and thermal stability, which gives the knife a longer cutting life compared with non‑alloyed steels under similar operating conditions.

Can the blade be resharpened?
Yes, the blade geometry permits regrinding; resharpening restores edge performance and extends the operational lifespan of the MetavCUT knife when performed to original profiles.

What improvement in output quality can be expected?
Using a precisely ground MetavCUT granulator/shredder knife typically reduces fines and produces a more uniform particle distribution, supporting improved downstream processing and consistent pellet quality.
