Zerkleinerungsmesser / Granuliermesser 40.6 x 20.6 x 3.6 – Granulator knife in HSS M2 by MetavCUT

Zerkleinerungsmesser / Granuliermesser 40.6 x 20.6 x 3.6 is a precision granulator blade designed for GALA recycling and granulation equipment, offering robust cutting performance in continuous production environments

• Precision HSS M2 construction for extended life
• Exact fit for GALA shredders and granulators
• Consistent pellet quality with low dust formation
• Optimised for productive, continuous operation

Maximised uptime through precision material and design

The blade is forged from M2 (1.3343 / DMo5) high-speed steel, a grade chosen for its hardness and heat resistance under demanding cutting conditions. This M2 composition supports sustained sharpness and wear resistance during continuous operation, which in turn reduces the frequency of changes and machine downtime. The specified dimensions 40.6 x 20.6 x 3.6 ensure a predictable contact geometry with the counter blade, contributing to a uniform cutting gap and therefore stable pellet quality. For procurement planning, the combination of material and geometry translates into fewer interruptions and more consistent throughput on the production line.

Clean cuts and process benefits derived from accurate fit

A blade that matches the original equipment's mounting points and tolerances preserves the kinematics of the rotor and stator, improving cut consistency and lowering fines and dust. The MetavCUT granulator blade has been manufactured with tight tolerances to match GALA machines, enabling even shear forces and minimised vibration. The result is an improved downstream process, where fewer thin particles and a homogeneous granulate size simplify sieving and reprocessing. This measurable improvement in process stability supports a higher yield of saleable regranulate and reduces the need for corrective sorting.

Application suitability and handling guidance

Designed for use in shredders, cutting mills and pelletisers, the blade is suitable for the reduction of various plastic waste forms such as film, tubes, sprues and plates within recycling operations. Its robust HSS composition is intended for standard recycling feeds and continuous operation; however, material-specific concerns (for example, heavy metal fillers or abrasive glass fibre content) can accelerate wear. For installation, ensure the cutting gap is checked after fitting and that blades are mounted following the equipment manufacturer's torque specifications. Regular monitoring of the cutting edge and scheduled sharpening cycles maintain optimal performance and avoid process surprises.

MetavCUT provides an economical alternative to original manufacturer parts: process-optimised wear parts are precisely matched, durable and designed for productive use.

FAQ

What material is used for the blade and why is it chosen?
The blade is manufactured from M2 (1.3343 / DMo5) high-speed steel; this grade provides a balance of hardness and heat resistance suited to continuous cutting tasks typical in granulators and shredders.

Is this blade compatible with GALA machines?
Yes, the Zerkleinerungsmesser / Granuliermesser 40.6 x 20.6 x 3.6 is produced to fit GALA recycling and granulation systems and is specified to match mounting and clearance requirements for those machines.

What improvements in process quality can be expected after fitting this blade?
Fitting a precisely matched MetavCUT blade reduces dust and fines, produces more uniform pellets and stabilises throughput, which simplifies downstream sorting and increases usable regranulate yield.

Can this blade handle abrasive or fibre-reinforced plastics?
The blade is suitable for general recycling feeds; however, highly abrasive fillers or significant glass-fibre content will increase wear rates and may require more frequent sharpening or a specialised grade.
