GALA Shredder / Granulator Knife 40.6 x 20.6 x 3.6/2.1 mm – 1.3207 EW9Co10 (MetavCUT)

The GALA Shredder / Granulator Knife is a replacement cutting blade for GALA recycling and pelletising equipment, engineered for continuous material reduction and consistent pellet quality.

• Hard-wearing 1.3207 EW9Co10 alloy
• Precision fit for GALA recycling systems
• Dimensions: 40.6 x 20.6 x 3.6/2.1 mm

Consistent cutting performance for production continuity

The knife is manufactured from 1.3207 EW9Co10, a cobalt-bearing tool alloy chosen for its high wear resistance and edge stability in abrasive polymer processing. In shredding and granulating applications, a durable cutting edge reduces the frequency of interventions and supports a steady production flow. The blade design focuses on clean shearing rather than tearing, which helps achieve consistent particle size and lowers the risk of process interruptions caused by excessive fines or dust.

Material and geometry that extend service intervals

With the specified dimensions of 40.6 x 20.6 x 3.6/2.1 mm, the knife presents an optimised cross-section that balances rigidity and cutting geometry. The stepped thickness profile (3.6/2.1 mm) provides a reinforced section for mounting while maintaining a refined cutting clearance. This geometry contributes to longer edge life under typical recycling loads and simplifies replacement planning, enabling maintenance teams to predict wear cycles more reliably and reduce unplanned downtime.

Exact fit to reduce changeover time and waste

Designed for direct compatibility with GALA shredders and granulators, this blade offers a precision fit that eliminates adaptors or modification work. The accurate fitment supports rapid exchange during scheduled stops, so machine availability improves and scrap rates fall. When knives match machine tolerances, the cutting gap remains uniform, which directly benefits downstream pellet quality and reduces rework or additional screening steps.

Operational benefits and workplace considerations

Using a purpose-made replacement blade improves operational safety and process reliability: sharper, well-matched knives require lower cutting force, which can reduce drive load and energy consumption during heavy-duty processing. The robust material composition also means fewer blade changes overall, supporting a more predictable spare-parts strategy. As a practical note, blades should be handled and mounted according to machine maker guidelines to preserve the cutting edge and ensure safe operation.

FAQ

What materials is this knife suitable for processing?
The knife, made from 1.3207 EW9Co10, is intended for typical recycling applications in GALA shredders and granulators and performs well on a range of common thermoplastics and recycling feedstocks.

How does the 3.6/2.1 mm thickness profile affect performance?
The stepped profile balances mounting strength and cutting clearance, which helps maintain blade stability while providing an effective cutting edge for granulating and shredding tasks.

Can this blade be reground or resharpened?
Resharpening is possible depending on wear state; however, manufacturers typically recommend inspection and, when necessary, replacement to preserve original tolerances and ensure reliable performance.

Does the knife require special mounting hardware?
No special hardware is required when replacing with this exact-fit blade in compatible GALA machines; the precision fit is intended to match the machine’s original mounting points.

How does using this replacement blade affect pellet quality?
A well-matched, sharp blade promotes uniform cutting and contributes to consistent particle size, which supports downstream processing and improves the overall quality of regranulate.
