Granulator / Shredder Knife 40.6 x 27 x 3.6 — M2 (1.3343 DMo5) for GALA machines by MetavCUT

The Granulator / Shredder Knife 40.6 x 27 x 3.6 is a heavy‑duty cutting blade designed for recycling and granulating applications, manufactured from M2 (1.3343 DMo5) high‑speed tool steel for precision cutting in GALA machines.

• Precision ground M2 tool steel
• Exact OEM fit for GALA machines
• Consistent pellet size, low dust
• Durable edge for extended service life

Engineered for reliable throughput in recycling systems

The blade serves as a central wear part in shredders and granulators, engineered to cut plastics, film, pipes and sprues into a processable size with consistent pellet quality. Made from M2 (1.3343 DMo5), the knife is ground to tight tolerances so that the cutting action remains stable across production runs. Stable cutting reduces rework and secondary processing, which in industrial recycling translates directly into measurable gains in throughput and lower reject rates. Because the geometry is matched to GALA machines, vibration and uneven wear are minimised, supporting predictable maintenance intervals.

Material properties and edge behaviour explained

M2 is a high‑speed tool steel known for a balance of hardness and toughness; in practice this means a cutting edge that resists deformation while retaining the ability to be reconditioned if required. The selected steel grade supports high mechanical and thermal loads common in granulating processes, delivering a durable edge that preserves cutting geometry. Reduced edge chipping leads to fewer fines and a lower dust fraction in the granulate, which improves melt quality downstream and reduces filtration and extrusion issues in reprocessing.

Production benefits: improved quality, uptime and efficiency

A precisely matched blade profile produces uniform particle size, which lowers screening losses and helps stabilise extrusion or pelletising lines. The process‑optimised design lowers energy peaks during cutting and decreases the frequency of unscheduled stops: both factors contribute to better overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). For operations where material purity and particle uniformity affect final product value, the advantages are direct — less contamination, reduced postcode‑sorting of off‑grade material and a steadier feed to downstream equipment.

Compatibility, maintenance logic and sourcing advantage

The knife is supplied as a ready replacement for GALA machines and is manufactured to dimensional specification 40.6 x 27 x 3.6, ensuring a clean drop‑in installation without time‑consuming fitting work. Sourcing process‑optimised wear parts from a single trusted supplier reduces administrative overhead and shortens lead times between failures. MetavCUT’s approach focuses on parts that fit precisely and endure in productive environments, reducing the total cost of tooling ownership over multiple maintenance cycles.

With our MetavCUT brand, an economical alternative to original manufacturer parts is offered: the range of process‑optimised wear parts is produced for precise fit, long life and direct suitability for productive use, providing a reliable option for workshops and recycling plants seeking robust replacements.

FAQ

What materials can this knife process effectively?
The knife, produced from M2 (1.3343 DMo5) tool steel, is intended for cutting common recycling materials such as films, pipes and sprues; the blade is specified to provide consistent results in granulating and shredding applications.

Is this a direct replacement for original GALA blades?
Yes, the blade is manufactured to the dimensional specification 40.6 x 27 x 3.6 to ensure an exact fit for GALA machines, allowing a straightforward replacement without modification.

How does the M2 material affect service life?
M2 (1.3343 DMo5) offers a balance of hardness and toughness that preserves edge geometry under repeated mechanical stress, resulting in longer intervals between replacements and more predictable maintenance scheduling.

Can the blade be reconditioned or ground on site?
The knife’s geometry and material permit regrinding where appropriate; reconditioning returns cutting performance and extends useful life, contributing to lower long‑term tooling costs.
