MetavCUT granulator and shredder knife — 40.6 x 32.4 x 3.6/2.1 mm, M2 (1.3343 / DMo5) high-speed steel

The MetavCUT granulator and shredder knife designed for heavy-duty recycling applications, providing a precise cutting edge and dependable performance in GALA shredders and pelletisers.

• M2 high-speed steel for sustained edge retention
• Precision fit for GALA shredders and granulators
• Dimensions 40.6 x 32.4 x 3.6/2.1 mm
• Low dust, consistent granulate quality

Consistent granulate quality through precise cutting

A sharp, accurately ground cutting edge is the primary factor for uniform pellet size and reduced fines. Manufactured from M2 (1.3343 / DMo5) high-speed steel, this blade delivers sustained edge retention under continuous operation. The even knife geometry minimises material smearing and thermal build-up, which supports a stable extrusion and granulation process and results in consistent granulate that simplifies downstream processing and recycling quality control.

Built for continuous production and low maintenance

The blade geometry and material choice aim to extend service intervals and simplify maintenance. High-speed steel provides a balance between hardness and toughness, offering wear resistance while remaining suitable for straightforward regrinding where required. Using a correctly profiled spare blade reduces vibration and bearing load in the rotor assembly, helping to protect the machine and to avoid costly unscheduled stops—factors that improve overall equipment effectiveness and operational economy.

Compatibility reduces setup time and rejects

Delivered in the exact dimensions stated, the knife ensures a precision fit with GALA shredders, granulators and pelletising systems, cutting installation time and the need for adaptations. A good fit contributes to consistent knife-to-knife clearance, which is crucial for low dust generation and minimal edge damage. This fit is particularly beneficial in mixed-plastic handling where a steady cut profile reduces variation in melt flow and improves the downstream pellet appearance.

Designed for recycling operations and easier logistics

As a purpose-made wear part for recycling plants, this cutter supports the robust demands of processing films, pipes, sprues and other production offcuts. The material and manufacturing quality aim to reduce frequency of part changes and to maintain throughput. With MetavCUT wear parts, supply chain reliability is complemented by technical know-how from Metav Werkzeuge in Emmerich, ensuring that replacement components are process-optimised, dimensionally accurate and intended for productive use. With our MetavCUT brand, an economical alternative to original manufacturer parts is provided: process-optimised wear parts that are precise, durable and developed specifically for productive application.
