MetavCUT granulator knife 40.6 x 8.16 x 3.6 mm – M2 (1.3343) HSS

MetavCUT granulator knife 40.6 x 8.16 x 3.6 mm designed for robust shredding and granulating tasks in GALA recycling systems, providing reliable, wear‑resistant cutting for production environments

• Solid HSS M2 (1.3343) construction
• Exact 40.6 x 8.16 x 3.6 mm dimensions
• Compatible with GALA recycling equipment
• Process‑optimised for consistent pellet quality

Consistent pellet quality through optimised cutting geometry

The blade is made from M2 (1.3343) high‑speed steel (HSS), a material chosen for its balance of hardness and toughness, which supports a stable cutting edge under continuous load. In granulation and shredding, a sharp, well‑ground edge reduces fines and variation in particle size; this results in a more uniform regranulate and lower downstream filtration or sieving effort. The combination of material and finish is intended to produce clean cuts, minimise thermal damage to polymers and reduce dust formation, which in turn preserves melt quality and simplifies reprocessing steps.

Reliable fit and quick replacement to reduce downtime

Manufactured to the precise 40.6 x 8.16 x 3.6 mm specification, the knife enables fast, repeatable installation in GALA machines without additional machining. The exact dimensions and consistent tolerances mean that set‑up and balancing routines can be completed faster, so the line returns to rated throughput more quickly. Compatibility with GALA recycling and granulator units is a defining feature of this replacement part; the MetavCUT design focuses on straightforward fitment and reliable engagement with existing tool holders, supporting stable operation and lower mean time to repair.

Designed for heavy use in recycling and granulation

These blades are intended as central wear parts for shredders, cutting mills and pelletisers where plastics such as film, sprues, pipes and plates are processed. The geometry and HSS composition are tailored to withstand repetitive shear and impact forces encountered in primary size reduction and post‑extrusion pelletising. Where thermal stress or abrasion are factors, the choice of M2 (1.3343) improves resistance to edge degradation while maintaining the toughness necessary to avoid premature chipping, helping to keep production runs uninterrupted and product quality constant.

Practical benefits: maintenance, handling and process optimisation

Using a standardised, process‑optimised replacement blade simplifies spare management and inventory planning. The robust construction supports extended service intervals, and the predictable wear behaviour of M2 (1.3343) HSS allows maintenance schedules to be based on measured runtime rather than estimates. For operations aiming to raise yield and reduce waste, switching to a precisely made replacement part can lower the incidence of reject material and improve overall process efficiency. MetavCUT wear parts are designed to be a functional, durable option for productive industrial environments.

FAQ

What materials can this blade process effectively?
The MetavCUT granulator knife (SKU GALA--40.6x8.16x3.6-M2-13343-DMo5) is intended for size reduction of typical plastics encountered in recycling operations, including film, sprues and rigid components, where HSS knives deliver reliable cutting performance.

Is this knife a direct replacement for the original GALA part?
Yes, the knife is manufactured to the exact 40.6 x 8.16 x 3.6 mm specification to fit GALA machines as a drop‑in replacement, enabling quick exchange without additional modifications.

How does the M2 (1.3343) material affect service life?
The use of M2 (1.3343) HSS gives a balance of hardness and toughness that extends edge life under abrasive and impact conditions typical for recycling and granulating, resulting in predictable wear and fewer unscheduled changes.

Will the blade reduce dust and fines compared with worn cutters?
A correctly resharpened or new, precisely ground MetavCUT blade improves cut quality and particle uniformity, which commonly reduces dust and fines compared with degraded cutting edges.

Can the blade be reground or resharpened?
Yes, the M2 (1.3343) high‑speed steel composition is suitable for regrounding; follow established shop procedures to restore the correct cutting geometry and edge condition.
