DESCRIPTION
Conair S Series
Conair S Series granulators are low speed granulators,
designed to granulate, injection moulded or blow
moulded plastic residue, directly adjacent to an injection
moulding or a blow moulding machine.
The function of the granulator can be described as
follows:
1. The plastic residue, which must be free from metal
and contamination, is fed into the granulator’s funnel.
2. The plastic residue falls through the hopper and down
into the cutter housing.
Information! The granulator can be provided with an
Masher-system. The Masher-system is pushing the
plastic residue down to the cutter housing.
3. The cutter housing contains fixed knives and a rotor.
Rotating knife segments are mounted on the rotor. The
rotor is also provided with one or several rotating feed
hooks. The plastic residue is caught by the rotating
feed hook(s) and granulated (cut up) between the
rotating knife segments on the rotor and the fixed
knives in the cutter housing. The cutter housing is also
provided with scrapers. The scrapers prevent finished
granulate from rejecting. Rotating knife segments,
rotating feed hooks, fixed knives and scrapers must be
reversed, grinded or replaced as necessary.
Important! The granulator must never be used with
blunt knives. Blunt knives cause abnormal wear and
damages the granulator.
4. The size of the granulate (the cut up plastic residue) is
determined by the comb size of the knives and the
scrapers. The knives and scrapers can easily be
changed to give the required granulate size.
5. The granulate passes through the cutter housing down
to the granule bin, which collects the finished granu-
late.
6. The granule bin can be emptied manually or by means
of an airveyor.

Suffix 1, 2, 3 and 4
The suffix 1, 2, 3 and 4 refers to the numbers of rotating
feed hooks in the cutter housing.
Additional suffix -AV
A granulator with additional suffix -AV is provided with
an airveyor. The airveyor empties the granule bin with a
pulse of compressed air. The compressed air pulse is
controlled by a pause-pulse relay. The pause-pulse relay
is adjustable. The pause-pulse relay must be adjusted to
correspond to the delivered granulator’s size, screen hole
dimension and volume of plastic material that are to be
granulated.

The cutter housing’s upper frame can be opened to
facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
>Page 6:2 “Open the cutter housing”.
Note! When the cutter housing’s upper frame is opened, it
must be manually locked by a piece of wood.
A granulator with additional suffix “Twin” is provided
with a doubled cutter housing.
>Page 2:8 “Additional suffix Twin”.
Sealings
There is one sealing in each short block of the cutter
housing. The left sealing is a left-hand threaded and the
right sealing is right-hand threaded. The reversed thread
deflects fed material and prevent it from penetrating the
bearings.
The sealings must be regularly checked and replaced as
necessary. >Page 9:25 “Rotor”.
Note! The left and the right sealing must not be mixed up.
If the left and the right sealing are mixed up, the granula-
tor might get seriously damaged during operation, due to
the material leaking into the bearings.

knives, depending on the type of the cutter housing.
>Page 2:9 “Cutter housing”.
>Page 2:8 “Suffix 1, 2, 3 and 4”.
The fixed knives are fixed with washers and tightening
screws. >Page 7:15 “Install the fixed knives and the
scrapers”.
The fixed knives are available in two different comb
sizes. The comb size of the knives and the comb size of
the scrapers affects the quality of the finished granulate.
>Page 9:26-9:28 “Fixed knives”.
The fixed knives are reversible. This means that the fixed
knife has two cutting edges and can be reversed once
before grinding or discarding is necessary. The granulator
must never be used with blunt knives. Blunt knives cause
abnormal wear and damages the granulator.
>Page 7:17 “Grind the fixed knives”.
The fixed knives can be provided with IMD technology.
>Page 2:25 “IMD-system”.
Note! Fixed knives with IMD technology are reversible,
but not grindable.
Scrapers
The scrapers are installed in the cutter housing on the
opposite side of the fixed knives. The scrapers prevent
finished granulate from rejecting. The scrapers are fixed
with washers and tightening screws. >Page 7:15 “Install
the fixed knives and the scrapers”.
The scrapers are available in two different comb sizes.
The comb size of the knives and the comb size of the
scrapers affects the quality of the finished granulate.

With Masher-system
The granulator can be provided with an Masher-system.
Note! Masher-system is only optional in model S918.
The Masher-system, which is installed inside the hopper,
pushes the plastic residue down to the cutter housing.
When granulating bulky plastic residue a Masher-system
increases the efficiency considerably.
The Masher-system is controlled by means of an “ABS-
system”.

DESCRIPTION
Gear motor
The granulator is driven by an electrical gear motor.
Optional motor power: 0.75 kW, 1.5 kW or 2.2 kW.
Motor power and motor frequency are specified on the
motor’s machine plate.
The gear motor is filled with oil. In normal operation, the
oil does not need to be refilled / changed. If refilling /
changing of oil should be necessary, use the type of oil
specified on the gear motor’s type plate.
The oil level in the gear motor must be checked regularly.

>Page 9:31-9:33 “Transmission”.
Coupling
The coupling inside the transmission is provided with a
plastic damper. The plastic damper must be regularly
checked and replaced as necessary.
>Page 7:9 ”Check the transmission”.
>Page 9:25 “Rotor”.
Bearings
All bearings in the granulator are lubricated for life and
must not be re-greased. >Page 9:25 “Rotor”.
Note! If material get into the bearing housing, the
material might melt and cause serious or irreparable
damage to the bearings. There is one sealing in each short
block of the cutter housing. The left sealing is a left-hand
threaded and the right sealing is right-hand threaded. The
reversed thread deflects fed material and prevent it from
penetrating the bearings. The sealings must be regularly
checked and replaced as necessary. >Page 2:9 “Sealings”.
