HBM Plastics & Packaging Technologies -
Neue Herbold, of Reihen, Germany, are global specialists in the production of size reduction machinery such as granulators (pipe and profile), grinders, pulverisers, screw-shedders, bale-breakers, hammer mills, shredders, polystrene-shredders and guillotines.
The specialised ZM pulveriser range has been designed for semi-rigid, brittle and impact resistant materials where a powdered product is required. Granulates of 6-8mm are fed via a vibrofeeder, to high speed rotating discs that create a powder product of between 300-1000 microns.
The pulveriser is typically used to pulverise LDPE, HDPE, UPVC, PC and various other types of plastic materials and can process up to 1000kg per hour.
Plastic material is fed centrally between a fixed and high speed rotating pulveriser disc, with centifugal effect carrying the material through the processing zone before being discharged from the machine pneumatically. The particle size of the product is determined by the type of material being processed, the disc construction and the proessing gap between the discs.
Advantages and features of the Neue Herbold Pulverisers include:-
- Long service life of the discs between resharpening intervals
- Fast and easy replacement and adjustments of discs
- Low residence time equating to lower thermal stress on the process material
- Cost effective operation
Neue Herbold is represented by HBM Plastics Technologies in Oceania.
