A new series of slow-running granulators is now available in two sizes: HGM 60/100 and HGM 60/145. The so-called Hog shredder (HGM; photo) is a single-rotor, size-reduction machine that combines the advantages of a granulator (size-reduction by knife cutting) and those of a shredder. The system handles difficult materials, especially viscous ones or those containing many foreign bodies where the service life of knives would be too short with traditional granulator. The Hog shredder can be used in both dry and wet operation. Typical applications include pre-shredded tires, metal-reinforced rubber or plastic parts and shredded waste from car recycling. — Herbold Meckesheim GmbH, Meckesheim, Germany
