How do you sharpen granulator blades?

As mentioned previously, granulator blades endure some of the most challenging conditions. Unfortunately, granulator blade sharpening is unavoidable and will mean the machine is down for a short period (depending on your chosen companies turnaround). However, it is an essential service that needs to be performed, increasing both the granulator machine’s life and output.

To sharpen your granulator blades we need to clean the knife to remove any unwanted residue. Afterwards measuring the edges will allow us to see the smallest amount of material that can be removed. Next, the blade is held in place and ground removing the smallest amount possible to avoid excess material loss.

Our experience has found that you can reuse granulator blades approximately ten times throughout their life. Making granulator blade sharpening services a crucial aspect of any operations strategy.
