    • Cleaning materials
  2. Turn Off and Unplug the Granulator

    Before starting any maintenance work, ensure that the granulator is powered off and unplugged to prevent any accidental operation.

  3. Open the Granulator Housing

    Reference your granulator’s user manual to locate the screws or latches that secure the housing. Carefully remove these fasteners to access the blades.

  4. Remove Old Blades

    Using a wrench or socket set, unscrew the bolts or fasteners holding the old blades in place. Carefully take out the blades, ensuring you place them aside safely, preferably in a designated area to avoid mixed-up with new blades.

  5. Inspect and Clean the Blade Holder

    Before installing new blades, inspect the blade holder for any wear, rust, or damage. Clean the area to remove any debris or residue to ensure a proper fit for the new blades.

  6. Install New Blades

    Position the new blades in the blade holder. Make sure to orient them correctly based on the granulator’s design. Secure them in place with bolts or fasteners, tightening them evenly to avoid any imbalance.

  7. Close the Granulator Housing

    Once the new blades are securely in place, close the granulator housing, ensuring all screws or latches are fastened properly to prevent any accidental openings during operation.

  8. Test the Granulator

    Plug in the granulator and power it on. Run a small batch of material through the machine to test the new blades. Pay attention to any unusual noises or vibrations, as these could indicate improper installation.

  9. Perform Regular Maintenance Checks

    To maintain optimal performance, routinely check the condition of the blades and perform maintenance as necessary. Keeping a regular schedule will help extend the lifespan of your granulator.
