The latest generation of Getecha granulators

The thermoforming for trays to boxes of chocolates like closures for tubs of muesli or cardboar for screws, both is the technology predestined for the mass production of packaging of thin wall in PET or polypropylene sheet.

The Mission of the highly automated feeding granulators of Getecha is to recycle waste material resulting (excess mesh, cuts in the stock, pieces of sheet) directly and continuously. 17 Machines of this German company's Aschaffenburg, divided into four series, offer a suitable solution for virtually any need.

RS 3000 / RS 3800 series are suitable for widths of power of 390 to 1,500 mm and maximum volumes of production of 1,300 kg/h. They are machines of rotors for three blades with a radius of 300 and 380 mm cutting, and are used for granular waste of sheet. The largest of the RS 4500 series models cover maximum volumes of up to 1,500 kg/h and widths of 580 to 1.480 food production. Their blades rotate diameter of 450 mm. The compact series RS 2400, which will launch soon, is aimed at widths of feeding of 210 to 900 and peaks in production of 300 kg/h.

The granulators of food Getecha are of modular construction that, regardless of the model chosen, can adapt to the environment of work through various feeding systems. Depending on what the user wants to obtain from its plant termoconformadora, for example sheet with thickness between 0.2 and 1.5 mm, mesh of descartes with a minimum content of plate, sheet of rectangular lattice, mesh of discards of round molds or film with structures without puncturingThere are a variety of food with smooth roll crushers, striated, toothed or oversized systems. A special feeder belt-driven adapts to applications that require dynamic with more than 8 mm thickness. And, if the die must process plate waste from two sites, Getecha engineers can even introduce a double feed system.

The key feature of this generation of feeding granulators is the automatic speed control, which uses a system of intelligent control with self-adjustment of floating roller - also known as the English term 'dancer', which translates as dancer - permanently adapting the speed of feeding of the die to the cycle of thermoforming line. This harmonisation has not only strained the mesh, but it eliminates the need to adapt the values of motto of the die to the production machine and make manual adjustments.

In addition to the system of intelligent control of floating roller, the granulators of food Getecha are notable for the effectiveness of their acoustic insulation; I drill offset of the holes in the screen (without interference due to long parts); cooling water for the accommodation of the die (prevents sticking foil); as well as the option of granular waste extra fine sheet of PET (less than 0.40 mm), using a special feed system. The granulators of food Getecha also show an energy efficiency of Vanguard. A frequency converter installed on the main engine regulates the consumption of electricity and prevents current peaks. When the machine operates at idling speed and with partial load reduces the torque of the engine delivery and minimizes the reactive current.

Getecha also offers another adapter structural element to their feeding granulators. It consists of various solutions for transporting grain by means of facilities of suction or pressure (blower, precipitator and filling of sacks station). This allows the manufacturer cover the circuit from the thermoforming line until the final recycling in extrusion machine, passing through the processing of the residue of the sheet.
