6 Functional and technical description

6.1 Functional description


The MAS2A is underneath-the-press granulator equipped with blades and screen for processing
plastics wastes.
The granulator must be used according to its power, throughput, output, mechanical strength, wearing
strength, and longevity.
The material is introduced into the auger.
Sprues / parts are cut inside the cutting chamber by the blades and regrind by the screen.
Due to gravity the regrind falls into the bin.
The bin is emptied in accordance to the fitted evacuation system: manually, mechanically or by
emptying system.

WARNING
Granulators MAS2A is not made to granulate: heavy or hard pieces, flush, metal part, glass, paper,
wood, toxic or flammable parts or to work inside an explosive area

The MAS Series granulators are rugged, rotary-cutting machines specifically designed to cut, chip and
granulate plastic materials with a minimum expenditure of horsepower.
Granulators MAS2A is equipped with a 3-blade open rotor design which gives an efficient scissor
cutting action and optimize the cooling effect.
Sound level may vary and is dependent on the type of granulated plastics, the shape of granulated
items, granulator feed equipment and the general surroundings (premises).
The plastic waste is fed into the auger, conveyed along the screw and falls down into the cutting
chamber, where rotating knives cut the material against fixed knives to granulate.
A perforated screen determines the size of the granulate.
The screen is located in the lower section of the cutter housing and can easily be changed to give the
desired granulate size.
The granulate passes the screen and falls down through the granule bin towards the outlet pipe for
further transport.
Extraction device (optional) ejects the granulate which is then ready for reuse in the production
machine or for transportation to a container for later use.
Simple cleaning, access to all the places that need cleaning when changing colour or type of plastics
is quick and easy.

DANGER
The plastic sprues / parts must before grinding be free from contamination and metal.

material, retaining the material in the cutting chamber until the particle size is such that it will pass
through the screen holes.
The screen is pulled out from the side for quick access into the cutting chamber.
Different screen holes sizes are available as options.
The rotor carries the rotor knives. The rotation of the rotor produces a cutting action between the rotor
knives and the stationary knives, thus reducing the material size.

6.5.4 Regrind collection bin

The granulated material that falls through the screen is collected by the collection bin located beneath
the cutting chamber.
The regrind collection bin is equipped with an swivel outlet pipe for vacuum unloading (vacuum system
is an option).

6.5.5 Safety switches

The main disconnect switch provides power to the granulator.


Check all safety switches periodically for proper operation.
MAS2A granulator is fitted with safety switches to check the cutting chamber locking, auger position
and the regrind bin detection.
If those safeties are not correctly fitted, it prevents the granulator from running.
A safety switch #1 checks the cutting chamber is locked and avoids the start-up of the granulator.
The safety switch consists of a knob with a long screw and a position switch with breaking key. The
length of the screw is selected so as to give the granulator time to stop before the knob is fully undone
and the knives become accessible.
A safety switch #2 checks the right position of the granulator under the mould or the placement of the
hopper (optional) in case of beside-the-press application.
A safety control switch #3 checks the bin is locked and avoids the start-up of the granulator.
Safety distances avoid the access to cutting tools.
Due to a thermal relay, the motor is covered against overloads.

MODEL_V00_MAS2A_Eng. 10.23.2015 Operation and Installation Manual


Page 31
DANGER
Under no circumstances should the operator attempt to reach into the auger to dislodge any bridged or
jammed material while the granulator is in operation
To clear the auger of jammed material, the granulator main power must be turned off and the
granulator isolated

8.6 Overfilling and stoppage of the granulator


If the granulator is overloaded so that the cutting chamber is jammed, engage the Emergency stop
button and turn the main disconnect to Off, then unplug the granulator from the electrical supply
Open the auger carefully
If the cutting chamber has jammed, use a wooden pole (or similar device) and carefully try to release
the rotor by pushing the blades in the opposite direction of the cutting angle
Clean the auger, cutting chamber, screen, and regrind collection bin
Reset the granulator motors overload protector in the electrical cabinet
Determine the cause that resulted in the overfilling of the granulator:
- Check the auger, regrind collection bin, and outfeed (blower or vacuum tube)
- Check the knives and knife tolerance. If the granulator knives are blunt and un-sharpened
or if the knife clearance is incorrect, this can cause overfilling in the cutting chamber
- To sharpen, replace, or adjust the knives, refer to the chapter 10.
- Check the screen. The dimension of the holes in the screen must be appropriate to the
material to be granulated and if the size of the holes is wrong, this can lead to overfilling in
the cutting chamber
Determine for the cause of the stoppage in the auger. The auger feed speed (metering rate) may be
too high or the pieces too large
Clean the auger and lower the metering rate
The cutting chamber is overfilled: determine for the cause of the overfilling in the cutting chamber (see
previous section)

NOTE
Before troubleshooting, attending to mechanical faults, and maintenance work, switch Off
the granulator main switch and break the power supply to the granulator and disconnect the
power plug

8.7 Accessing the cutting chamber

10 Replacing and adjusting the knives after sharpening
IMPORTANT
The rotating and fixed blades are subjected to severe conditions and you should inspect knives
periodically for sharpness.
The sharper the knives are kept, the better the granulator operates, producing quality regrind.
During use, the clearance between the rotating knives and the fixed knives will increase due to wear.
This is a normal condition that requires re-setting this clearance once or twice before it is necessary to
remove the knives for sharpening.
When new knives are fitted to the rotor, adjustment after eight hours of running time may be required.
Before assembling a new sharp set of knives, make sure the knife seats and mounting holes are clean.
Do not use grease or oil on screws or tapped holes when assembling the knives.
Knives must be replaced in complete sets otherwise it will not be possible to obtain even clearance
between the rotating and fixed knives.
We recommend that the rotor knife screws be replaced with new screws every knife change to reduce
the risk of screw failure due to overstretching.
Screws must be replaced with the type specified in the spare parts list.
Rotor knives should be changed one set at a time to prevent rotor from being out-of-balance.
CAUTION
Before applying a wrench to any knife bolt, be certain that the rotor is blocked to prevent rotation.
One such method is to use a block of wood at least 80 mm thick between a knife and a fixed portion of
the frame.
Adjust this difference if necessary by adding or removing one or more shims (ref. MAS1117) under the
fixed blades.

10.1 Safety instructions and caution when changing knives


Always use protective gloves when changing the knives.
When screws on knives are removed or installed, always secure the rotor using a strong block of
wood to prevent the rotor from moving.
Each time a set of knives is changed, the screws which hold the knives must be replaced with new
ones.
All screws which retain the knives are of high strength class.
Wittmanns responsibility and guarantee becomes invalid unless genuine Wittmann screws of the right
length, dimension, and strength class are used.
All screws must be tightened using a torque wrench to specified tightening torque which is stated in
the granulator instruction manual.
If a torque wrench is not used or if screws are not tightened to the specified tightening torque which is
stated in the granulator instruction manual, Wittmanns responsibility and guarantee become invalid.
Check the screen for wear when the knives are changed.
Change the screen when holes become pear shaped.
Your MAS2A Wittmann granulator reflects a high technical level and is manufactured with such a
precision that all knives in the granulator can be pre-set before they are installed in the cutter housing.
With a knife clearance precision of 0.25 mm for both fixed and rotating knives.
The pre-setting fixture is available as an option.

MODEL_V00_MAS2A_Eng. 10.23.2015 Operation and Installation Manual


Page 37
WARNING
In the moment the cutters must be turned manually do this with very great care.
The knives are heavy and sharp and could cause personal injury.
Knives can be sharp and heavy, use caution to avoid injury.
Tips for installation of knives on the rotor
Mark each knife with a felt-tip pen when each task is carried out.
The knife clearance is correctly set.
The knife screws are torqued to the correct specification.
The knife clearance has been re-checked and is correct.
Tips for installation of pre-set knives
The knife clearance is correctly set in the pre-setting fixture.
The knife screws are torqued to the correct specification.
The knife clearance has been re-checked and is correct.

10.2 Pre-setting for MAS2A


Screw the adjustment screws in somewhat (into the knife) on the knife.
Place the pre-setting fixture right in front of one of the knife adjusting screws with the knife edge
backward and upwards.
Use a hex wrench (8 mm) and unscrew the adjustment screws until the feeler gauge begins to bind.
Then the pre-setting is completed and the knife can be installed in the granulator.

NOTE
All knife positions must be properly cleaned and free from oil, grease and dust.
Use a plastic or rubber mallet and knock/hammer the knives down and in against the rear of the knife
position.

CAUTION
Before connecting the granulator, manually turn the rotor to check the gap between moving and fixed
blades ( to be sure they dont hit each other)
Recommended gap between 0.15 to 0.25 mm
MODEL_V00_MAS2A_Eng. 10.23.2015 Operation and Installation Manual
Page 38
10.3 Sharpening the knives
Under normal operating use, the cutting edge of the knives will eventually become dull, resulting in
reduced cutting efficiency.
The blunt knives may either be re-sharpened to restore the cutting edge or replaced with new knives
when resharpening is not possible.
When sharpening it is not harmful to allow a few small nicks to remain in the cutting edge.
Sharpening the cutting edge until perfectly clean can sometimes be wasteful.
All knives must be sharpened precisely to give the correct cutting and relief angles otherwise the
granulator loses its efficiency.
Pre-setting fixture to rotating and fixed knives (Optional).
The pre-setting fixture makes the knife installation simple and quick.
Both fixed and rotating knives should be pre-set before installing.
