The PC series of Knife Mills from 3E Machinery is the perfect solution for companies engaged in plastic recycling. With their advanced technical features, they achieve efficient material shredding with minimal energy consumption.
Main technical features of the PC series Knife Mills.
- Rotor length: In the PC series, we offer mills equipped with rotors ranging in length from 600 mm to 2000 mm. This variety allows the mill to be tailored to different types of materials and waste sizes.
- Rotor diameter: The rotor diameters in the PC series mills range from 220 mm to 800 mm. This specification allows for the precise adaptation of the mill to various sizes and dimensions of the processed material.
- Main motor powers: Our PC series knife mills are available with main motors ranging in power from 18.5 kW to 200 kW. This wide range of power options allows the mill to be adjusted to different types of materials and desired performance.
- IE3 class electric motors (Premium Efficiency): All motors used in PC series mills belong to the IE3 (Premium Efficiency) class. This means they are optimized for energy savings and efficiency, contributing to the minimization of electric energy consumption.
- External bearing: The PC series mills feature an external bearing, meaning the bearings are located outside the cutting chamber, in the mill's housing. This design ensures the protection of the bearings from the adverse effects of dust and other particles, translating into a longer bearing lifespan.
- Double-row barrel bearings: Our PC series knife mills are equipped with durable double-row barrel bearings. These bearings are characterized by their ability to carry high loads, which is crucial when shredding tough and demanding materials.
- Flywheel: Each PC series knife mill is equipped with a flywheel, enhancing the mill's power and efficiency. It acts as an additional source of kinetic energy, aiding the shredding process and accelerating the processing time.
- Rotor configurations: The PC series offers various rotor configurations, allowing the cutting system to be adapted to different types of materials, such as bulky waste, thin-walled, pre-crushed, films.
