Screen Classifying Cutters Meet Productivity Needs of Extrusion and Thermoforming Lines

A major plastics thermoformer, whose operations include sheet extrusion and calendering, installed 20 screen classifying cutters from Munson Machinery Co. Inc., Utica, NY, to assure efficient granulation and sizing of its process scrap. It is essential that the cutters work to full capacity during production runs and deliver properly-sized granulate for processing. The company specified Munson's SCC model cutters to replace units from another supplier, which had maintenance problems caused by frequent blade changes, and which could not process trim scrap at desired production rates.
