Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A device for comminuting or granulating plastic and like material including a housing having a rotating cutter therein, at least one fixed cutter cooperating with the rotating cutter, and a perforated screen, insulated mounting means mounting the fixed cutter and screen in fixed but insulated relationship with respect to the housing thereby greatly abating noises.
  • the device also has access means for supplying materials to be comminuted including an access opening remote from the rotating cutter by a distance greater than the reach of an operator thereby preventing operator contact with the rotating cutter.
  • the device has removable parts which provide access to the rotating cutter and there are control means for the rotating cutter for rendering the rotating cutter inoperative upon the removal of any one of the removable parts.
  • Granulators for comminuting plastics and like material utilizing cooperating rotating and fixed cutters and associated material sizing screens are known noise pollutors and may not meet the noise pollution standards imposed by modern industrial laws.
  • Certain granulators may also fail to meet safety requirements in that it may be possible for an operator, working under abnormal conditions, to inadvertently place his hand into contact with the rotating cutter. Further, certain granulators are constructed wherein certain parts thereof, such as entry chutes, side panels, etc., may be removed without the drive for the rotating cutter being disabled.
  • a granulator wherein critical elements thereof have insulated mountings, the construction of which is such that noises which might be produced during normal interaction of a rotating cutter with a fixed cutter are substantially eliminated. Further, the screens associated with the cutter elements are also mounted in an insulated manner so as to greatly reduce noise transfer. The net result of such insulated mountings and other features of the invention'is to produce a granulator which substantially reduces noise pollution without requiring complex and expensive insulated housings.
  • Another feature of this invention is that the required insulation of the granulator may be accomplished by the simple use of the fasteners having resilient mounting components which effectively absorb noise, shock, and vibration even under high-impact conditions.
  • Another feature of this invention is the provision of a feed hopper having an access opening which is spaced from the path of the rotating cutter a distance in excess of the reach of an operator whereby it is physically impossible for the operator to reach the path of the rotating cutter even under the most abnormal conditions.
  • Another feature of the invention is the provision of a feed hopper having a feed muffer with a unique drawtype inner assembly with flexible baffles therein which simultaneously serves to deflect material placed in the granulator into the path of the rotating cutter and to prevent chips of material flung by the rotating cutter from ricocheting out through the access opening while attenuating airborne noise that would otherwise normally escape through the feed opening.
  • a further feature of the invention is the provision of switch means for rendering inoperative the drive for the rotating cutter when the feed hopper or certain parts of the removable panels of the housing'of the granulator are removed, whereby it is impossible to ef feet the driven rotation of the rotating cutters when access to the path thereof is obtainable.
  • Another feature of this invention is the integrated design whereby various sections normally found in conventional granulators such as the base, cutting section and feed chute are integrated into one piece with suitable access doors, thereby minimizing the leakages of noise from where the conventional sections normally abut against each other.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of the granulator with parts broken away and shown in section;
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the granulator and shows generally the details of the feed hopper in the relationship thereof with respect to the rotating cutter;
  • FIG. 3 is a view taken along the lines 3-3 of FIG. 1 showing in detail the means for rendering the drive for the rotating cutter inoperative upon the removal of components of the granulator;
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional view taken along the line 44 of FIG. 1 and shows the details of the rotating cutter, the fixed cutters associated therewith, the sectional screen associated therewith, and mountings of the fixed cutters and sectional screen;
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken along the line 5--5 of FIG. 1 and shows further the details of an insulated support for the lower fixed cutter, and for adjacent portions of the sectional screen;
  • FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken along the line 66 of FIG. 1 and shows the adjustable mounting of the lower fixed cutter and the lower edge of the front screen section.
  • the granulator is generally identified by the numeral l0 and includes rigid base 11 having two opposite sides thereof reinforced by a pair of channel members 12 secured to the underside thereof.
  • the front end of the base is provided with a pair of fixed support wheels 13 while the rear end of the base 11 is provided with a pair of casters 14.
  • Housing 15 Seated on base 11 and extending upwardly therefrom is a generally rectangular housing 15.
  • Housing 15 includes a pair of thick and very rigid side plates 16 and 17 which are suitably secured to base 11 in fixed relationship. Extending between side plates 16, 17 at the front edges thereof and removably secured thereto by a plurality of fasteners 18 is a front panel or door 20.
  • a similar rear panel or door 21 is secured to rear edges of the side plates by means of like removable fasteners 22.

  • Fasteners 40, 43 are then applied so as to draw clamp blocks 41, 42 tightly against support block 38.
  • chamfer 42a guides the movement of knife holding block 44 to preclude interference between rotor knives 30 and bed knife 57.
  • the knife holding block 44 is mounted with respect to the support block 38 in insulated relation such as to permit only such movements of knife holding block 44 that will not result in interference between the rotating knives 30 and bed knife 57 and, also, that will not change the relationship between rotating knives 30 and bed knife 57 beyond ordinary permissible limits during operation of the granulator.
  • a lower bed knife 57 is clamped to knife holding block 44 by means of suitable fasteners 58.
