Product Information

The Granulator is a machine used for grinding pipes, profiles, fittings, and sprues. It is designed with safety features to ensure the user’s protection during operation. The machine has a main isolator switch, an emergency stop button, and various hatches for feeding and accessing the grinding area. It is important to follow the safety instructions and wear the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating the Granulator.

Product Usage Instructions
