THM replaces ZM granulators with PG range

THM Recycling Solutions (THM) is launching a new generation of power granulators to replace its ZM machines.

The PG power granulator is said to share the same robustness as ZM but with lower maintenance costs, higher throughput capacities, easier handling and reduced space requirements. It incorporates features to facilitate easier maintenance and operation, as well as increased throughput performance for shredding metals, cable scrap, plastic waste etc.

THM emphasises the use of four sieve segments instead of a single heavy standard sieve as found in the ZM series.
‘These sieve segments are lighter and easier to replace than a continuous sieve basket,’ the German company says. ‘In case of damage to the sieve, only the affected sieve segment needs replacement, not the entire sieve basket, resulting in optimised maintenance costs.’

Another new feature is a hydraulically swivelling sieve basket. Previously, when changing the sieve on the ZM, the discharge unit had to be removed, requiring at least two people and a transport trolley. The new sieve basket and segments eliminate this effort, accelerating and simplifying maintenance while reducing costs.

The PG granulator has a larger inlet opening to increase throughput performance by accommodating more material. It is also sleeker than the ZM machine series, requiring less space.
