Manufacturer

Cumberland

Cumberland is a well-known manufacturer of industrial granulators and size-reduction equipment for plastics processing, recycling, extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming, and other manufacturing operations. Cumberland granulators are widely used for reducing production scrap, plastic parts, sheet, film, profiles, and other recyclable materials into manageable regrind.

Description

Available for sale is a used Cumberland Model 1456i granulator equipped with a 75 HP drive motor and a large 14" x 56" feed throat for industrial plastics recycling and size-reduction applications.

The cutting chamber features a three-knife twin shear rotor with two bed knives, providing an efficient cutting action for reducing suitable production scrap and recyclable materials. The rotor is belt driven by a 75 HP, 3-phase, 60 Hz, 460-volt motor.

Material feeding is handled by 68" wide powered infeed pull rolls driven by a 5 HP DC motor. The upper and lower feed rolls are poly covered and pneumatically actuated, providing controlled feeding into the granulator.

This machine is supplied with the pull-roll hopper only. Controls are not included, allowing the buyer to integrate the granulator into an existing processing line or install a control package appropriate for the intended application.
