Livingston, New Jersey -- US machinery maker Franklin Miller Inc has developed a new machine which claims to reduce whole bales of synthetic or natural rubber into small bits at one time without significant heat rise. The unit is called the Vulcanator
Franklin Miller said, "The Vulcanator features a unique cutting mechanism that cuts material to a size fine enough to pass through a special perforated sizing screen. The unit's open design minimises heat rise, reducing or eliminating the need for costly cooling devices.
Optional features include controls, infeed and discharge conveying system and partitioning agent feeder. The clam shell design provides easy access to the interior. Units are available in carbon steel, stainless steel and clad construction.
