Granulator Knife Bolts – The Solution to Expensive Failures in Recycling Operations

Written by Hyde | Sep 26, 2018 7:04:00 PM


At Hyde Industrial Blade Solutions, we are always making great strides to solve your everyday cutting problems. We want to make sure that as a plant manager, your operations are running as smoothly as possible, and without the proper applications, you simply cannot do that.

One discovery we came across during our extensive research was that when it comes to recycling operations, knife failures can be both expensive and frustrating. The delays caused by your machinery being down due to continuous failures, on top of the cost of replacing parts over and over again, make it nearly impossible to run a dependable plant.

At Hyde, we find that entirely unacceptable. When you can’t depend on your machinery, you cannot promise perfection to your own clients. Luckily for you, Hyde has the solution!

To provide you with the results you have come to expect from Hyde, we came up with our granulator knife bolts. These awesome little bolts definitely pack a punch when it comes to reducing the risks of costly knife failures during your recycling operations. They might be little, but you know you can count on Hyde to make your life easier.  

One thing you can trust is that our D&S knife bolts will play a vital role in the preventative maintenance within your plant, as well as increase your machine uptime.

It’s true that when your granulating knives for your recycling industry are not performing or even worse, experiencing a catastrophic event, it can be a nightmare. It can lead to hours or even multiple days of costly downtime because when your machines are offline, you are not making money. When the bolts on your knives are not fastened appropriately, it can cause damage to expensive knives and/or recycling processing machines in your plant.

Over time, all bolts will stretch and wear, and it is pretty common for equipment manufacturers to recommend you to replace your bolts each and every time your knives are sharpened or replaced. Our replacement Granulator Knife Bolts from D&S Manufacturing, a division of Hyde Industrial Blade Solutions (IBS) are manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system, which basically means that they are equipped to reduce the risk of knife failure due to bolt fatigue.

Further, our D&S Granulator Knife Bolts are crafted from a high-quality carbon alloy steel, which is then quenched and tempered to achieve optimum tensile strength. Our bolts are rated at Grade 8 because they have a minimum tensile strength of 150,000 PSI, meaning they are strong enough to withstand even the toughest granulating production challenges that come their way.

Our D&S Granulator Knife Bolts are coated with a black oxide finish that is fully threaded up to the bolt head and are manufactured to meet all of the applicable IFI standards. We are proud to say that they comply entirely to the standards of the Fastener Quality Act of 1999.
