20110089279 | GRANULATOR HOUSING AND A METHOD FOR MOUNTING/DISMOUNTING A KNIFE THEREIN - A granulator mill housing for a granulator mill has a rotor, provided with knives, journalled therein, and seats against which fixed knives may be fixedly clamped by means of screws and guide bars. At a lower seat, there is a stand on which a guide bar is placeable in a preparatory position. The side of the guide bar, intended for cooperation with the knife is turned upwards. Pivoting of the guide bar and the knife will move the knife into abutment with the seat. On mounting of a knife against a seat in a granulator mill housing, the knife and a guide bar are screwed in position against the seat. First the guide bar is placed on a stand, whereafter the knife is placed on the guide bar, and the guide bar and the knife are pivoted together to a mounting position with the knife in abutment against the seat where screws are mounted. | 04-21-2011 |
