Tungsten carbide cutter from Munson

Model SCC-15-B features a proprietary rotor design comprised of cutter heads attached to a helical array of staggered holders called "interconnected parallelograms" that continuously shear oversize materials against twin, stationary bed knives.

Unlike conventional knife cutters that slice material into strips and require frequent sharpening, the SCC-15-B cutter positions carbide-tipped cutter heads along the entire shaft, with no frontal gaps between the tips. As a result, material is cut into uniform pieces with minimum imperfections or fines, and less generation of heat.

Applications include a diversity of food, chemical, mineral and plastics products such as grains, minerals, foundry materials, wood chips, regrind and glass fibre insulation.

The cutter is configured with a multiple V-belt drive motor as standard, and available with a direct-coupled gear-reduced drive.

Also available are SCC-10, -30, -48, -60 and -72 models with 10.5 in (267 mm) diameter rotors and throat widths of 10 in (254 mm), 30 in (763 mm), 48 in (1219 mm), 60 in (1524 mm) and 72 in (1829 mm), respectively. For ultra-high capacity applications, a Magnum version with an 18 in (457 mm) diameter rotor is also available.

The cutter tips are also available in stainless steel and tool steel.
