Granutech-Saturn Systems introduces Cutter Sales & Rebuild Division

Granutech-Saturn Systems, the Grand Prairie, Texas-based manufacturer of Saturn and 3TEK branded industrial and mobile shredders, has opened a Cutter Sales & Rebuild Division. According to the company, the new division allows it to deliver new and rebuilt cutters up to 30 percent faster than competitors can. In addition to providing legacy customers of dual- and quad-shaft Saturn shredders with replacement rebuilt cutter blades, including spacers or brand new blades, it can support major original equipment manufacturer (OEM) shredder customers by providing spec-match replacement cutters.

“We are so pleased to be able to leverage our nearly 40-year legacy in shredder manufacturing to offer this enhanced cutter replacement and rebuild capability to customers and support a broad variety of OEM’s aging industrial shredders,” says Matthew Morrison, president of Granutech-Saturn. “This is due as much to our engineering expertise and expansive manufacturing capability as well as our own vertically integrated, state-of-the-art MAC Machine and Gear custom machining and tool operation, which allows us to meet growing customer needs for replacement parts faster.”

Jonathan Maly, a seasoned recycling and automation professional who rejoined Granutech-Saturn in 2021, is the national sales manager for the new division.

“Whether you need brand new replacement cutters or need your existing shredder cutters rebuilt, we have the capability to deliver a quality product, regardless of OEM shredder brand, with extremely competitive pricing and lead times that are often up to 30 percent faster than available elsewhere,” he says.

Maly adds that the company’s integrated workflow, with all machining occurring under one roof, and tenured employees enable the faster lead times.

Additionally, the alloy Granutech is using for its rebuilds is stronger, resulting in longer service life for its rebuilds, he says.

The company says its manufacturing capabilities and facility, including its own machining and tooling division, enable Granutech to provide cost-effective, high-quality rebuilt cutters for other OEM shredders, with each cutter going through rigorous testing for the correct tolerances to adhere to original spec design.
