Construction
The VULCANATOR features heavy-duty fabricated steel construction and a split body design with a hydraulic cylinder for easy interior access. Options include stainless steel construction, pneumatic discharge, liquid seals and more. The KM30 features a 150 HP drive to plow through the toughest rubber bales in high volume. The KM10 features up to 60 HP motor and drive to handle rubber chunks and other materials. Both are available with a variety of rugged screens to produce the desired output.
Precision Rubber Granulation
The VULCANATOR reduces whole 75-lb bales of synthetic or natural rubber into uniform granules in a single pass. The heavy-duty cutting chamber and high-torque drive handle the demanding loads of full bale processing without pre-cutting.
Cutter profiles are engineered for consistent particle size control, producing granules optimized for downstream mixing, compounding, or recycling processes.
Models
The VULCANATOR KM10 is designed for production-scale rubber granulation, processing whole bales continuously. The robust construction features hardened alloy cutters, heavy-duty bearings, and a gear drive system built for multi-shift operation.
Franklin Miller offers the VULCANATOR in configurations optimized for specific rubber types, hardness ranges, and target granule sizes. Contact our engineers for model selection guidance.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
1What materials can the VULCANATOR process?
The VULCANATOR is purpose-built for the rubber and heavy plastics industry. It processes scrap tires, rubber compounds, synthetic and natural rubber bales (including whole 75-lb bales), and thick plastics into uniform granules for recycling or reuse.
2How does the VULCANATOR minimize heat during processing?
The VULCANATOR features a unique low-friction design that reduces rubber into small bits without the heat rise associated with other designs that require cooling devices. This eliminates the need for supplemental cooling equipment.
3What construction and access features does the VULCANATOR have?
The VULCANATOR features heavy-duty fabricated steel construction and a split body design with a hydraulic cylinder for easy interior access. Options include stainless steel construction, pneumatic discharge, and liquid seals. The KM30 model features a robust motor and drive system for continuous production demands.
4How is material fed into the VULCANATOR?
Material is fed into the VULCANATOR via conveyor or manually. Rugged rotary knives reduce the material to the desired granule size. The unit is designed for continuous production operation with reliable, consistent output.
