75 HP Conair Hushgard Central Granulator | Sound Attenuated | 1989 | S/N 9-0038 & 75 Hp Motor

75 HP Conair "Hushgard" Central Granulator | Sound Attenuated | 1989

The Conair Hushgard is a high-capacity central granulator designed for the demanding processing of large plastic parts, purgings, and high-volume scrap. This 75 HP model is built with an integrated sound-attenuation enclosure, engineered to meet OSHA noise standards by significantly reducing decibel levels during heavy-duty grinding. This unit is an ideal choice for facilities that require a powerful central grinder but want to maintain a safer, quieter plant environment.

Manufactured in 1989 (S/N 9-0038), this machine features the legendary build quality of the "Hushgard" series, including a heavy-duty tangential feed cutting chamber and a high-inertia flywheel. The tangential design allows the rotor to "grab" large, bulky items—such as automotive components or large purgings—ensuring consistent throughput without the material bounce often found in smaller machines.
