Abstract
A process and apparatus for aligning the cutting surfaces of cutting blades of a granulating device, in which an abrasive plate is detachably connected to the granulating hood of the granulating device after disconnection of the hood from a die plate. The abrasive plate remains fixed and the cutting surfaces of the cutting blades are ground by rotating the cutting head so that the cutting surfaces will be aligned axially on the axis of rotation of the drive shaft of the cutting head and located in a common plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The grinding operation for alignment can be carried out in situ on the granulating device, or the granulating hood and cutting head can be removed from the granulating device and the grinding and alignment can be effected in a separate support.
