Standard Plastic Granulators – Efficient Solutions for Plastic Recycling

Our robust plastic granulators, also known as plastic crushers, are an essential component within the plastic recycling industry. Specifically designed for maximum durability, these granulators quickly and efficiently shred a variety of plastic materials into uniform flakes or reusable granulates, significantly improving your recycling process.

These versatile machines are among our most popular equipment and are frequently integrated into complete recycling systems such as PET bottle washing lines and plastic film recycling systems.

How do plastic granulators work?

The core of each granulator is a powerful open rotor equipped with robust blades in a double-shaft or V-shaped arrangement, tailored to your requirements. As the rotor rotates at high speed (400-600 rpm), the blades continuously cut the plastic material against fixed blades in the cutting chamber until it is small enough to pass through a sieve—standardly between 10 mm and 100 mm, but adjustable to your specific needs.

Our standard granulators are equipped with 12 rotor blades and 3 fixed blades made of highly durable D2 steel (SDK11 equivalent), ensuring a longer lifespan between sharpening sessions. Maintenance and blade adjustment are simplified by hydraulic access to the cutting chamber.

Applications of plastic granulators

These universal granulators efficiently process various plastic types, including PET bottles, plastic film, and rigid plastics. Additionally, we offer special wet granulators equipped with improved rubber seals and water spray systems that clean the plastic and cool the blades during the cutting process.

Plastic Granulators vs. Shredders

While both machines reduce plastic, granulators are fast, precise devices ideal for smaller plastics. Due to their high rotational speed, granulators are more sensitive to contaminants such as metals or stones. We therefore advise installing a magnetic separator above the conveyor system to prevent damage.

Shredders operate at lower speeds, making them suitable for larger plastic pieces and more resistant to contamination. Shredders are often used to pre-reduce large plastic pieces, after which granulators ensure the final finer processing.

Warranty and Customer Service

All machines come with a standard 1-year limited warranty. Our experienced support team is ready to assist you with technical support and advice.
