Plastic Pelletizer

Plastic granulators, also known as shredders or grinders, are an essential technology for plastic recycling facilities and operations. These powerful machines efficiently break down recyclable plastic scrap into smaller, usable fractions for reprocessing.

Granulators function by using rotating blades to chop and grind plastic material fed into the cutting chamber. This allows the plastic to be broken down into uniform flakes, pellets or powders of customized size and shape depending on the screen configurations used. Granulators come in different designs such as dual-shafted, single-shafted, and roto-stellar for handling hard or soft plastics.

Optimizing plastic granulation is critical for effective plastic recycling. By properly sizing the plastic particles, the regrind material can be smoothly reused in molding applications or repurposed into new plastic products. Well-designed granulators also minimize waste, energy consumption and operation costs for recycling facilities. With ongoing improvements in granulation technology and the push for increased recycling, granulators will become even more invaluable for supporting the circular plastic economy.
