Plastic
granulator is used to reduce the size of plastic into smaller particles,
which can further be re used and recycled to put to different
applications. The packaging industry has been making use of granulator
machines to recycle plastic and thus save on cost and resources. High
speed granulators are used to control the particle size and play an
important role in plastic auxiliary equipment. Mostly these machines are
used to process large quantities of resin and plastic by reducing their
size into uniform flakes or granules that are either reprocessed or re
sold to molders and manufacturers as a recycled raw material. Plastic
granulators come in varied sizes depending on the size of job and the
feed opening in the cutting chamber of the machine. Most granulators use
electric motors, while there are a few hydraulic units and certain
diesel backed machines. Good quality plastic granulating equipment is
characterized with the ability to change the blades quickly.
Types of Rotors used in Granulators
- Scissor cut
- V-type or Chevron rotor
- Helical rotors
Benefits of Plastic Granulator
- Recycling of plastic saves cost, time and capital required
- Allows crushing of different sized particles
- Uniformity in the size of flakes and granules
- Provision of special designs to meet specific needs
