Seven Key Factors for a great size reduction solution
It’s easy to think of shredders and granulators as “brute force” equipment, with all brawn and no brains, but the opposite is true. There are few pieces of plastics processing equipment that allow for so many variables, so much configurability, as a shredder or granulator. Thus, the application information that...

Plastics Granulator Maintenance for Regrinding
The regrind you produce should be free-flowing, cleanly cut, uniform in size, and free of dust and fines. That’s because there’s not one processing machine or control out there—injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, or the rest—that can consistently convert poor-quality regrind into high-quality finished product. And that’s why, if you’re...

The Advantages of Plastics Granulators and Plastics Shredders
Just because plastics granulators and plastics shredders operate differently, and each has different advantages, does not mean that processors have to choose between them. Often, these two size-reduction methods complement each other: shredders perform coarse size-reduction, with scrap subsequently channeled into a granulator for final sizing into consistent, uniform feed...
