Granulators
FAQ
Granulators can help you maximize the reclamation of plastic waste
– and boost your bottom line. But finding the right granulator is crucial to
increasing your operation’s efficiency.
Our trained technical staff is ready and willing to help you select
the right machine and to answer any questions you may have, such as:
Q. What granulators work best for film and other lightweight items?
A. Machines equipped with open rotors are well-suited for lightweight
applications. Staggered-rotor granulators are available, but those are
appropriate for heavier-duty materials.
Q. What about bulky blow-molded or thicker walled voluminous parts?
A. A granulator with a 3-blade rotor is the right choice for thick, bulky
parts.
Q. Is there a granulator that can handle sprues, runners and small
parts, without taking up a lot of space in our plant?
A. With a maximum footprint of 23.5” x 26”, a compact Pygmy Sharxx can be
wheeled where you need it when you need it. Locking casters help ensure worker
safety while the granulator is in operation.
Q. We run a very lean maintenance staff and don’t want to bury them
with more work … but we also want to start processing our own scrap. How much
upkeep is involved with a new granulator?
A. Sharxx granulators are designed with a low-maintenance, high-dependability
philosophy. Our drop-down screen cradles allow for fast cleanout when you
change plastic type or color.
