MACHINE SIDE CRUSHERS

-Side granulators (also known as slow-speed granulators) are widely used in the plastics industry to recover and reuse defective products, runners, and sprues directly at the injection molding machine. These machines are typically installed right next to the molding machine, allowing materials to be processed quickly and continuously.
-Unlike high-speed granulators, slow-speed granulators operate at low rotational speeds and use strong cutting forces from blades to crush plastic without generating excessive dust or heat. As a result, the quality of the regrind remains stable, minimizing the risk of melting or material degradation.
- In practice, these machines can process a wide range of plastics such as PP, PE, ABS, PC, and are especially suitable for small parts or runner systems in injection molding processes. After grinding, the material can be fed back into the hopper of the injection molding machine for reuse, helping to save raw materials and reduce production costs.
- With their compact design, quiet operation, high safety, and easy maintenance, side granulators/slow-speed granulators provide an effective solution for optimizing production processes, reducing waste, and improving economic efficiency in the plastics industry.
