Plastics Recycling Granulators process up to 7 tons/hour.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Fri, 09 May 2008 07:33:34 -0500

Suitable for dry or wet operation, horizontally fed SB Series granulate containers made of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and other recyclable plastics. Horizontal feeding screws force materials from hopper to adjacent cutting chamber at steady, even pace instead of depending on materials to fall directly into blades, which reduces fines and dust. Granulators can also be used for secondary size reduction of pre-shredded plastics.
