A plastic granulator, or sometimes referred to crusher, has the unique ability to quickly and efficiently cut a stream of plastic scrap into small uniform flakes or regrinds for recycling. At the core of our granulator is an open rotor mounted with heavy-duty knives in either a double-scissor cut or v-shape array based on your requirements. As the rotor is spun at high speeds, the rotor knives come in contact with stationary knives that are mounted within the cutting chamber. The material is continuously cut until they are small enough to pass through a screen filter.

 

Our standard granulator houses 12 rotor and 3 stationary knives. All knives use only high quality D2 (equivalent to SDK11) high-carbon, high-chromium steel which ensures longest usage times before requiring sharpening. All knives are easily adjustable with hydraulic assisted access to the cutting chamber. Depending on your application, ASTAR provides both dry and wet granulators.
