Beside-the-press granulators for injection molding

Optimize your plastic production by efficiently reclaiming resin with advanced beside-the-press granulators, designed to seamlessly integrate into your molding or extrusion operation.

Granulates and Reclaims Plastic Resins Efficiently

The FX Series from AEC, featuring models like FX700, FX1000, and FX1600, excels in delivering precise granulation at the press side, integral to efficient plastic processing lines. These beside-the-press granulators are engineered to rapidly reduce size using high-torque cutters, maximizing resin reclaim for industries such as plastics manufacturing, injection molding, and extrusion.

Ideal for handling a variety of materials, including polyethylene films and polypropylene parts, these granulators streamline operations by directly integrating into molding or extrusion setups. With a focus on polymer waste reduction, they support continuous and batch operations, enhancing sustainability efforts in recycling and extrusion facilities.

The FX Series supports automation with options for PLC integration, ensuring smooth operation with minimal oversight. Energy savings are achieved through efficient motor designs that reduce consumption, a critical consideration in large-scale operations. Available in robust construction materials to withstand demanding industrial environments, the equipment achieves low maintenance requirements, with quick access design that simplifies cleaning and reduces downtime.

AEC provides customization options enabling you to tailor processing capacity and throughput, meeting specific production demands seamlessly. With engineering support readily available, the FX Series empowers facilities to elevate their operational efficiency and achieve high-quality resin reclaim.
