Compact granulator for plastic comminution
Optimize your plastic recycling operations with a compact granulator designed to enhance material flow and reduce energy consumption during the comminution process.
Comminutes and Granulates Plastics and Films
The Compact-Line CL from Hosokawa Alpine is a versatile granulator designed for the efficient comminution of plastics and films. Engineered with a patented cross-scissor cut rotor, it ensures optimal material intake, reducing energy consumption while enhancing throughput. Ideal for applications in chemicals, food, and recycling industries, it efficiently processes materials into granules and powders, supporting a wide range of end-products like dyestuffs, fertilizer pellets, and soap pods.
The system features an electrohydraulic dual opening mechanism for easy access and cleaning, cutting down time between product changes. Available in capacities ranging from 30 to 500 kW, it offers modular design options for swift integration into existing lines. Its robust construction with standard and special wear protection makes it suitable for high-load operations. The Compact-Line CL supports continuous and high-speed operations, with a user-oriented design that permits rotation of the screen and straightforward adjustments of rotor and stator knives for reduced maintenance and spare part needs, ensuring longevity and cost-efficiency.
