Shredder-granulator for plastic recycling
Simplify your plastic recycling process by integrating shredding and granulating capabilities in one compact machine, reducing space requirements and increasing efficiency.
Shreds and Granulates Plastic Waste Efficiently
The Polyplex PPC from Hosokawa Alpine is an innovative shredder-granulator combining dual-functionality on a single shaft, tailored for the versatile demands of the plastics recycling sector. Its unique design allows seamless integration into your production line, efficiently converting mixed plastic waste into uniform granules. Boasting a vertically aligned shredder and granulator, it self-doses material and requires minimal space, optimizing plant layouts. Suitable for applications such as blow moldings, injection moldings, and profiles, it’s constructed to accommodate material lengths up to 6 meters and process heavy machine purgings. The system operates continuously, offering a high throughput and is engineered to minimize downtime with its easy-access design. Energy efficiency is prioritized with a single-drive operation, and its robust construction ensures durability under various industrial conditions. Available customization and engineering support enhance its adaptability to specific requirements in recycling and manufacturing settings.
