Used plastic granulators – a brief

June 17th, 2009 | Author: Assistant

Plastic, the wonder material of the modern age has now become a nightmare and a curse. Not being biodegradable, the mere thought of used plastic of all shapes and sizes clogging up our drains, polluting our rivers, lakes and seas and using up our scarce land resources, is enough to keep our environmentalists working overtime. The only rational answer is repeated reuse of all discarded plastic. This is where man has invented a wonderful machine, the plastic granulators. This machine breaks down old plastic for recycling. The product is fine granules or flakes. These granules are converted into new plastic products using injection molding or thermoforming methods. The machine consists of an electric motor, which turns a rotor. Cutting blades are attached to the rotor. These blades act like a shredder for reducing the waste plastic into granules. There is a screen to sieve the right size of granules. There is a flourishing market in used plastic granulators.

There are number of online sites that one can reach for used plastic granulators. Some of these details on the names of the used machines on sale, the asking price, the last bid, the minimum bid, the number of bids received, and where the machines are located. You could pick up a 30 HP Cumberland granulator or a Ball and Jewell granulator by quoting above the minimum bid. Another site gives you the choice of buying used plastic granulators of your choice, location wise. Some of the locations listed are California, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey and Ohio. There are facilities of advanced search where you can key in your requirements and opt for results with the exact phrase all along with the name of the manufacturer and/or the model/type.

These sites with columns on used plastic granulators and their details offer a detail account of the technicalities of these useful machines. From them you get to know in depth about Herbold granulator, details on their 10 rotors with specifications on rotor diameter, the screen size and the electrical power ratings- all besides the type and model details.
