The plasticpreneur desktop granulator is the perfect choice to showcase the grinding process in a wide range of applications and prepares plastic waste for injection moulding or extrusion processing. 

Recycling process

Desktop plastic granulator which grinds plastic into small flakes.

Plastic is fed through the hopper and grinded with motor-driven rotor and stator knives in the cutting box into small flakes. 

Key advantages

1. Developed in cooperation with one of the leading manufacturers of plastic granulators in Central Europe, with decades of expertise. 
2. Stand-alone and movable as desktop version
3. Improved ‘pull–in’ action of the rotor for bulky parts and sprues.
4. Replaceable and regrindable cutting knives.

Workflow

Only a few steps are required to unpack and set up the machine. 

1. You are ready to grind plastic waste within minutes. All of the necessary tools and safety gear for getting your machine operational are included. 

2. The Machine is set up stand-alone on a desk in a well ventilated, dry room. It is easily movable with the carrying handles from one place to the other. 

3. For an ideal workflow we suggest using 3-4 m².

The grinding process

1. Washed and sorted plastic is fed into the hopper and enters the cutting box. Blades on a motor driven rotor, grind the plastic into small flakes. Through watching windows this process can be observed.
2. The grinding process takes place between the rotating rotor blades and the stationary stator blades. The cutting gap size and the cutting geometry of the rotor and stator knives can be adjusted. 
3. After passing through an exchangeable sieve, the flakes are collected in a box and are ready to be processed further in an injection moulding machine or extruder. The sieve size determines the flake size. 
4. Larger plastic objects need to be pre cut to fit into the hopper. 

Recommended materials 

Recommended for rigid polyolefins

Compatible with: flexible material such as TPU

Ability to test other materials such as biodegradable etc. 

We assume no liability if materials other than those recommended are used. For other materials (e.g. biodegradable plastics) if applicable we can provide information as well as material tests. 

Not recommended for use: stretch film, foamed materials

Never to use: wood, metall, electronics, etc.

Plastic may be pre-cut to fit into the hopper. E.g. with tin snips, saw, etc.

Included Tools, Safety Gears, and additional Accessories Kit 

An accessory kit consisting of all needed parts to ensure safe and easy set up, as well as for maintenance are included.

This includes :

• Tool & safety gear set including

  • Ring spanner, flat screwdriver, tin snips
  • Gloves, safety glasses, ear protection

Safety

To safely operate the machine: gloves and safety glasses are needed. Depending on the input material the dB varies. Therefore, we recommend using ear protection, especially if working for a longer period of time.
