Granulator Machines: Pricing and Cost Comparison

Portable granulators offer flexibility in positioning and are ideal for beside-the-press applications. Upright granulators are stationary, space-efficient, and typically better for centralized recycling operations with higher throughput requirements.

Throat opening size should match your largest material dimensions. Small openings (6-8 inches) suit runners and sprues, medium (8-12 inches) handle standard parts, and large openings (12-19 inches) process bigger components or sheet materials.

Most granulators in our inventory are sold as-is condition. We provide detailed specifications and photos for each unit. Contact us for information about machine condition, testing, and available service options.

Material type and throughput determine HP requirements. Light-duty applications need 1-3 HP, moderate operations require 5-7 HP, and heavy-duty continuous recycling demands 15-20 HP. Our specialists can help size the right motor.

Yes, granulators process various thermoplastics including PE, PP, PVC, PS, ABS, and nylon. Screen size and blade configuration affect output particle size. Specific material compatibility depends on the machine model and setup.

Regular maintenance includes blade sharpening or replacement, screen inspection, bearing lubrication, and motor servicing. Maintenance frequency depends on usage intensity, material type, and operating conditions. Most manufacturers recommend quarterly professional inspections.
