Oscillating Granulator Machines | Industrial Processing Equipment

Throat opening size depends on your material dimensions. Small operations use 6x8 to 8x10 inches, medium operations use 8x12 to 10x10 inches, and large-scale processing requires 12x15 to 19x16 inch openings to accommodate larger materials.

Motor power requirements range from 1-3 HP for small operations, 5-15 HP for medium production volumes, and 20+ HP for high-volume industrial recycling and size reduction applications.

Portable granulators offer mobility for flexible placement near production lines and beside-the-press applications, while upright models are stationary, space-efficient units designed for permanent installation in processing facilities.

Granulators can process various thermoplastics including PET, PE, PP, PVC, and ABS. Screen size and blade configuration may need adjustment based on material hardness and desired output size.

Oscillating granulators are used to reduce runners, sprues, and defective parts in injection molding facilities, granulate edge trim and startup scrap from extrusion lines, process thermoformed scrap and trim waste in packaging manufacturing, and handle plastic waste in recycling operations.

Quality used granulators from reputable manufacturers like Cumberland, Nelmor, and Granutec offer reliable performance when properly maintained, providing cost-effective solutions for plastics processing operations.

Regular maintenance includes blade sharpening or replacement, screen cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and periodic inspection of motor and electrical components to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
