How to choose a granulator for post-consumer plastic waste

Bruno Folcieri granulators are recognized for their high production capacity and are suitable for particularly intensive applications such as grinding heavy bodies, hard fibers, extremely thin films or simply large quantities of material.

Choosing the characteristics well at the beginning will allow you to purchase a reliable machine
over time.

In choosing a mill, among the variables to consider there is certainly the evaluation of the type of
material to be treated and the amount of output to be obtained. Before moving on to the type of
materials it is essential to clarify whether it is clean material, deriving from industrial waste, or
whether it is contaminated material deriving from post-consumer use.
In the case of post-consumer material, the granulators grind the contaminated plastic materials with
the use of water. The big advantage that comes with this type of granulator is that already in the grinding phase, the material comes simultaneously ground and washed, thus removing considerable quantities of impurities and effectively combining, in a single step, accurate grinding and pre-washing of the material.

The nature of the material originally indicates which path to take in the choice, the Folcieri mills in
the wet version treat:
Bottles and Flacconame
Mixed Plastic Scrap
Big Bags
Agricultural Film (pe)
Films and Plates
Post-consumer film

Even the original dimensions of the material must be evaluated as the loading mouth must be able
to accommodate them, allowing their treatment. The same applies to the size of the out put: in
relation to the size you want to obtain, you opt for a specific type of drain grate that can vary in the
diameter of its outlet holes.

The loading openings are of different sizes, depending on the version chosen. Among those
proposed by the main players in the sector we mention the specific case of the Bruno Folcieri
company in its proposal of granulators for post-industrial waste, with dimensions ranging from a
minimum of L800XH700 mm to a maximum of L1500XH1000 mm for the TOP LINE WET model
and from a minimum of L1200XH500 mm to a maximum of L2000XH920 mm in the EASY
POWER WET version.
