How to choose a granulator for post industrial plastic waste

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 be able 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.
If we have to treat industrial waste material, dry machinery are the most suitable but we must
ensure high constructive strength, since the applications are particularly difficult, we speak of
grinding tough, abrasive plastic materials which, due to this characteristic, they are highly wearing.

The nature of the material originally indicates which path to take in the choice, the Folcieri mills in
the dry version treat:
Film and plates,
Pipes and Profiles
Blocks
Sprues
Abrasive Materials: Raffia, Nylon
Corrugated pipes in high density polyethylene
Smooth pipes in PE
RIGID PVC pipes
PIPES PP
Post industrial shots from Thermoforming
Post industrial waste from extrusion

Even the original dimensions of the material must be evaluated as the loading mouth must be able
to accommodate them, allowing them to be treated. 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 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 L600XH550 mm to a maximum of L1500XH1000 mm for the Granulator for plastic materials TOP LINE model, and from a minimum of L1200XH500 mm to a maximum of L2000XH920 mm in the Granulator for plastic materials EASY POWER version.
