The HGM series granulators have been developed for the size reduction of difficult, especially tough material or material containing foreign bodies, for which normal granulators have too short a knife life, and conventional shredders cannot produce the required end-product. Low-speed granulators – the right technology for shredding in the recycling industry.
HGM granulators are machines which combine the advantages of shredders (blunt cut, relatively insensitive to foreign bodies) and grinders (shredding by means of cutting, and therefore suitable for soft and tough materials). For use also as a wet shredder, for example for agricultural films.
Advantages of the HGM series granulators:
Insensitive to foreign bodies due to an integrated shear pin coupling
Quiet operation during shredding due to the massive full-steel rotor and V-belt drive
Longer knife life
More cost-effective knife design
Armour-plated housing as standard
Excellent access to the rotor and the cutting tools due to a horizontally divided housing
Low-speed operation, minimum dust and noise generation by the shredding process
These grinders are thus suitable for a number of specific shredding processes when recycling plastic and plastic waste:
Waste from car recycling, for example pre-shredded old tyres
Bottles from household waste
Metal-reinforced rubber or plastic parts
Shredded waste from car recycling
Highly contaminated agricultural film
