In the dynamic landscape of recycling, post-consumer recycling has emerged as one of the fastest-growing markets. This is fuelled by the scarcity of resources and rising energy costs. GM Diagnostics an established Bolton Engineering Company recognises the need for sustainable Shredders and Granulator Solutions, so we play a pivotal role in this sector.
Above all, this market thrives on repurposing daily waste into new products. Such as the transformation of PET bottles into yarns and fibres for the textile industry. GM Diagnostics has established itself as the go-to location for the implementation of size-reduction equipment, specialising in shredders and granulator solutions.
With a commitment to excellence, GM Diagnostics offers a diverse servicing portfolio. As a Bolton Engineering Company, we cater to the wide spectrum of materials requiring granulation and size reduction.
Shredders and Granulator Solutions from our Bolton Engineering Company
At the heart of Bolton Engineering’s success is its commitment to delivering top-tier Shredding Solutions.

The Industrial Shredding Equipment from Bolton Engineering is a testament to their dedication to quality. With advanced features, these shredders are capable of tackling the toughest industrial waste, transforming it into manageable particles for recycling purposes. Our Granulation Technology ensures that the shredded materials are granulated to the desired size, so enhances the recycling process.
Cutting-edge Granulation Machines for Plastics and Metals
GM Diagnostics’ Granulation Machines are at the forefront of recycling equipment, especially in the realm of Plastic Granulators and Metal Shredders. These machines are designed to cater to the unique challenges posed by different materials. For instance, Plastic Granulators utilise advanced processes to break down plastic waste into granules, ready to be repurposed in various industries.
Metal Shredders from GM Diagnostics exemplify the company’s dedication to precision engineering. Whether dealing with ferrous or non-ferrous metals, these machines ensure efficient shredding and granulation. Ultimately these maximise the value of metal waste and contribute to sustainable resource management.
Working with a range of machine series designed for in-house applications, including:
The GSL, GST, GSC, GSE, and ZCS series from Bolton Engineering Company are meticulously designed. Specifically to meet the demanding needs of in-house recycling applications aligned with production machinery.
These granulators enable the direct reintroduction of regrind into the production process or efficient storage in a central silo. The compact size and low noise emission of Bolton Engineering Company’s machines make them ideal for in-house scrap processing.
GM Diagnostics is equipped with an extensive range of shredders, granulators, and pulverisers. So as a Bolton Engineering Company, we stand out as one of the few recycling machinery makers to offer a comprehensive spectrum under one roof. As a result, this eliminates the need for OEMs.
Key Features of Shredders and Granulators Solutions:
Integration into Production Process: Machines can be seamlessly integrated into the production process, ensuring a smooth workflow.
Low Noise Level: As a Bolton Engineering Company, our granulators operate at low noise levels. This is in order to create a conducive working environment.
Quick and Simple Maintenance: The machines are designed for easy maintenance, complying with global safety requirements and minimising downtime.
Customisability: Tailored to fit specific needs, GM Diagnostics’ granulators offer flexibility to accommodate various requirements.
Defining each Granulator Series for In-House Applications:
- GSL (Slow Speed Granulators): Specifically designed to directly grind runners and sprues from injection machines.
- GST (Soundproofed Granulators): Featuring an aggressive tangential infeed and cutting chamber, so these granulators are ideal for in-house recycling.
- GSC (Soundproofed Compact Granulators): Suited for a wide variety of inline tasks, offering versatility and efficiency.
- GSE (Same as GSC series, but without soundproofed housing): Providing granulation solutions without compromising space requirements.
- ZCS (Space-Saving Shredder/Granulator Combination): Efficiently combines shredding and granulation in a compact design.
All machines share common benefits, for example, a consistent final product, reduced fine particles, and low heat generation. In addition to reduced noise emission, a small footprint, and easy maintenance.
Post Consumer Recycling
Turning waste into new raw materials involves a multi-step process. The plastic stream is typically pre-sorted either by consumers themselves, waste sorting plants, or independent waste collectors.
From this point onwards, recycling becomes more automated, transforming a diverse range of input materials. For instance, PET bottles, PE films, PVC window frames, PP from toys, ABS from computer and TV housings, and more, into reusable granules, powders, flakes, and compounds. These materials can be turned into high-value products like new bottles, yarns, or less valuable items such as flowerpots and garbage bags.
When waste is repurposed into energy, the shredding process is crucial to achieving a homogeneous mix. This is to facilitate easier handling, storage, and feeding into the next step. Efficiency is paramount in this scenario to maintain an optimal energy balance and ensure economic viability.
Engineering Solutions for Shredders and Granulators machinery
GM Diagnostics stands ready to address the challenges of post-consumer recycling with tailored equipment designed to optimise operational profitability. The company’s robust shredders can achieve output capacities according to specific requirements. All while ensuring wear-resistant executions and being available in various machine and drive options.
Whether it’s rough sizing with the shredder range, granulating with the granulator range, or micronising with the pulverisers. Ultimately GM Diagnostics provides comprehensive solutions to complete the setup for a seamless recycling process.
This advantage allows the company to assemble the perfect setup for each job, so ensures optimal performance and cost-effectiveness. With auxiliary equipment like belt conveyors, separators, and air conveying systems, GM Diagnostics can create complete recycling systems. Specifically, systems that are capable of transforming any initial infeed material into a valuable end product.
Bolton Engineering Company advises Recycling Solutions
In the realm of plastic recycling, GM Diagnostics recognises the challenges posed by the diversity of plastics, additives, and fillers. The industry is traditionally divided into contractors and independent recyclers, each with its unique set of challenges and opportunities.
Contractors: Working directly with plastic manufacturers, contractors process waste into reusable products. So, these seamlessly reintegrate recycled material into the production process.
Independent Recyclers: Dealing with waste from various sources, independent recyclers sell recycled materials to third parties. Most commonly this is for lower-grade products. Common products processed in both sectors include rejected parts, runners, lumps, and purgings, necessitating the selection of the right machine for diverse applications.
