Types of Granulators

Single-Shaft Granulators

Single-shaft granulators are widely used in industries requiring the size reduction of bulky materials such as plastic, rubber, and textiles. They feature a single rotating shaft equipped with cutting blades that shear material into smaller, more manageable pieces.

Features:

• Precision Cutting: Single-shaft granulators are designed for precise material reduction, thus ensuring uniform granule size.
• Interchangeable Screens: These machines come with screens that allow customisation of the output granule size by adjusting the screen’s mesh size.
• Low Energy Consumption: Majority of modern single-shaft granulators are energy-efficient. Therefore, this makes for effective granulation without consuming excessive power.

Applications:

• Plastic Recycling: Single-shaft granulators are widely used in plastic recycling facilities to granulate large plastic parts. This is like pipes, bottles, and packaging materials.
• Textile Waste Processing: These granulators are used to break down waste fabric into smaller pieces for recycling or reuse.
• Rubber Granulation: Rubber materials can be reduced to granules for further processing or disposal, such as tyres and hoses.

Double-Shaft Shredders

Double-shaft shredders are robust machines designed for handling larger volumes of materials that require more forceful cutting. These shredders have two rotating shafts equipped with sharp blades that work together to shred materials into smaller pieces.

Features:

• High Torque: The high torque of double-shaft shredders makes them ideal for shredding tough, dense materials. In fact, this applies to metal, wood, and heavy plastics.
• Durable Blades: The blades on double-shaft shredders are designed for long-term use. Therefore, they are capable of handling even the most challenging materials.
• Large Capacity: These shredders process large volumes of material at once, so makes them perfect for high-capacity operations.

Applications:

• Metal Recycling: Double-shaft shredders are commonly used in scrap metal recycling. More specifically, they break down large metal objects into smaller pieces that can be melted and reused.
• Wood Waste Processing: In the timber and construction industries, double-shaft shredders process wood waste. For instance, pallets, furniture, and tree branches into smaller chips for reuse or disposal.
• Automotive Recycling: These shredders are also used to granulate parts of vehicles for recycling, such as bumpers and dashboards.

Granulators with Integrated Shredders

Granulators with integrated shredders are versatile machines that essentially combine shredding and granulating functions. These machines first shred larger materials into smaller pieces and thus further granulate them into finer particles. In fact, this two-step process is ideal for reducing bulk materials into uniform granules.

Features:

• All-in-One Solution: By combining shredding and granulation in a single machine, these systems reduce the need for multiple machines. In essence, this should streamline material processing.
• Adjustable Granule Size: The final granule size can be easily adjusted through different screen sizes and settings.
• Efficient Material Flow: The integrated design ensures a smooth material flow from shredding to granulation, so reduces blockages.

Applications:

• Plastic Recycling: These systems are widely used in plastic recycling. Particularly when dealing with large or bulky plastic parts that need to be reduced into fine granules for reuse.
• Waste-to-Energy: Granulators with integrated shredders are used in waste-to-energy plants. This is where materials are shredded and granulated before being used as fuel.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: These machines are also used in pharmaceutical applications for the granulation of solid dosage forms.

Conveyor Systems

Conveyor systems are crucial for moving materials from one stage of processing to another. This is specifically the case in industries dealing with high volumes of bulk material. GM Diagnostics work with a variety of conveyor systems, so guarantees seamless material transport for granulation and shredding operations.

Types of Conveyors:

Belt Conveyors: Belt conveyors are used to transport materials across different sections of a facility. They are widely used in manufacturing, recycling, and waste management. More specifically, this is to move materials to and from shredders, granulators, and storage areas.

Screw Conveyors: Screw conveyors are ideal for moving fine or granular materials. These systems use a rotating screw to push materials through a tube. They are commonly used in industries such as food processing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

Chain Conveyors: Chain conveyors are used for heavy-duty applications, especially when dealing with bulky materials. This is such as metal parts, wood logs, and automotive parts. The chains provide robust support, so any materials are securely transported without slipping.

Features:

• Continuous Operation: Conveyors allow for continuous, automated material flow. Therefore, this shall reduce manual labour and improving efficiency.
• Customisable Design: Conveyor systems can be tailored to suit the specific needs of different facilities. For instance, size, speed, and material handling capacity.
• Durability: Designed for industrial environments, conveyors are built to withstand the rigours of constant use and heavy loads.

Applications:

• Recycling Plants: In recycling plants, conveyors transport materials such as plastics, metals, and paper. This is to relocate them to shredders and granulators for further processing.
• Manufacturing: Conveyors are used to move raw materials and finished products along the production line in manufacturing facilities,
• Agriculture: In the agricultural industry, conveyors transport grains, seeds, and other bulk materials from storage silos to processing units.
