Plastic Granulators
Summit Systems provides a diverse range of industrial plastic granulators engineered to handle both rigid and flexible materials depending on your requirements.
Designed for maximum versatility, these machines offer reliable cutting and grinding capabilities across a variety of applications, from sprues and injection-moulded parts to extruded components and film trims.
With heavy duty construction, advanced soundproofing options and efficient energy-consumption, our granulators deliver cost-effective and dependable performance, whether for in-line use or as part of a second-step grinding process.
A plastic granulator is a machine designed to reduce plastic materials into smaller, uniform pieces called granules. These granules can then be reused in manufacturing processes, recycled into new products or further processed for other applications.
Granulators are commonly used in industries such as packaging, automotive and recycling, making them an essential tool for reducing waste and reclaiming valuable materials.
TRIA XT Series Plastic Granulators
The TRIA XT Series is tailored for the precise recovery of scrap generated from rigid or flexible extrusion processes. Ideal for handling small sprues, heavy moulds or pre-crushed materials, these granulators provide consistent and efficient grinding performance.
Featuring a cutting chamber specially designed for safety and efficiency, the XT Series is particularly well-suited for immediate in-line grinding of film and trims.
Renowned for their durability and low operational costs, these granulators ensure high-performance scrap recovery and seamless integration into demanding workflows.

Plastic Granulators: FAQs
While shredding, grinding and granulating all involve size reduction, they differ in technique and application:
- Shredding: A process used for reducing larger materials into manageable pieces using slow-speed, high-torque blades. Shredders are often the first step in breaking down bulky materials.
- Grinding: Involves the finer size reduction of materials, typically used for achieving precise, uniform particle sizes. It can follow shredding or be used independently for smaller materials.
- Granulating: A process specific to reducing plastics into consistent granules or chips, ideal for recycling and reusing in manufacturing. Granulators are optimised for efficiency, precision and material integrity.
