This solution shares similarities with the GTWIN, offering an excellent grind. However, it operates at a slower speed of 25rpm, which results in quieter operation and less dust in regrind materials.
This model is specifically designed for in-line recycling of sprues or parts. It provides an optimal regrind without compromising the materials’ molecular structure.
As our most compact Low Speed Granulator, this performs reliably while maximising your floor space efficiently and minimising your power consumption (operating at 0.55 kW).

A Low Speed Granulator is a specialised piece of machinery used in the plastic recycling process. It is designed to break down waste material into smaller-sized granules – promoting more cost-effective reprocessing and reducing waste.
Unlike traditional granulators, these devices operate at a slower speed, offering more precise and controlled cutting. Low Speed Granulators are sought after for their unique ability to generate high-quality regrind in large volumes without altering the material’s molecular structure. This allows the regrind to be directly reintroduced into the production process, thereby saving time and resources.
The granulation of materials, like plastics, can be highly beneficial. It not only aids in recycling efforts by reducing waste but also optimises the production process by reusing materials that would otherwise be discarded. Therefore, anyone seeking to improve their efficiency, reduce waste, and save on material costs may find a Low Speed Granulator an indispensable tool.
Low Speed Granulators are used across a versatile range of applications, notably in the plastic production and recycling industry. More commonly, their function is often seen in injection and blow moulding processes, where they are utilised alongside (beside the press) machines to granulate parts and sprues.
Once the granulation process is complete, the resulting granules are seamlessly reintegrated into the production process, enhancing efficiency and minimising waste. This capability extends to rejected materials, which these machines can repurpose during the inline recycling process.
This provides an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for manufacturers, reducing material waste and reprocessing time. The high-quality regrind produced does not compromise the material’s molecular structure, making it suitable for reuse in the production process.

A plastic granulator operates by reducing the size of plastic waste into smaller granules, which can be easily reprocessed and reused. The process involves the use of a uniquely designed knife that cuts through the plastic, aided by the granulator’s rotor speed. The size of the granules is determined by the granulator’s screen size.
Low Speed Granulators, like those included in the MO-DI-TEC Goliath range, operate at a slower pace, ensuring precise and controlled cutting. This promotes high-quality granulation without altering the material’s molecular structure, making the granules suitable for direct reintegration into the production process.
In addition to Slow Speed Granulators, Summit Plastics Automation offers a variety of other plastic granulators, such as:
