The plastic is fed into the machine where it&#8217;s cut into smaller pieces by sharp blades on a rotor. The design of these knives and the speed of the rotor have a significant impact on the granulation process. The friction generated during this process also produces heat, which aids in the size reduction. The reduced plastic pieces then pass through a screen, the size of which determines the final size of the granules.<\/p>\n<p>The granulation process is not only vital for the recycling industry but also for various plastic manufacturing processes, including injection moulding, blow moulding, and extrusion processes.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                    <div class=\"faq-item rounded-[8px] overflow-hidden\">\n                                                <button class=\"faq-toggle w-full flex items-center justify-between text-left py-4 text-brand1\">\n                                                    <h3 class=\"text-xl font-black\">What are the Different Types of Granulators?<\/h3>\n                                                    <i class=\"fa-kit fa-summit-faq-toggle transition-transform duration-300 text-sm md:text-base\"><\/i>\n                                                <\/button>\n                                                <div class=\"faq-content faq-closed transition-all duration-300 ease-out overflow-hidden\">\n                                                    <div class=\"content-area pb-4 text-primary [&#038;_h4]:text-brand1\">\n                                                        <p>Here at Summit Plastics Automation, we provide a range of granulators to meet a variety of applications, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/summitsystems.co.uk\/plastics-automation\/products\/plastics-recycling-machinery\/plastic-granulators\/\">Plastic Granulators<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/summitsystems.co.uk\/plastics-automation\/products\/plastics-recycling-machinery\/compact-granulators\/\">Compact Granulators<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/summitsystems.co.uk\/plastics-automation\/products\/plastics-recycling-machinery\/beside-the-press-granulator\/\">Besides the Press Granulators<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/summitsystems.co.uk\/plastics-automation\/products\/plastics-recycling-machinery\/thermoforming-granulators\/\">Thermoforming Granulators<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/summitsystems.co.uk\/plastics-automation\/products\/plastics-recycling-machinery\/blow-moulding-granulator\/\">Blow Moulding Granulators<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/summitsystems.co.uk\/plastics-automation\/products\/plastics-recycling-machinery\/heavy-duty-granulator\/\">Heavy Duty Granulators<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/summitsystems.co.uk\/plastics-automation\/products\/plastics-recycling-machinery\/combined-shredder-granulator\/\">Combined Shredder &amp; Granulators<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                    <div class=\"faq-item rounded-[8px] overflow-hidden\">\n                                                <button class=\"faq-toggle w-full flex items-center justify-between text-left py-4 text-brand1\">\n                                                    <h3 class=\"text-xl font-black\">How Do Heavy Duty Granulators Differ From Regular Granulators?<\/h3>\n                                                    <i class=\"fa-kit fa-summit-faq-toggle transition-transform duration-300 text-sm md:text-base\"><\/i>\n                                                <\/button>\n                                                <div class=\"faq-content faq-closed transition-all duration-300 ease-out overflow-hidden\">\n                                                    <div class=\"content-area pb-4 text-primary [&#038;_h4]:text-brand1\">\n                                                        <p>Heavy duty granulators differ from regular granulators primarily in their size, power, and capacity. They are typically larger and more powerful, designed to handle and size-reduce greater volumes of scrap from various processing lines. This makes them ideal for heavy duty tasks and industrial uses where large amounts of material need to be processed and granulated. So, while regular granulators are suited for smaller, less demanding tasks, heavy duty granulators are the go-to choice for more substantial, high-volume operations.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                    <div class=\"faq-item rounded-[8px] overflow-hidden\">\n                                                <button class=\"faq-toggle w-full flex items-center justify-between text-left py-4 text-brand1\">\n                                                    <h3 class=\"text-xl font-black\">What Type of Materials Can Be Processed by Heavy-Duty Granulators?<\/h3>\n                                                    <i class=\"fa-kit fa-summit-faq-toggle transition-transform duration-300 text-sm md:text-base\"><\/i>\n                                                <\/button>\n                                                <div class=\"faq-content faq-closed transition-all duration-300 ease-out overflow-hidden\">\n                                                    <div class=\"content-area pb-4 text-primary [&#038;_h4]:text-brand1\">\n                                                        <p>Heavy duty granulators are incredibly versatile, able to process a wide range of materials. They are most commonly used to granulate various types of plastics, from tiny individual scrap pieces to large quantities. However, their capabilities don&#8217;t stop there. They can also efficiently process non-plastic materials such as rubber, making them indispensable in the recycling industry. Furthermore, they have the ability to handle electronic waste (e-waste), aiding in its safe disposal and recycling.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n
