what is a granulator?
A plastic granulator is a machine used to break plastic products down so they can be recycled. Recent surveys report that discarded bottles, bags, packaging, and other plastic products represent as much as 40% of the solid waste tossed out by residents in communities across the nation. plastic granulator operates much like a large shredder. It turns full sized bottles, jugs, and other plastic products into flakes, or granules. The material produced by the plastic granulator is later sold to molders and manufacturers of plastic products as recycled raw material.
