Shred and grind bales of plastic in a single machine

| By Chemical Engineering

Herbold Meckesheim

This firm’s range of granulators has been expanded with the addition of the HB Series (photo), which will be launched for the first time at the K-Show. With this new granulator, it is now possible to size-reduce whole bales of film, bulk injection-molding and blow-molding parts, and bales of foamed plastics, in one step, to the required granule size for subsequent treatment. The grinding chamber is directly linked to a feed hopper. With the help of a PLC-controlled ram, the material is moved to the rotor. As a result, a two-step process (shredder and granulator) is no longer necessary. Hall 9, Stand 42 — Herbold Meckesheim GmbH, Mechesheim, Germany
