Easily customizable to suit different applications


Slow Speed Plastics Granulators Description


Virtus Equipment's  A 18 slow speed plastics granulators feature a staggered 180 mm diameter rotor in widths from 180 to 430 mm; concurrently, the A 30 series has a 300 mm diameter rotor in widths from 400 to 800 mm.   A geared motor directly drives the rotor.   As  well as, its low speed reduces our grinder’s noise level and creates less dust while grinding.  The A-series’ specially-designed knives can be sharpened easily and don’t require adjustment afterward.

Depending on the application, the A-series slow speed plastics granulators can be fitted with a wide variety of sound-absorbing feed hoppers and base frames and a built-in blower system with matching suction bins or bag-filling adapters allowing integration with most types of injection molding machines and robots.


Beside The Press Granulators Applications


Virtus Equipment's  slow speed plastics granulators are mainly used as beside the press machines to grind  plastic runners and sprues in injection and blow molding processes.  The resulting granules are then immediately reintroduced into the production process.   In addition, our beside the press  granulators  can be used for rejected products in the in-line recycling process as well.

Our A 30 series’  rugged design allows it to be used for stronger and thicker materials while offering the same advantages of minimized dust and reduced noise at a low speed as the smaller A 18 series.  Furthermore, these adaptable grinders can also be used as low-noise central granulators for small throughput requirements as well.

We are here to help with all your plastic size reduction needs.  LOG Injection Molding Machine  will cover your entire spectrum of plastic injection molding  machinery.

Virtus Equipment A Series Rotor KnifeSpecially-profiled Rotor Knife

The curvature of the specially profiled rotor knives ensures a constant cutting radius after re-sharpening thus maintaining the original cutting gap. Awkward knife adjustment is no longer necessary.
