Extrusion is a fundamental process for the transformation of materials into various products. However, in order to achieve optimal results, it is essential to have efficient equipment that allows plastic products to be crushed and granulated effectively.
In this sense, extrusion granulators are presented as a complete solution that we offer at Luiso, an engineering and equipment company for plastic transformation.
What are Extrusion Granulators?
Extrusion granulators are specialized equipment used in the plastics industry to crush and transform materials into uniform, high-quality granules. These devices play a crucial role in the production chain, allowing the reuse and recycling of plastic materials, as well as the production of new materials for various extrusion processes.
The Characteristics of extrusion granulators:
The characteristics and properties of these solutions for crushing plastic products are very varied:
- Advanced Cutting Technology: The granulators are equipped with state-of-the-art cutting systems that ensure an efficient and precise grinding process. Plastic materials are reduced to homogeneous granules, facilitating their subsequent handling and use in different applications.
- Customization: Each company has unique needs in plastic processing. For this reason, extrusion granulators can be customized to adapt to the specific requirements of each client. From the production capacity to the size and shape of the granules, these equipment can be adjusted to obtain optimal results.
- Energy Efficiency: Manufacturers of extrusion granulators are increasingly committed to developing equipment that minimizes energy consumption. These devices are designed to operate efficiently, reducing production costs and environmental impact.
- Durability and Resistance: The granulators are built with robust and wear-resistant materials, which guarantees a long useful life and reliable performance in demanding working conditions.
- Ease of Maintenance: Most extrusion granulators are designed to be easy to maintain and clean. This ensures continuous operation and reduces production downtime.
- Security and Protection: The granulators have security systems that protect the operators during their use. In addition, measures are implemented to prevent unauthorized access and protect the equipment from possible damage.
With their advanced technology, customization, energy efficiency and durability, these devices are positioned as a key tool for the transformation of plastic in various industrial applications.

These machines reduce the size of the strap, which is especially useful in warehouses and shopping centers, since it reduces space and transport costs. Our granulator is equipped with special blades that can be easily replaced or removed for sharpening, guaranteeing optimal and long-lasting performance.
- Film: For online and offline recycling of all types of film, CMG has a wide range of more than 15 single-shaft granulators and shredders. Our customizable infeed system, combined with a discharge conveyor or vacuum system, provides an ideal solution for manufacturers and recyclers, enabling them to process different types of film efficiently and profitably.
- Expanded Foam: CMG has several granulators and grinders capable of grinding expanded foam. Our wide range of models, with or without roller or vane feeding systems, is designed to meet different customer requirements. A customizable infeed system combined with a discharge belt or vacuum system offers an ideal solution for manufacturers and recyclers looking to process expanded foam effectively.
- Tubes and Profiles: Online grinding of extruded tubes and profiles is essential to avoid the accumulation of bulky waste when starting up a plant, which translates into significant savings in time and space. Our range of granulators and crushers, combined with various special hoppers, complete our offer for pipe and profile applications, ensuring precise and efficient crushing.
They are high quality equipment, customizable design and operational efficiency, which make CMG the ideal choice for companies seeking reliable and efficient grinding solutions in the plastic extrusion process.
Frequently Asked Questions
-What are extrusion granulators and what is their main function?
Extrusion granulators are equipment used in the plastics industry to crush and reduce the size of plastic products derived from the extrusion process, such as sheets, strapping, film, expanded foam, tubes, and profiles. Its main function is to transform these products into small granules or pellets that can then be reused or recycled to manufacture new products.
-What type of granulators are ideal for recycling film and expanded foam?
For recycling film and expanded foam, single shaft granulators are an excellent choice. These equipments are capable of efficiently crushing these materials and transforming them into high-quality granules. In addition, its customizable feeding system and the possibility of combining it with a discharge conveyor belt or a vacuum system, facilitate the recycling process for both manufacturers and recyclers, allowing efficient management of this plastic waste.
-How can I select the right granulator for my company’s needs?
Selecting the right granulator will depend on several factors, such as the type of plastic products to be shredded, the production capacity required, the space available in your company, and your recycling goals.
