Plastic Recycling

Shredder Granulator Description The SG-Series Shredder Granulator Combination combines a shredder with a granulator in a single-spacing, size reduction system for the processing of plastic production waste. The shredder segment is equipped with a 400 mm diameter E-type rotor using Virtus Equipment's proven knife and knife holder design. It is driven by a high-torque gear drive which, in comparison to a direct drive, also handles tougher input materials well. The large material hopper and the powerful horizontal pusher allow the processing of voluminous as well as heavier parts. The lower system segment consists of a 3-blade granulator rotor based on the C-series. The shredder and granulator are matched to work together ideally and in conjunction with an advanced control system ensuring smooth reliable operation.

Industrial Horizontal Shredder Description The Virtus Equipment VHS-series of industrial horizontal shredders are a single-shaft shredder featuring an angled hydraulic ram suitable for a wide range of material shapes and sizes. It is equipped with a 600 mm diameter E-type rotor and knife holder fixing system and is available in widths from 1500 mm to 2600 mm. The final material size is determined by the screen which can easily be changed based on requirements. The VHS- series shredder can be tailored to fit your recycling requirements, this includes different drive powers, knife configurations as well as discharge options.

Shredder Granulator Applications The SG shredder granulator combination has been designed mainly for in-house use in plastics blow and injection molding applications, yet it can be adopted in other fields too. The small footprint allows the system to be integrated into existing factory workshops easily. Being a closed system also reduces the risk of contamination compared to using a conveyor belt in a traditional two-stage recycling system. The system is well-suited for large volume parts and thicker materials such as flush or purging.

Virtus Equipment's C-Series Tangential Compact Soundproofed Granulators feature a compact soundproofed enclosure and sound dampening hoppers. Our granulators are available in two rotor diameters, 250 mm and 400 mm in widths from 300 mm to 1000 mm. While the smaller machines feature an open F-type rotor, the granulators rely on a heavier S-type rotor. In addition the curved back wall of the cutting chamber ensures aggressive ingestion while also avoiding blockages. Furthermore, the rigid design makes them dependable units and includes advanced standard features such as replaceable wear plates. As on all Virtus Equipment granulators, the rotor and stator knives are adjusted outside of the machine to reduce downtime for maintenance. Tangential Grinder Applications Virtus Equipment's C-Series Tangential Compact Soundproofed Granulators are inline granulators. Primarily designed for use in plastics blow molding applications to recycle voluminous parts such as bottles, canisters, crates, as well as plastics blow molding flush and injection sprues. The low feeding height makes them suitable for both hand and conveyor feeding. Whereas, the low noise level and small footprint make it the perfect fit for inline recycling operations.

Virtus Equipment single-shaft industrial shredders for plastics recycling have a powerful two-speed swing ram design. Therefore, eliminating the risk of blocking and wearing out internal guide rails. This versatile single shaft shredder can be used for shredding all types of material and is well-suited for plastics recycling. Driven by over sized gearboxes, the 457 mm diameter rotors come in widths from 850 mm to 2000 mm. The hydraulic power pack is inside the shredder housing to save space, protect it from damage, and easy to access for maintenance. The standard E rotor features the proven Virtus Equipment knife and knife holder design, as well as outboard bearings and a hydraulically-operated screen cradle. The single shaft shredders can be tailored to various applications and are offered with rotor cooling, hard facing, and other wear options. Industrial Shredder Applications Virtus G-Series heavy duty industrial shredders have been designed for a wide range of plastic recycling applications and industries such as plastic in-house and general recycling, electronic waste, and post-consumer waste handling. Input materials can be all types and forms of plastic such as lumps, pipes, film, bales, and woven bags, electronic waste like cables and ICBs, paper, wood, and other organic materials. Depending on downstream uses, the shredded material defined by the fitted screen size can be used directly or passed to the next size-reduction stage, for example, an H-series granulator. see www.Virtus-Equipment.com

The VHS- series shredder can be tailored to fit your recycling requirements, this includes different drive powers, knife configurations as well as discharge options. Industrial Horizontal Shredder Applications The VHS-series shredders provide an economical solution for recycling of plastics, wood, paper, and general waste streams. The industrial horizontal shredders have been engineered for strength and reliability in daily operation. These shredders can easily be integrated into complete lines with other Virtus products and accessories such as conveyors, granulators, etc.

Virtus Equipment's C-Series compact soundproofed beside the press granulators are designed with a complete soundproof enclosure resulting in quiet operation. Different rotor designs are available in 300 mm, 500 mm, and 700 mm diameters in widths from 300 mm to 1400 mm. A completely welded cutting chamber, in conjunction with the V-cut rotor technology, ensures dependable operation and universal application use. While delivering excellent soundproofing capabilities, the granulator’s housing still offers easy and quick access to the cutting chamber during rotor and stator knife changes, servicing, or screen changes. Accordingly, the C-Series beside the press soundproofed granulators use the latest sound dampening technology and materials. Size Reduction Applications C-Series granulator’s cutting geometry allows even voluminous materials to be ground. The complete C-Series beside the press granulators line achieves a high-quality regrind independent of the material type or form such as injection molded parts, blow-molded parts, profiles, sheets, film, etc. Our C 30 beside the press granulator is mainly used in in-line operations for processing of rejected products, or runners and sprues. C 50 expands on the C 30 capabilities to be used as small central granulators for processing of medium-sized hollow thin-walled products, or runners and sprues. Virtus C 70 is mainly used as central granulators for processing of large injected or blow-molded products as well as film. A small footprint, integrated soundproofing, and easy movability make the C-Series Compact Soundproofed Granulators very easy to place in existing operations. With different rotor designs and a wide variety of options, the granulators can be tailored for many different applications. Virtus Equipment C Series Granulator Click here to open gallery
