Granulators
The Herbold Meckesheim granulator is suitable for wet operation with horizontal forced feeding by means of screw conveyors, which allows space-saving installations and easy feeding of the material. Another advantage is the high throughput capacity: The SB mill can process up to two tons of polyolefins per hour or well over one ton of film. SB granulators are also often used for grinding PET bottles and in washing plants for plastics recycling. In addition, the mill is characterized by uniform load absorption and low energy consumption, and all wearparts are easily replaceable.

Shredders
Herbold single-shaft shredders are real work-horses. They are equipped with a user-friendly microprocessor control and have all the advantages of an SPS control such as:
automatic stop of the shredder if the hopper is empty
interval control of the pushing device
overload and material dependent control of the hydraulic pushing device
automatic reversing device in case of material pile-up
Ideal for:
recycling bales of film, and big lumps
injection / blow molded items with large hollow bodies
problem materials such as rejects of sintered semifinished products
thickwalled pipes
cable recycling
post-consumer waste treatment

Wash Lines
Pre-washers, wet granulators, friction washers, sink/swim tanks are just a few of the possible components of a complete wash line. Hot wash llines for PET are also effective and proven technology.

Pulverizers & Grinders
High-speed grinders designed to pulverize ground stock from profile, pipes, extruded products, film, pellets, rubber and a variety of other products. Can be equipped with a variety of grinding tools and screening units.
