Granulators
Beside the Press Granulators
Each machine integrates into any molding or extrusion operation for resin reclaim directly at the side of the press. Sterling beside-the-press granulators are equipped with or without screens to allow optional viewing of material being processed. The screens give the ability to gauge how full the cutting chamber is and verify consistent material flow without having to shut the machine down. Design your system with a variety of customizable options such as infeed and discharge configurations.

Low Noise
- Sound proof steel hopper results in less noise pollution
- Low rotor RPM also contributes to less noise made within the chamber
Low Dust
- Rotating blade uses stainless steel, produces uniform grain size and minimizes powder formation
Energy Efficiency
- Newly designed cutter allows for energy efficient, consistent granulation while using less horsepower
