Granulators and Other Size Reduction Machinery by AEC

As a global leader in used plastics machinery, Arlington Machinery frequently carries AEC products within our inventory. We often offer beside-the-press and below-the-press granulators such as:

• Model GP 1018: Measuring 10” x 18”, this beside-the-press granulator comes with a pivoting hopper, removeable screen, 3 knife open rotor, and a 10” cutting circle with 50” feed height. Max throughput for most 1018s is 550 pounds per hour.

• Model GP 1224: Larger than the 1018 at 12” x 24”, the 1224 has a comparatively larger cutting circle (12”) and feed height (53”) with a removable screen and 3 knife open rotor. The max throughput is significantly higher than the 1018 at 900 pounds per hour.

AEC granulators and other size reduction machines can be incorporated within existing plastics molding or extrusion operations. This allows you to reclaim resins directly from the side of the press, reducing manual effort and streamlining all points of your operation.
