The Largest System on Display: High Capacity & Heavy Duty for Post-Consumer Plastics Recycling
CMG Granulators will showcase the largest granulation system of the category, with capacity 15,000 lb/h.
Starting from the granulator unit model EV916, featuring a new state of the art cutting chamber design, the system on display will represent the latest solution innovation for plastics recyclers. Additionally, the system will be composed of evacuation cyclone with integral dedusting chamber and air/powder automatic filtration system. Also, the dimensions of the system are outstanding: 28 feet tall, with a footprint of 10 by 27 feet.
Innovation & Performance: New cutting chamber design
CMG Granulators is introducing a brand new cutting chamber design for its Evoluzione series granulators. The new rotor configuration allows the rotor blades to cut the plastic feedstock perpendicularly against the bed blades, obtaining the highest degree of cutting penetration and precision.
The rotor blades are mounted on the edge of the rotor holding modules and not on a holding block. Not only this feature is beneficial, as the inclination of the rotor blades is very high, but it also allows easy and quick servicing/replacement of the blades, with comfortable access from the front of the machine.
Continuous Improvement & New Developments: New Evacuation & Dedusting Systems
Along with its state-of-the-art granulator design, CMG Granulators is introducing a brand-new development that will premiere from the 6th to the 10th of May at NPE 2024: the new range of evacuation, dedusting and powder containment system solutions. The unit on display is the largest of the category and can evacuate, convey, dedust an amount of regrind of up to 15,000 lb/h. The entire new range of the so called Regrind Evac Systems, starts at a capacity of 500 lb/h and, through a selection of 10 different sizes, reaches the impressive capacity of 15,000 lb/h.
The new evac systems operate under full vacuum, meaning the regrind material is evacuated from the granulator and is gently conveyed to a cyclone receiver and through a dedusting chamber, all of that under negative pressure. The advantages of using negative pressure are several, from not generating any dust or small particles by friction against the conveying pipe walls, to avoiding the impact against the blower impeller blades, utilized on conventional blow-thru evac systems. The regrind is then deposited in a storage bin, gaylord or big-bag while the powdery air is handled by a purposely designed automatic self-cleaning filter unit. The powder collected at the filter unit is automatically compacted and deposited/boxed for recycling or disposal. The complete system guarantees ZERO pollution to the environment and the degree of filtration of the air from the filter station can be adjusted in respect to local regulations or specific requests.
All new system solutions supplied by CMG Granulators will be equipped with the new Evac Systems, that are also offered as upgrade kits for existing/legacy granulation systems, CMG and non-CMG.
As all machinery and equipment supplied by CMG Granulators, the new line of Regrind Evacuation Systems is entirely designed, produced and assembled at the CMG production premises in Italy.
Energy efficiency at the highest level: Adaptive Motor Power
All CMG units for Recycling applications, feature the Adaptive Motor Power (AMP) function, unique in the size reduction industry. The granulator is able to autonomously establish which power level to adopt to carry out its work, according to quantity of material to be ground, shape, weight, thickness, type of plastic, and temperature of the piece.
Super granulators for post-consumer recycling
With the new Evoluzione series, CMG presents the EV916 and EV616 models, solutions suitable for the most critical operating conditions, for wet or dry granulation, which require high performance characteristics such as granulation capacity from 2,000 to 6.500 kg/h, versatility, efficiency and sustainability.
