A plastic granulator is a machine used to break plastic products down so they can be recycled.  It operates much like a large shredder. It turns full sized bottles, jugs, containers, boxes, shells, pipes and other plastic products into flakes, or granules. The material produced by the plastic granulator is later sold to molders and manufacturers of plastic products as recycled raw material. The recycled raw material can be used to make new plastic items.

A plastic granulator is comprised of a motor that turns a rotor. Cutting blades are attached to the rotor and encased within a closed chamber. These blades and chambers are available in numerous shapes and sizes. When used plastic material is placed inside the chamber, the rotating blades shred it into granules.

A screen is also located inside the chamber. It serves as a sifter, ensuring the plastic is small enough to be resold. If the plastic pieces are larger than the diameter of the screen holes, they are reprocessed until they are small enough.
